    Customer Reviews

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A Lifesaver for Home Care”

    “We bought the SLK Carry 185 for my father who has limited mobility after a stroke. It’s been a game-changer. Easy to use, very smooth lifting, and folds away neatly when not in use. Highly recommend!” – Linda M., Liverpool

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Professional Quality at a Great Price”

    “As a care home manager, I’ve used many hoists over the years. The SLK Carry 185 stands out for its build quality and ease of use. The soft-start feature is brilliant for our more sensitive residents.” – James T., Manchester

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Quiet and Reliable”

    “We use this hoist in a small clinic setting. It’s quiet, which is great for our patients, and the battery lasts ages. Only wish it came with a sling included.” – Dr. A. Patel, Ormskirk

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Compact and Powerful”

    “I was surprised at how powerful this hoist is for its size. It handles my husband’s weight with no issues and is easy for me to operate alone. The foldable design is a huge plus.” – Sarah B., Preston

    Product FAQs

    1. What is the maximum user weight capacity of the SLK Carry 185 Hoist?
    The hoist has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 185 kg (29 stone), making it suitable for a wide range of individuals requiring transfer assistance in home or clinical settings.
    2. Does the hoist require tools to assemble or fold?
    No. The SLK Carry 185 features a completely tool-free folding mechanism. It can be quickly collapsed for space-saving storage or transport in a vehicle boot without needing specialist tools.
    3. What is the difference between manual and electric leg spreading?
    Manual leg spreading uses a foot pedal or mechanical lever to adjust the chassis width. Electric leg spreading allows the caregiver to open and close the legs electronically via the hand controller, making it easier to position the hoist around wide armchairs, wheelchairs, or bed bases with minimal physical effort.
    4. Does the hoist come with a sling included?
    No. The standard package includes the SLK Carry 185 hoist unit, a 2-point spreader bar, and a control handset. Slings are sold separately so you can select the specific size, material, and type (e.g., universal, toileting, or padded) required for the user.
    5. How high and low can the hoist lift?
    The unit offers an extensive lift height range of 81 cm to 203 cm. This generous range allows carers to safely transfer users to high beds and mattresses, as well as perform floor-level lifts during fall recovery.
    6. What safety features are included in case of battery failure?
    The control box features both an emergency stopping system and an emergency lowering mechanism (including a manual CPR quick-release/lowering function) to ensure the user can always be safely lowered even if the battery runs out of power during operation.
