Intended Use
A Sling Cross-bar is used as an aid in carrying out lifts but does not come into contact with the patient. It is intended for use in healthcare environments, including Health care, Intensive care, Emergency ward, Rehabilitation, Habilitation, and Home healthcare environments.
In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the patient, and the person helping them is referred to as the caregiver.
IMPORTANT!
Lifting and transferring a patient always involves a certain level of risk. Read the instructions for use for both the patient lift and lifting accessories before use. It is important to completely understand the contents of the instructions for use. The equipment should only be used by a trained caregiver. To be trained, a caregiver needs to read and understand the Instructions for Use. Ensure that the lifting accessories are suitable for the lift used. Exercise care and caution during use. As a caregiver, you are always responsible for the patient's safety. You must be aware of the patient's ability to make it through the lifting situation. If something is unclear, contact the manufacturer or supplier.
Safety Information
CrossBar can be used with Liko slings that attach to the sling bar using sling loops. CrossBar can be used with Liko slings designed for four connection points on the sling bar.
For more information on how to select a sling, read the sling's instructions for use. The sling's instructions for use will have information for using Liko sling bars with Liko slings.
Note! Always read the instruction for use that comes with different sling models from Liko for correct and safe use of the sling.
- Before the patient is lifted from the underlying surface, but when the sling's straps are fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling bar hooks.
- For safety reasons, all the sling bar hooks must carry the load together when lifting!
- Using lifting accessories other than those approved can entail a risk.
- Incorrect attachment of sling to sling bar may cause severe injury to the patient.

Maximum Load
Maximum load: 300 kg (660 lbs)
Each part on an assembled lift system has a unique maximum load rating. The parts of an assembled lift system include the rail, lift, sling bar, sling, and any other items. For each individual part, the maximum load includes the weight of everything attached to that part, including the patient.
The maximum load rating is not the maximum patient weight. The maximum patient weight varies with the weight of all parts of the assembled lift system.
The maximum load rating of an assembled lift system is always the lowest rating of any single part. For example: A Sling bar has a maximum load of 300 kg (660 lbs.) is attached to an overhead lift with a maximum load of 200 kg (440 lbs.). The maximum load of 200 kg (440 lbs.) applies to the assembled lift system.
Check the maximum load on the lift and all lifting accessories or contact your Hillrom representative if you have any questions.
