Haycomp - made in Australia
For over 17 years Haycomp staff have designed and manufactured high quality patient lifting hoists for use in hospitals and other care institutions.
Because of our expertise in mechanical patient handling, Qantas asked Haycomp to design a hoist to eliminate the difficult and sometimes dangerous task of manual handling passengers.
The Eagle hoists were developed and proved successful in providing a safe and efficient way of transferring specials needs passengers PRM's (Passengers with Reduced Mobility) from a wheelchair to their aircraft seat.
The hoists provide a significant advance in accessible air travel for passengers requiring a fully supported transfer.
The Eagles are highly regarded by both staff and passengers.
