Models
Chorus
The Chorus enables a single assistant to raise a person to a standing position, transfer the person and help with dressing and toileting safely and with the minimum of effort. Good manoeuvrability is provided by the use of lightweight aluminium construction, low resistance castors and the low design.

Encore
. In addition to the above features, this hoist utilises the Comfort Circle with an Arc-Rest which includes arm rests and hand grips which give the user who is weaker a feeling of greater security as it provides upper body support during the lift.
. The sling positioned around the personīs lower back is adjustable to allow standing from deep chairs.
. The First-Step system allows the removal of the footplate and later, the Proactive Pad (knee pad) to allow balance, stepping and walking practice to be performed. The geometry of the lift and the combination of the Arc-Rest and Proactive Pad allow a more natural extension pattern of the body during standing.
