The Solar 185 transfers people between bed and chair, between chairs, and from chair to toilet in institutions and home care. Its primary argument is the base. The narrow chassis passes through a 700 mm door with the legs closed, then spreads electrically to a maximum of 920 mm, so one hoist covers both the doorway and a large chair or wheelchair.
The legs spread from the hand control, with one direction closing them and the other opening them. The curved legs provide a wide footprint, and the lifting arm gives the user room for a relaxed transfer. The hoist lifts from ground level, with a range of 1300 mm (680 to 1980 mm). The wheels have brakes, and the turning diameter is 1430 mm.
Spreader bars come as two-point or three-point, with or without a weigh scale, and they attach with a patented sling attachment. Slings need 2 to 5 lifting straps with hooks larger than 8 mm, and only Winncare Nordic or authorised slings are used. A daily check before use covers completeness, wear, up and down function, leg spreading, and the sling's condition.
The control box shows battery level, an active emergency stop, an overload held for 10 seconds and when service is needed. The emergency stop stops all functions; electronic lowering is fitted, and a red knob on the actuator lowers the arm manually. Surfaces are smooth, and cleaning uses a slightly damp cloth with household cleaner or household alcohol. An authorised person checks it annually, and the service LED prompts after 12 months or 8,000 lifting cycles. The duty cycle is a maximum of 10 per cent, with 2 minutes on and 18 minutes off.
