Hoist Slings

Hoist slings support a person's body during a lift, so choosing the right type and size matters as much as the hoist itself. Shop general purpose, hygiene and toileting, standing, walking, mesh, low-friction, amputee, junior and bariatric slings from Allegro, Arjo, Oxford and Regent, in loop and clip styles, with or without head support.

Types of hoist slings

How to choose a sling

  • Match the hoist: check whether your hoist's spreader bar takes loop or clip slings, and how many attachment points it has.
  • Size: slings come in sizes from small to extra large. Use the manufacturer's sizing chart; a sling that is too big or too small is unsafe.
  • Head support: choose a high-back sling with head support if the person has limited head or trunk control.
  • Task: general purpose for everyday transfers, hygiene for toileting, mesh for bathing, standing slings for stand-aids.
  • Safe working load: make sure the sling, hoist and spreader bar are all rated for the person's weight.
  • Care: check labels and stitching regularly, follow washing instructions and replace worn slings.

An occupational therapist or physiotherapist should assess for the right sling and size. NovitaTech is an NDIS registered provider: slings are often funded through the NDIS or aged care (Support at Home), and self-managed and plan-managed participants can choose Pay using NDIS Funds at checkout.
