The WINN'MOTION 175 lifts and lowers people in care homes and home care settings, and only trained personnel operate it. Its primary argument is the compact frame. The hoist weighs 36 kg and disassembles into two parts, making it easy to move and store.
The lifting range reaches a person on the floor, and the maximum load is 175 kg. A padded spreader bar with four suspension points and a non-return system rotates 360°, and the listed slings are Bath, Fletty, and 3D Comfort, with or without head support, in sizes M and L. Only Winncare slings and accessories are used, and worn or frayed slings are not used.
A handset with up and down buttons controls movement; it continues while a button is held and stops on release. A control box carries an emergency stop that disconnects the battery from the motor. Electric emergency lowering is available, an obstacle stop halts the descent, and the anti-collapse jack can be released by hand with a rotary knob.
Pedal-adjustable feet widen the base. The front twin-wheel castors measure 75 mm, the rear castors measure 100 mm and include brakes, and castors with brakes are optional. Two 12 V sealed lead-acid batteries provide about 40 cycles, and a full charge takes 8 to 10 hours, with an audible signal during charging. Annual inspection follows a checklist; batteries are replaced about every four years, and units not in use are recharged at least every three months. It is a non-critical medical device that requires low-level disinfection and operates at 5 to 40 °C.
