Our Method

A Flexible, Alternative Solution for Bariatric Hoisting

The AirRise Dual hoist unit is designed for complex transfers where a single hoist unit may not provide sufficient control, comfort, or positioning flexibility. By operating two hoist units in conjunction with one another, the system enables lifting from a larger surface area, improving comfort and stability - particularly for bariatric and plus-sized users.

Both units are controlled via a single handset, while also allowing independent adjustment at each end of the body. This makes the AirRise Dual ideal for gradual repositioning, sit-to-stand transfers, and situations where precise control is required to support dignity, safety, and clinical outcomes. As a general guideline, dual hoist systems are recommended for users above 350 kg.
