Oxford Voyager Portable
The Oxford Voyager Portable overhead hoist is among the lightest available on the market today. With an easy-to-grip, foldaway handle, you can easily and conveniently carry the unit to alternative locations. Although lightweight, this hoist can accommodate user weights as high as 200kg/440lbs/31st and with its ability to be used in combination with a choice of portable tracking systems, the Oxford Voyager Portable has an array of applications.
Patient Comfort
For both safety and comfort, a soft-start stop ensures no sudden movements during lifting occur which may otherwise be disconcerting for the patient.
Emergency Situations
An emergency stop and mechanical lower feature, along with tape twist prevention, ensures an alternate method of lowering a patient in the event of a safety critical situation such as an unlikely electronic failure.
Operational & Available At All Times
It’s essential that in care environments, a lift can be operated and made available at all times. This product can do just that. It has two sets of on-board controls either side of the lift motor as well as the hand control pendant, ensuring there is always a backup control in place to ensure transfers continue safely. A low battery indicator alerts the user for the need to charge the battery to help ensure the lift remains operational at all times of need.
The Oxford Voyager Portable, alongside the Easytrack system is the perfect portable overhead lifting package. With such a wide variety of applications, it is suitable for the home, hospital, and care home environments. Whether it’s a short-term solution, a lack of space, or for emergency use, this tried and trusted solution is an excellent choice. For full specifications, you can read the brochure.
Easy Track Systems
The Easytrack systems are unique temporary/semi-permanent overhead tracking systems designed for use with the Oxford Voyager Portable hoist. Both the Easytrack and the Easytrack FS are easy to assemble in a matter of minutes, requiring no permanent fixings or structural alterations. This functionality ensures this suite of products is ideal for clients residing in rental accommodation, where there is no permit for structural changes. They are easy to transport and store away and have a safe working load of 200kg/440lbs/31st to match the Voyager Portable lift motor.
The Easytrack FS (Free Standing) is an overhead gantry track system that does not rely on support or bracing from a ceiling. As a result, any potential structural concerns or false ceilings are not preventative to use.
An extending top rail ensures a transfer span of almost 3m is possible, comfortably supporting bed to chair or bed to commode transfers within a room. The spring-loaded, upright posts can also be extended. Helping to improve obstacle and furniture clearance and support transfers on to a variety of surface types and heights.
A further benefit of the voyager lift system and a direct result of its simple and intuitive design, is that installers do not require the complex knowledge that is necessary to specify and install fixed lift systems.
