Dolphin are approved suppliers of several hoist manufacturers products including BHM Medical, Oxford Hoists, Prism Medical, Chiltern Invadex, Handimove, Atlas Hoists and Joerns Healthcare.
Ceiling Hoists
Ceiling hoists are overhead hoists which are normally fixed to the ceiling but can also be wall mounted.
Overhead tracking is permanently installed and the hoist motor traverses along this track. Straight and curved sections of rail are available along with a host of other options such as turntables, XY systems or H frames, exchangers and gates with which to connect tracking between rooms.

Gantry Hoists
Gantry hoists are similar to ceiling hoists, the hoist motor traverses along an overhead rail, but rather than being fixed to the ceiling they can be semi portable or completely free standing.
A freestanding gantry hoist has the appearance of a football goal. There are two upright posts and a crossbar.
Semi-portable hoist systems work in a similar fashion but with the uprights extending from the floor to the ceiling.
Wall Lift Hoists
Wall hoists feature a telescopic arm which folds flat to the wall when not in use. They are typically used when space constraits rule out alternative hoisting sytems.
Mobile Hoists and Floor Hoists
Dolphin supply many types of mobile hoist depending on the users lifting requirements. Some versions fold down or can be easily taken apart in order to transport the hoist between locations.
They can be difficult to move around the room, so they're fine to use on hard floors or thin carpet but they're not appropriate for use on a deeper pile.
Standing Hoists
As the name suggests, standing hoists have been developed to allow a person to be transferred in a standing position.
