Foot control for hoistTo adapt the controls on a mobile hoist so that they can be operated by the foot leaving the carer with both hands free to manoeuvre his wife.

A mounting block was constructed into which the hand controller could be fitted at the base of the hoist. A swinging foot pedal carrying a light spring bears on each of the pair of control buttons allowing the hoist to be operated ‘hands free’.
