Say welcome to Forte 320 – the latest addition to our family of patient lifting hoists!
Featuring an impressive 320kg safe working load, class-leading lift height against comparable patient lifters, extra low base for better access and maximised patient lift space, the Forte 320 is your ideal hospital, nursing and community bariatric hoist.
What’s great about the Forte 320?
User focussed. The Forte 320 has been designed with both patient and caregiver in mind. It promotes
- safe lifting of heavier patients,
- lower caregiver injury risk,
- increased dignity of patients and
- improved safety in general.
Superior tilt range. The Forte 320 features a class-leading lift height against comparable patient lifters.
Increased patient handling space. Twin mast allows for the LA44 actuator to be ‘recessed’ in between the masts which maximises patient lift space. Superior patient positioning can be achieved due to the uni joint in the yoke.
Ability to handle patients of any size. The extra width 4 point yoke with integrated weigh scale that comes standard with the Forte 320 is designed to lift patients of any size. The large open cradle design allows the patient to be comfortably transferred without feeling pinched or squeezed.
Better access. An extra low base height promotes better access under beds and other furniture. Coupled with a powered electric leg spread, this permits the legs to open and close with ease, allowing easy access around armchairs, wheelchairs, and other objects without having to bend or twist. The concealed electric leg spread actuator promotes better hygiene practices and more space to walk behind hoist.
Smooth mobility and enhanced manoeuvrability. 4 x twin wheel castors ensure that patient weight is split and evenly distributed. The less weight a single wheel has to cope with, the easier it will be to move the hoist when transferring patients. It also takes less amount of force to get a twin wheel castor to change direction, improving the ergonomics of the hoist.
Long lasting battery life. A long lasting Linak lithium battery pack is a premium standard addition to the Forte 320 enabling 3 times more lifts from a single charge, faster lifts if preferred and no speed decrease under load.
Safety and ease of use.
- Large handles attached to the hoist enables better grip and control to easily move the lift.
- An open boom pivot helps prevent any form of trapping.
- The electric leg spread mechanism is fully encased in the chassis to prevent exposure to damage and to eliminate any pinch points.
- The integrated digital weighing scale on the large 4 point yoke allows patient’s weight to be taken easily.
It is proudly Australian made and Australian standards tested.
