Invacare Robin Ceiling Hoist

"Hoisting without confrontation"

General - Technical - Rail System

The unique design of the Robin Ceiling Hoist, from Invacare, means that there is no metal spreader bar to attach a sling to. This removes the confrontational aspect that a user may experience, from the spreader bar, during the hoisting process.

A strap at each end of the hoist motor provides the connection point to a loop type sling and then the straps raise and lower the user in a safe, controlled manner.

Controlled via an electric handset the Robin ceiling hoist is easy to operate and includes the following features:-

The two strap design gives unsurpassed stability and comfort during the transfer and improved client and carer contact.
Smooth soft stop start feature. improves the positioning experience
Charge hoist through handset when not in use.
Hoist removes easily from rail if required in other room.
Emergency stop/lower function.
Ease of movement along the rail
Advanced rail system for complex building requirements and ease of installation.

The Robin hoist weighs just 7 KG but delivers a Safe working load of 200Kg (31.5 Stone).
