Moving & Handling Equipment

At Care Shop, we sell a huge range of moving and handling equipment ideal for use in care homes including wheelchairs, hoists and specialist bath hoists. If your care home residents struggle to get around independently or with assistance, you may be looking for a durable, reliable wheelchair. We sell a wide range including self-propelled and transit wheelchairs and wheelchair ramps. Many wheelchairs that we stock have detachable armrests and footrests for easy transportation and storage and also have adjustable leg rests for extra comfort.

When it comes to patient lifting, our range of patient hoists is second to none. Hoists provide a safe way of lifting or moving a resident with limited mobility without putting unnecessary strain on the person being moved or the carer. We are authorised sellers of Oxford Hoists, including the Oxford Advance Hoist, electric and hydraulic Oxford Midi Hoists and Oxford Mini Hoists. We also sell Oxford Mermaid Bath Hoists to help residents when bathing. If you have any questions about our hoists just give us a call and one of our expert advisors will be on hand to help.

Our range of slings has been specifically chosen to suit a wide range of uses in care homes, hospitals and clinics. Our Oxford Slings have been designed for use with Oxford Hoists, and are specially designed to relieve pressure and encourage postural support. We offer slings to help with quick lifting, toilet access, standing and more. For more guidance, read our blog post on Using Lifts and Slings to Safely Move Care Home Residents.
