Attach loops to the spreader bar or lifting strap
Attach the loops to the spreader bar or lifting straps of the lifting equipment. Attach the
shoulder- and head loops before the leg loops. The sling can be used at spreader bars with 2
attachment points. Please note, that for security and comfort reasons, the size (width) of the
spreader bar must correspond with the size of the sling.
Invacare recommend that a professional, prior to issuing lifting equipment, always carry out a
risk assessment. If you are in doubt about the use of Invacare's slings with other manufacturer's
equipment, contact Invacare®or you supplier for advice.
The position of the client in the sling can be adjusted by using the different adjustment straps.
Shorter loops at the shoulders will produce a more vertical lift, which will assist with posi-
tioning into a chair or wheelchair. By lowering the loops at the shoulders a more reclined
position can be achieved which is more suitable for a chair to bed transfer.
Use only CE marked spreader bars and hoists, preferably with a rated Safe Working
Load equal to or higher than that of the sling. If the SWL is lower than of the sling,
the SWL of the spreader bar or hoist is applicable.
Always check that all the straps are properly attached to the spreader bar or lifting
strap before attempting to lift the client.
Invacare®recommend that a risk assessment is always carried out by a professional
prior to issuing lifting equipment. Always choose the sling design and size according
to the clients weight, size and physical ability.
Slings should be checked regularly for wear and damage* – NEVER use a damaged
sling. (*In accordance with each country's regulations).
If you are in any doubt, please do not attempt to use the sling and seek the advice
of a professional or your supplier.
