Moving & Handling

DDC moving and handling equipment is designed to make safe patient transfers simple, efficient, and comfortable across care homes, hospitals, and community care settings. Our range of mobile hoists, stand assist hoists, and overhead hoists supports both passive and active transfers, helping staff reduce strain while ensuring service users’ dignity.

Mobile hoists provide smooth lifting and lowering with long booms, ergonomic pedals, and compact frames that easily manoeuvre in tight spaces or store under beds. Stand assist hoists encourage user engagement with adjustable arm and leg supports, ergonomic grips, and robust footplates supporting up to 150kg. Overhead hoists offer versatile, space-saving solutions for single-handed transfers across multiple rooms, improving workflow efficiency and freeing up valuable floor space.

All DDC hoists are EN ISO 10535 certified, meeting international safety standards and giving care teams confidence when performing transfers. Using our hoists helps reduce the risk of injury, improves patient mobility, and provides a safer, more comfortable care environment for service users.

Whether you need compact, ergonomic hoists for small care settings or high-capacity overhead systems for larger facilities, DDC has a solution to improve daily care routines while keeping transfers safe, efficient, and dignified.
