Bariatric Lifting Systems

The Bravo Twin Cassette Bariatric Lifting System from ARJO is designed to lift and transfer patients weighing up to 900 lbs. The system provides greater resident comfort by using two lifting cassettes in tandem. The resident can be semireclined and rotated to a fully upright seated position using the battery-powered hand control. A wide range of sling sizes and designs is available. A bariatric resident can be weighed with the optional scale attachment.

ARJO also offers the TENOR Mobile Floor Lifter. With a safe working load of 704 lbs, it is a safe, dignified lift for heavier patients and is safe and easy for staff to handle and maneuver. The lift’s large casters and aluminum frame make it lightweight but sturdy. Electronic chassis legs for opening and closing provide maneuverability around wide chairs and in tight spots. There are no wires or cables to get in the way. The TENOR is available with a scale, and a variety of bariatric slings can be used with the TENOR.

Suspended Tables

T-fabco Corporation’s T-fab Suspended Tables can convert a dining room to a multipurpose room with the flick of a switch. To set up for dining, lower as many suspended tables as needed from their stored position under the ceiling. When the meal is over, switch the tables back to the stored position.

Because T-fab tables have no legs, residents in wheelchairs have easy access to the table. T-fab Suspended Tables are available with 60″-diameter, plastic-laminated tops for seating up to eight people.

Tabletops and undersides can be wood grain, marbleized, or solid colors to match existing interiors.
