Launching New and Innovative Moving and Handling Equipment

Promove UK Ltd will be launching a pioneering solution to moving and handling needs at this year’s Emergency Services Show.

The sling, called Promove, is designed for moving and handling incapacitated or disabled (including bariatric) individuals in confined spaces. Promove was designed by a disabled person with input from moving and handling specialists in Fire and Rescue, Ambulance and Nursing.

Promove allows an individual to be moved without being manhandled and with the least risk to the operator where a traditional hoist and sling cannot be used.

Promove is easily placed beneath an incapacitated person whether on the ground, seated in a chair or stuck in a tight corner. It provides good support, forming a bucket shaped seat, giving a sense of security for sliding or lifting.

With the use of strategically placed grasping handles to the front and rear, moving and handling immediately becomes controlled as Dr Huw Thomas, creator of Promove explains. “The innovative design of the handles allows the sling to be used by two to four operatives, making moving individuals in tricky situations an easier and safer task”. The bariatric model requires a minimum of four operatives, distributing the load between as many individuals as possible.

The Promove will be exhibited on Stand: 166.
