Detailed Overview
Effortless and Dignified Transfers
Moving a loved one or a patient from a bed to a wheelchair, or into a bathroom, can be physically demanding and potentially unsafe without the right equipment. The Chiltern 100 Series operates on a smooth overhead track, taking 100% of the weight and strain out of the transfer. This allows the caregiver to maintain eye contact and interact closely with the user, ensuring the process is calm, dignified, and entirely safe.
Smooth, Whisper-Quiet Operation
Sudden, jerky movements during a transfer can cause distress or discomfort, particularly for users with joint pain or high tone. The 100 Series motor is specifically engineered with a "soft start and stop" function. This ensures that the lift begins and ends with a gentle, gradual motion, providing a comfortable and reassuring experience for the passenger every single time.
Space-Saving and Unobtrusive
Standard mobile floor hoists are heavy, difficult to maneuver over carpets, and take up a massive amount of storage space. By utilizing a ceiling-mounted track system, the Chiltern 100 Series completely eliminates floor clutter. When not in use, the lifting motor rests quietly out of the way on the ceiling, leaving the room fully accessible and free from trip hazards.
Uncompromising Safety Features
Safety is at the core of the Chiltern 100 Series design. The hoist is equipped with standard emergency stop and emergency lowering functions, ensuring that the user can always be safely lowered to a bed or chair even in the rare event of a total power failure. The simple, ergonomic handset also ensures the caregiver is always fully in control of the lift's speed and direction.
