In facilities where more than one operator will be responsible for using the Transfer Aid, it is imperative that all such 

members be trained on the TA400 prior to use. A training program should be established by the facility to acquaint new 

operators with this equipment. 

 

 

Your guarantee is void if persons unauthorised by Mackworth perform work on the Transfer Aid. 

 

 

To maintain optimum function, the TA400 should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. See section ‘General 

Inspection, Maintenance and Cleaning’ within this user manual. 

 

 

The TA400 and the safety belts are intended only for transferring of a person. Mackworth

 

will not be responsible for 

any damage caused by the misuse, neglect or purposeful destruction of the Unit, and/or its associated components. 

 

 

In areas where children are prone to be present, be vigilant when carrying out a transfer.  

 

 

Any accessories used with the TA400 including safety belt, should be checked to ensure that they are in good working 

order. Check for signs of wear to each component prior to use. Report any unusual wear to your local authorised 

dealer. 

 

 

The TA400 and its associated parts are certified to a maximum load of 180kg (400 lb). Do not exceed the maximum 

rated load of any of the components. 

 

 

Ensure that a clear space is maintained around the Transfer Aid. Before performing a transfer check for and move all 

obstacles out of the way. 

 

 

Protecting the people present, visually monitor the clipped connection points during transfer stages, so the belt 

remains firmly attached to the connection pins. 

 

 

To reduce the risk of unintended use, when the TA400 is not in use, remove the Belt from the product to prevent 

entrapment or strangulation should the device be tampered with. 

 

 

Between Transfer Aid and Belt, the lowest maximum load shall always be used. 

 

You may need to seek specialist advice on how to assist some people with specific moving and handling needs. 

Sources of advice include, but is not limited to, professional bodies and organisations, occupational therapist, 

physiotherapists, manual handling advisers and ergonomist with experience in health and social care.

Warning Notes 

Your TA400 has been manufactured and tested to exceed BS EN 12182:2012. This does not mean that it can be used 

without care. ALL OPERATORS should have read the operating instructions and appreciate this warning section. 

 

1.

 

ALL TA400 are less stable on sloping surfaces. A 5-degree slope is the maximum permitted. 

2.

 

ALL TA400 are dangerous to the person being transferred when used recklessly or pushed at speed. 

3.

 

ALL TA400 are less stable when the load is moving. 

1.8

 

Operating Environment 

The TA400 is intended for use within the professional health care facility environment as well as the home health care 

environment. The Transfer Aid is not suitable for any other environment or special environments. 

 

The Transfer Aid is not intended to be used in environments where there are rapid changes in the environmental temperature 

and humidity during intended use.
