SoloVest
Three sizes of the SoloVest are available, to fit a range of clients.
All SoloVests are rated at 350 lbs (160 kg).
CAUTIOn:
The SoloVest is too big for the client if the pads overlap too
far and the straps cannot be tightened.
WARnIng:
A risk assessment must be conducted to ensure the correct
size SoloVest is selected and is appropriate for each client being lifted.
WARnIng:
Do not attempt transfer if the SoloVest slides up on the client
during lifting. Sliding up is an indication that the SoloVest may be too big
or the straps too loose, or that the product is unsuitable for that client.
The SoloVest should be positioned on the
client with the vest pads underneath the
arms and overlapping in the front.
SoloVest correct size: Pads overlap and
straps can be tightened (See Figure 1).
