Pool Lifts for Retirement Village

Dolphin work with retirement villages across the country by providing access solutions and advice. We supplied and installed an i-Swim2 pool lift for this village near Romsey to help their residents get into this stunning pool.

The i-Swim 2 is an Italian designed portable hoist which can be operated independently or by a lifeguard or attendant. It is supplied with a 4 button handset which quietly and smoothly lifts, lowers and turns the chair.

To learn more about this and other pool access solutuion visit our guide to pool lifts.

Robin XY Ceiling Hoist

By Hoists No Comments

We have been supplying and installing the Robin ceiling hoist for some time now. It has proved popular with a lot of OT’s that we work with.

The Robin utilises unique dual strap technology. This means they don’t need a spreader bar. Consequently the client and carer can be sure that eye contact is kept at all times. The strap system also allow the carer to attach the sling with a minimum of effort.

We have recently added the Ergolet Luna to our product portfolio. Luna Ceiling Hoists combine good looks with exceptional functionality. Their wall fixed horizontal E track helps us to fit a hoist where other conventional ceiling brackets or wall posts won’t work.

Luna Hoist Side Mounted Wall Tracks

The same unit can be used as a fixed or portable ceiling hoist. This makes it a cost effective option for care facilities. As a result one lift can cover a wide range of lifting requirements. For more information on the Luna and other overhead hoists call us today on 01276 856060.

PAL 2 Pool Hoist Wheelchair Transfer

PAL2 Pool Lift Added to Portfolio

By Pool Lifts No Comments

We have added the PAL 2 Pool Lift to our line up of pool hoists. This is the updated version of the PAL pool lift. It is completely portable and no fixings to the deck are required. Cost savings have been made by using concrete counterwieghts as opposed to cast iron. The body of the lift is also longer than the original PAL.

All of the other major components are the same as the PAL, however the new design prevents the arms of the lift from being configured to work with more unusual pool layouts. So if you have an upstand or particularly low waterline then you will have to use the original PAL.
