Description
The DiGi Project F145 has been developed to accommodate a broad variety of swimming pool layouts and access requirements. The F145 high-pole version is intended for a wide range of walled swimming pools.
Semi-Portable Pool Lift Design
The F145 and F145B are particularly unusual because they combine a fixed poolside mounting with a chair and wheeled trolley.
The fixed parts remain installed at the pool, while the chair and trolley can be used to transport the user between locations such as:
- Poolside
- Changing rooms
- Shower areas
- Other nearby accessible facilities
This can help reduce the need for repeated transfers between separate wheelchairs and the pool lift.
F145 High-Pole Version
The F145 high-pole version is designed for a wide range of walled swimming pools.
It is the more appropriate configuration where the installation requires the greater height provided by the high-pole design.
Choice of Seat or Sling
The F145 range can be configured with either Chair + wheeled trolley or Sling. The chair-and-trolley arrangement is particularly useful where the same seat will be used to transport the individual between poolside and changing facilities. The sling option provides an alternative transfer configuration where clinically or practically appropriate.
360° Rotation
The F145 boasts a full 360° rotation. This allows the lifting arm to rotate fully around its mounting point, supporting flexible positioning during poolside transfers.
140kg Maximum User Capacity
The F145 and F145B have a maximum lifting capacity of 140kg / approximately 22 stone. This capacity applies across the manufacturer's listed technical specification.
Fast 20-Second Lift Cycle
The manufacturer specifies a lowering/lifting time under load of approximately 20 seconds. This provides relatively quick movement between poolside and water.
1350mm Maximum Travel
The F145 provides a maximum lifting travel of 1350mm. This supports substantial vertical movement to accommodate different pool configurations.
Three Floor Fixing Options
One of the F145 range's strongest installation advantages is the choice of three anchoring systems.
The manufacturer lists:
- External plate fixed with dowels
- Plate embedded in a 60 x 60 x 60cm concrete block
- Recessed socket that disappears into the floor
This gives installers greater flexibility when adapting the lift to different poolside construction types.
Recessed Socket Option
The recessed socket can be particularly useful where a cleaner poolside finish is required once the lift is removed. Because the mounting point is designed to disappear into the floor, the area can remain less obstructed when the removable lift components are not in place.
Installation suitability must still be assessed for the specific site.
Adjustable Armrests
The F145 includes adjustable armrests, allowing the seating arrangement to be configured around user and transfer requirements.
Retractable Leg Support
A retractable leg support is included within the standard specification. This provides support for the lower limbs while allowing the leg support to be moved out of the way when necessary for transfers.
2-Point Safety Belt
The F145 includes a 2-point safety belt. Ensure users are properly secured during any transfers or movement.
IPX06 Push-Button Controls
The lift is operated using an IPX06 push-button panel with spiral cable. The handset provides straightforward up/down control and can be operated from the water.
Emergency Stop
An emergency stop button is incorporated into the lift for additional operational safety.
Removable 24V Battery
The F145 range is powered by a 24V removable battery. A charger is supplied, allowing the battery to be removed for convenient charging.
Approximately 50 Working Cycles
DiGi Project specifies average battery autonomy of approximately 50 working cycles
Actual performance may depend on operating load, battery condition and environmental factors.
Durable Poolside Construction
The F145 is manufactured using materials and protective treatments designed for aquatic environments.
