Unihoist Electric bath hoist with transporter hoist end arm

The electric Unihoist Transporter bath hoist is a fixed floor hoist finished in a sturdy, hard-wearing white nylon coating. This hoist also features a demountable seat frame, so the seat can be detached from the hoist and used to move patients from wherever they are to the bathroom quickly and safely.
