NEED A MOBILITY HOIST

Post new topic

Dority

Does anybody know where I can hire equipment for an invalid in a wheelchair. I need to either buy or hire a mobile hoist or winch to lift the person off the bed into a wheelchair without breaking my back. I’m in Jomtien Beach Pattaya.
If you know where I can find one please contact me.

Perhaps contact the Pattaya Orphanage as they have kids with disabilities and my know of where you can hire or buy the lift. Maybe also try the hospitals and expat clinics in the area for information.

Thank you and I will check it out. I was thinking to order one from China but not sure about their custom laws here.

Fascino pharmacy on Pattaya Nua road( between crossing 3rd road and dolfins roundabout) road has all the material for desabled people. They also can do a special order if needed.

I was there and they don’t know anything about a hoist.

amazing because I think I have seen at least one in the show area last time I got there (3 weeks ago). Maybe they did not understand the word "hoist" while very few staff speaks a bit of english there. Anyway if you're sure they don't have sorry cannot help better. Concerning importing, good luck with Laem Chabang customs if you don't speak Thai and never imported anything of value here.......

I showed the girls a picture, they even looked into their supply book and said they don’t do these products. I am sure that maybe in another store they may have one but I cannot go from store to store. I will have another look and maybe ring them before I go. Thank you very much for your help and I am very grateful.

I contacted good care but no electric hoist. A hospital bed though costs 3500 baht per month and 15000 baht deposit

Dority

I called but they don’t have a hoist.

Best to ask for recommendations from a hospital. But please keep us posted in case you've already found one. Our members might find it useful. Thanks!
