Use

The transfer platform is designed to transfer from a sitting position only. Before using the transfer platform, we strongly recommend that a full risk assessment is carried out by a qualified person to ensure the user capability, the correct belts are used and the environment is suitable. Anyone using the transfer platform should be fully trained in its use. Before every transfer with the GTP1, we strongly recommend you carry out a quick assessment of the user’s capability. Working with the transfer platform Always maintain a good working posture when applying the belt or working with the transfer platform. When moving a person use handle and walk with the transfer platform keeping the load as close as possible to your body. Never pull or twist at arm’s length, this can cause injury to the helper. Also, follow the guidance labels on the tubes. Quick Assessment With the user in a seated position in chair / wheelchair / edge of bed – ask the user to push down through his/her knees (feet must be placed flat on the floor) – upon inspection the helper should see the user’s quads tighten. This indicates strength to assist with the standing procedure, it also confirms communication skills. For testing the user’s strength in the arms - ask the user to reach their hands to you and ask to clench your fists/hands. The helper should feel the user tighten the hands.

How to prevent/avoid corrosion The transfer platform should not be stored/remain in damp surroundings for long periods of time. Water vapor might liquefy into water on transfer platform, thus causing corrosion/rust in bearings as well as in the tubular steel frame. In swimming baths and bathrooms where strong gasses may be present, the transfer platform is particularly exposed to corrosion and should always be removed from such places after use. 8.00
