Hoists
A hoist is used to help move a person from one spot to another. For example moving from their bed into a wheelchair or to support getting into a bath.
There are different types of hoists to help with different needs. Most commonly seen are track hoists that help someone move a short distance, for example from their bed into a wheelchair
There are also chair hoists that will help someone to get in and out of a bath
