Common questions
Slings: your questions answered
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about slings.
What is a sling used for?
A sling is used together with a hoist to support a person safely during a transfer, such as moving from a bed to a chair, by distributing their weight securely while the hoist does the lifting.
How do I know which sling type and size I need?
Sling type and size should be determined by an occupational therapist or other qualified healthcare professional, based on a proper moving and handling assessment. This takes into account the person's height, weight, shape, mobility and the specific transfer being carried out, so it isn't something to choose without that guidance.
Will any sling work with any hoist?
No, slings and hoists aren't all interchangeable. Attachment loops or clips need to match between the sling and the hoist, so it's essential to check compatibility with your specific hoist model before use. If you're unsure, ask your supplier or the professional who carried out your assessment.
How often should slings be inspected or replaced?
Slings should be checked before every use for signs of wear, fraying, or damage to the fabric, stitching or loops, as they're safety-critical equipment. If you notice any damage, take the sling out of use immediately and replace it, following the manufacturer's guidance on inspection and replacement.
Am I eligible for VAT relief on slings?
If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on eligible slings. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration at checkout, with the VAT removed at the point of sale.
