The maximum lifting capacity for the POWEO® 150 is 150kg.
The maximum load can be lifted while using the engine non-stop for roughly one minute. The delay
between 2 lifts of maximum capacity should be roughly 10 minutes in order to allow the engine to cool
down.
The suspension should be positioned across the patient as below.
Use slings developed especially for the 4 points suspension of SCALEO Medical patient lifters.
It is NOT recommended to use others slings from others manufacturers than the ones recommended for
SCALEO Medical patient lifters.
SCALEO Medical refuses any liability in the case of an incident while using slings other than those
made especially for their lifters.
Rigid stretchers and weighing systems are not compatible with the Poweo ® 150
Avoid transferring patients on thick carpeted floors. Ragged surfaces and any obstacles may block the wheels. If
the force is too important, the lifter could be destabilised and can tip over, especially if the lifter is being used
with maximum weight capacity.
In these cases, we recommend that you open the legs (if needed) before the transfer.
The Poweo ® 150 must NEVER be used to transfer, lift or transport people over slopes.
Just like all patient lifters, the Poweo ® 150 is not a transport device. It must be used only for short
distance transfers and is not intended to replace wheelchairs or other types of transport.
LIFTING AND TRANSFER
Position the patient as low as possible (if possible while
putting the foot on the chassis) during the transfer, so as to
lower the centre of gravity and ensure maximum stability.
Use the lifter carefully so as to minimise swinging,
especially if the lifter and patient are close to furniture.
