Winncare Solar® 185

Motorised Mast Lifting with Handset Control

The Solar 185 motor unit provides smooth, precise patient lifting and lowering via a motorised mast controlled by a simple handset. Lift height and positioning are managed by the operator throughout the transfer, supporting safe, controlled movement for patient and carer.

185kg Safe Working Load

With a 185kg rated safe working load, the Solar 185 accommodates standard and higher-weight patients across hospital, care home, and rehabilitation settings, supporting consistent safe passive transfer for the full patient weight range encountered in clinical and care practice.

Battery-Powered with Emergency Lowering

Rechargeable battery operation enables transfers without mains power connection. Integrated battery charge indication supports shift planning, and dedicated emergency lowering ensures safe patient descent in the event of battery depletion or power interruption.

Spreadable Wheeled Base

The Solar 185 wheeled base spreads to allow positioning beneath standard beds and chairs for sling placement before and during transfer. The manoeuvrability of the wheeled base supports use across multiple care rooms and clinical areas without fixed installation.

Standard Sling Compatibility via Spreader Bar

The spreader bar accommodates standard clinical slings across seated, supine, toileting, walking, and bathing patient transfer configurations, supporting integration with existing sling inventories across hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation units.

CE Certified Mobile Patient Handling Equipment

The Solar 185 carries CE marking in compliance with applicable medical device directives, confirming compliance for clinical and care use in regulated hospital, care home, and rehabilitation environments. Full documentation is available from Medigear.uk.

Hospital Wards and Acute Care Settings

Hospital wards manage a high volume of passive patient transfers daily, including patients who are entirely non-weight-bearing following surgery, acute neurological events, critical illness, or severe physical dependency. The Solar 185 supports safe bed-to-chair, chair-to-toilet, and floor lift transfers for these patients, reducing manual handling injury risk for nursing staff and maintaining consistent safe transfer technique across all ward operators. The 185kg safe working load and spreadable base accommodate the range of body habitus and room configurations encountered in acute hospital environments.

Care Homes and Residential Care Settings

Residential care facilities managing highly dependent residents with limited or absent lower limb function require reliable mobile hoist infrastructure for safe daily transfers across bedrooms, wet rooms, and communal areas. The Solar 185 provides a fully portable, battery-powered transfer solution that can be deployed across all care rooms without ceiling track installation. Its standard sling compatibility supports integration with existing sling inventories, and emergency lowering provides operational safety assurance for care staff across high-frequency daily transfer routines.

Rehabilitation and Post-Surgical Settings

Rehabilitation wards and post-surgical care environments manage patients through varied mobility stages, including periods of full non-weight-bearing where passive transfer with a mobile hoist is required. The Solar 185 provides reliable passive transfer during the non-weight-bearing phase, enabling safe lifting for lower limb orthopaedic rehabilitation, spinal injury management, and neurosurgical recovery without ceiling track infrastructure.

Floor Lift and Emergency Transfer

Floor lifts represent one of the highest manual handling risk situations in clinical and care settings. The Solar 185 supports floor lift transfers using supine and seated sling configurations, providing a safe mechanised solution that removes manual handling risk from carer-assisted floor recovery across hospital, care home, and community settings.

For Hospitals and Healthcare Procurement

The Solar 185 provides hospital wards, rehabilitation units, and healthcare procurement teams with a CE-certified motorised mobile hoist that supports full passive patient transfer without ceiling track installation. Its 185kg safe working load and portable wheeled design enable deployment across wards without infrastructure investment. CE certification and full compliance documentation satisfy hospital procurement and government tender requirements.
