First of all we want to thank you for putting your trust in us by selecting one of our products. The Vermeiren patient hoists are the result of many years of research and experience. During the development, special attention was given to the ease of use and the serviceability of the patient hoist.
When used on mats, carpeted floors or loose floor coverings, the floor covering can get damaged. Use only Vermeiren approved accessories. Make sure that the end of the adjustment motor has a safety measurement. Therefore, use the patient hoist only in the middle of the adjustment range and not at the end of the hoist motor.
