touch&move driving support

The GentleMOVE hoist has touch&move driving support as standard. This is a unique, intuitive electrically powered drive that makes working with a hoist easier and more pleasant. The push handle of a hoist with touch&move driving support has sensors that measure the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on it. A gentle push against the push handle is enough to set the additional wheel under the patient lift in motion, either forwards, backwards or sideways. That may sound technical but using it is very intuitive. Read more about touch&move here.

New: the proper usage indication on the control panel enables you to check whether the hoist is being used correctly. And off you go - no problem!

Spreader bar options 

The GentleMOVE has a four-point electric spreader bar as standard. This four-point spreader bar is suitable for slings with clips that can be fixed to the attachment points. Using the hand control or the control panel, the patient’s position can be changed during the transfer.

When slings with loops are to be used, the GentleMOVE can be fitted with a two-point spreader bar. This type of spreader bar has two attachment points and no tilt function. The patient’s position can therefore only be changed by varying the length of the loops.

Weighing unit 

Regularly weighing passive patients is very difficult in practice. A hoist with weighing unit can help make periodic weighing of a patient simpler. The weighing unit is optional and can be integrated into the arm of the GentleMOVE. This makes it possible to weigh patients easily on a regular basis. The maximum weighing capacity is 200 kg.
