Oxford Calibre Bariatric Mobile Hoist

Why care homes use this

Care homes specify a dedicated bariatric hoist such as the Oxford Calibre when resident weight exceeds the safe working load of the standard mobile hoist already on the platform (the Oxford Presence, 200kg SWL) -- using a standard-rated hoist beyond its SWL is a serious safety and LOLER compliance failure, not a marginal risk.
