The Maxi Twin Compact lift is a floor based sling lift.

The lift is intended to be used for lifting and transfers in
hospitals, nursing homes, private homes and in home
care of residents. The equipment is intended for indoor
use, with the exception of transfers to and from a car,
during which the Maxi Twin Compact may be used for
short outdoor distances on hard surfaces (such as
driveways, streets or garage floors). The outdoor
surface should be relatively flat, dry and free of debris,
rocks, etc.

The Maxi Twin Compact lift is intended to be used
for residents who:

• sit in a wheelchair

• have no capacity to support themselves

• cannot stand unsupported and are not able to bear
weight, not even partially

• are dependent on the caregiver in most situations

or, for a resident who:

• is passive

• might be almost and/or completely bedridden

• is often stiff or have contracted joints

• is totally dependent on the caregiver

The transfer with the Maxi Twin Compact lift takes
place indoors in the resident’s room, common areas or
in bathrooms. Patient insertions and extractions into and
from cars may include outdoor transfers under certain
conditions.

Resident Assessment

We recommend that facilities establish regular
assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each
resident according to the following criteria prior to use:

• The residents weight must not exceed 160 kg,
(350 lbs).

• The product should not be used for residents who
suffer from uncontrollable head movements.

If the resident does not meet these criteria an alternative
equipment/system shall be used.

Indication for Use

A non-AC-powered patient lift is a hydraulic, battery, or
mechanically powered device, either fixed or mobile,
used to lift and transport a patient in the horizontal or
other required position from one place to another, as
from a bed to a bath. The device includes straps and a
sling to support the patient.

Installation and Service Requirements

The expected lifetime of this equipment, unless
otherwise stated, is ten (10) years, subject to preventive
maintenance being carried out in accordance with the
instructions for care and maintenance found in the
Instructions for Use (IFU).

Depending on level of wear some equipment parts such
as castors and hand control may need to be replaced
during the equipment life time according to information
in the Instructions for use (IFU).

The Maxi Twin Compact lift is only to be used with
Arjo-supplied slings that are designed to be used with
the Maxi Twin Compact lift.

The Maxi Twin Compact lift should only be used for the
purpose specified in the Instructions for Use (IFU).
Any other use is prohibited.

Straight Leg Attachment

For most residents, it is recommended to use the straight
attachment of the leg clips. (See Fig. 1)

Attach the leg clips to the lugs so that the leg straps are positioned
vertically.

Crossed Leg Attachment

If the resident is prone to kicking, the crossed leg attachment of
the clips must be applied. This prohibits the leg clips from
detachment due to kicking and prevents the resident from possible
injury. (See Fig. 2)

Cross the leg straps of the sling and attach the clips to the lugs.

17

Transferring the Resident

Before the Resident is Transferred onto the
Maxi Twin Compact lift, make sure that:

• the battery pack is fully charged before use (for charging,
see Battery IFU) and remove it from the charger unit and

accomplish this you may have to put the resident’s feet on,
or over the chassis. (See Fig. 2).

3

WARNING

To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the
residents hair, arms and feet close to the body
and use designated grab supports during any
movement.

NOTE
Do not apply the castor brakes at this stage, as the
position of the resident will adjust to his/her own
centre of gravity when lifted.

With the Maxi Twin Compact lift in position, first attach the
shoulder clips to the lugs on the spreader bar and then attach
the leg clips). (See Fig. 3)

4 Lower the spreader bar using the hand control, be careful

not to lower it onto the resident. If the spreader bar is

To Lift from a Bed (10 Steps)

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Before lifting a person from a bed, make sure there is sufficient
clearance underneath to accommodate the Maxi Twin Compact lift
chassis legs.

It is possible via the hand control to adjust chassis leg widths to
assist manoeuvrability around obstructions, for example, bed legs.

1

NOTE

When rolling the resident back onto the sling, roll
the resident slightly in the opposite direction so that
the folded part of the sling can be brought out.

Position the resident onto the sling by rolling the resident
towards you then folding the sling in half and placing it
behind the resident’s back. This is also called the log roll
method. (See Fig. 1)

2 Position the sling carefully so that when rolled back, the

resident is centred on the sling and check that the head
support area of the sling covers the resident’s neck.

(See Fig. 2)

Alternatively, the resident can be brought into a sitting
position then place the sling as detailed in the section “To
Lift From A Chair”.

3

WARNING

To avoid injury to the resident, pay close
attention when lowering or adjusting the
spreader bar.

Approach the bed with the open side of the spreader bar
towards the resident’s head. (See Fig. 3)

4 Position the Maxi Twin Compact lift so that the spreader bar

is just above, and centred over the resident. (See Fig. 3)

5 If possible, slightly raise the head part of the bed to make the

fastening of attachment clips easier. (See Fig. 3)

6 Tilt the spreader bar until the shoulder attachment points

can be connected to the sling shoulder clips. (See Fig. 3)

feet are a safe distance from floor. (See Fig. 6)

9 Release the brakes. (See Fig. 6)

24

Transfer Resident from Car

Fig. 1

This procedure needs two caregivers to monitor both sides of
the resident.

WARNING

To avoid accidents, as cars come in many shapes
and sizes, a caregiver assessment should be
completed to ensure the resident can safely reach
their destination (to or from the car) with the lift.

Make sure there is ample access for the resident in
order to correctly apply the sling. Also make sure
there is sufficient door opening and car roof
clearance in order to manoeuver the lift and avoid
situations where there isn’t sufficient space

WARNING

To avoid accidents, the Maxi Twin Compact should
only be used for short distances on hard surfaces
(such as driveways, streets or garage floors). The
outdoor surface should be relatively flat, dry and
free of debris, rocks, etc.

WARNING

Do not perform resident transfers with the Maxi
Twin Compact when car is next to a street
pavement’s edge.

WARNING

Avoid using the Maxi Twin Compact in rain or snow
conditions, unless the transfer area is under cover
and protected from the weather.

1 Unfasten resident’s seatbelt.

2 Place the sling around the resident so that the base of the

sling sits about one inch (2-3 cm) below the tail bone.

3 Ensure that the head support area of the sling is behind the

head, covering it so that the head stays in place.

4 Pull each leg strap under the thigh so that it comes out on the

inside of the thigh. (See Fig. 1)

25

5 Approach the resident with the lift, ensuring that:

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

• The car door is fully open.

• The lift boom has space from the car door frame.

• The spreader bar is facing the resident, with the wide part
at or just below shoulder level. It should be close enough
to be able to connect the leg strap clips of the sling to the
frame. (See Fig. 2)

• The lift’s brakes are applied.

6 Connect the leg strap clips, then tilt the frame and attach the

shoulder straps. Make sure that all the clips are securely
connected.

WARNING

To avoid the resident falling, make sure that sling
clips are securely attached before as well as during
the lifting of the resident.

7 Raise the resident using the hand control, positioning them

comfortably into a semi-reclined position for the transfer.
Resident should not be lifted above the caregiver’s eye
level.

NOTE: It is recommended to perform a resident transfer
from a car’s front passenger seat.

8 Turn the resident to face the caregiver and make sure
