Hoist Training

A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium. It should be operated only by trained people. 

We provide theory and practical training in procedures for moving and handling people using hoists.   We also teach them about the different types of hoists and slings available and the principles of safe moving and handling when using them.
