FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist?
The Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist is a compact folding patient hoist designed to assist with transfers. Its portable design makes it particularly useful for transferring disabled users in and out of cars and converted vans, as well as for suitable indoor and outdoor transfers.
What is the Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist used for?
The CareSafe Hoist provides powered lifting assistance for people who require support during transfers. A key application is transferring a person into or out of a vehicle, although it can also be used for appropriate transfers in other environments.
Can the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist be used for car transfers?
Yes. The Ardoo CareSafe is specifically designed to assist with lifting users in and out of cars. Vehicle suitability, available space and the individual's transfer requirements should be assessed before use.
Can the CareSafe 140 be used with converted vans?
Yes. The Ardoo CareSafe Hoist is designed for use with both cars and converted vans, subject to the particular vehicle configuration and the user's individual requirements.
Does the Ardoo CareSafe 140 fold?
Yes. The CareSafe is a small folding hoist. Its folding design is one of its main advantages for users who need a patient lifting solution that can be transported or stored when not required.
Will the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist fit in a car boot?
The CareSafe is designed to be compact enough to fit into a car boot. Car boot dimensions vary considerably, however, so check the hoist's current folded dimensions against your vehicle before purchasing.
Is the Ardoo CareSafe 140 a portable patient hoist?
Yes. Its compact folding design makes the CareSafe particularly suited to situations where portability is important. This can provide greater flexibility than a hoist intended to remain permanently in one location.
Can the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist be used indoors?
Yes. The CareSafe can be used indoors for appropriate patient transfers where there is sufficient space and the environment is suitable for safe operation.
Can the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist be used outdoors?
Yes. The Ardoo CareSafe is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Surface conditions, space and the individual transfer should always be considered before operating a patient hoist outdoors.
What is the maximum user weight for the Ardoo CareSafe 140?
Check the current manufacturer's specification for the precise maximum user weight and safe working load of the CareSafe 140. Never exceed the stated limit when carrying out a transfer.
What sling do I need for the Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist?
The appropriate sling depends on the user, type of transfer and hoist configuration. Sling compatibility, size and suitability should be confirmed before use, ideally as part of an individual moving and handling assessment.
Is a sling supplied with the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist?
Check the current product package to establish exactly which accessories are included. If a sling needs to be purchased separately, ensure it is compatible with the hoist and appropriate for the individual user.
Can one carer operate the Ardoo CareSafe 140?
The number of carers required depends on the individual, transfer, environment, risk assessment and moving and handling plan. The manufacturer's instructions and relevant care procedures should always be followed.
Is the Ardoo CareSafe suitable for travelling?
Its compact, folding design and ability to fit into a suitable car boot make the CareSafe particularly relevant to users who need to transport their hoist. Consider the folded dimensions, equipment weight and how the hoist will be safely loaded and unloaded from the vehicle.
Does the Ardoo CareSafe replace a standard mobile patient hoist?
The CareSafe's compact and portable design makes it useful where storage, travel and vehicle transfers are priorities. A larger conventional mobile hoist may be more appropriate for other users or transfer situations. The choice should be based on an individual assessment.
Do I need an assessment before buying an Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist?
An assessment is recommended for specialist patient lifting equipment. Factors including the user's size, mobility, posture, sling requirements, vehicle, transfer environment and carer needs should all be considered.
Is training required to use the Ardoo CareSafe Hoist?
Anyone operating a patient hoist should understand its controls, sling attachment and safe transfer procedures. Professional carers and organisations should ensure users receive appropriate moving and handling instruction and training.
How should the Ardoo CareSafe 140 Hoist be maintained?
Follow Ardoo's instructions for inspection, servicing, charging and maintenance. Patient lifting equipment should be routinely checked for signs of wear or damage and maintained in accordance with applicable servicing and safety requirements.
