Patient Lifters & Transfers

Safe, dignified moves for the person, and less risk of injury for the people caring for them. The right hoist and sling make transfers calmer and more comfortable, and can be what makes staying at home possible.

The sling matters as much as the hoist, so we match size, type and fit to the person and the task. Our range includes mobile hoists such as the Birdie EVO and Alto Lift, ceiling track systems, standing and pivot frames, spreader bars and slings. Need a hoist quickly for a hospital discharge or short-term care? Patient lifters are available to hire. Otherwise, book an assessment or call 1300 622 122.

Common questions

Mobile hoist or ceiling hoist?
A mobile hoist moves between rooms but needs floor space. A ceiling hoist takes up no floor space and is easier for carers to use in one area.

Which sling do I need?
The sling type and size need to match the person and the transfer. Your OT will usually advise, and we can help you compare options.

Do you show carers how to use it?
Yes. When we deliver and set it up, we show you and your carers how to use it safely.

  • E-Track - Wall Mount

    E-Track – Wall Mount

    Overhead tracking: Go to the wall

    Ergolet’s E–Track is a proud example of innovative Danish design. It represents, quite simply, a revolution in overhead tracking techniques.
    E-Track’s unique difference is that it is a wall mounted track solution. In reality E-Track is an attractive flat wall panel offering a discreet and unobtrusive alternative to the unsightly wall and ceiling brackets that are conventionally used. Moreover, E-track is quick and simple to install, making it an extremely cost effective choice and the preffered professionals’ choice for home and institutional settings.
    Can be mounted on almost any type of wall construction.
    E-Track is also a supremely flexible system. For example, a room can be completed with E-Track and a traverse system, but if the traverse system is not being used, or is required in another room, then the traverse can be quickly and easily dismounted from the E-track profiles and conveniently moved.
    An additional feature is E-Track’s profile on the underside, a practical feature for hanging light pictures or other wall decorations, removing the need to make holes in the wall.
    An aluminum cover plate locks onto the lower fixing channel concealing unsightly electrical cables and screws. And if a room has E-Track installed but is not being used for overhead lifting, then a second cover plate can be clicked into the upper channel transforming E-Track it into a flat, fully closed wall panel.

    Key standard functions
    Can be mounted on almost any type of wall construction.
