Pelican Pool & Spa Hoist Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Pelican Pool Hoist suitable for?
It is suitable for people who require supported transfers for pool or spa access, including those with disability, limited mobility, injury or higher support needs.
Can the Pelican Pool Hoist be used for both pools and spas?

Our Pelican Pool Hoists have been used for pools (commercial and residential), spas and hydrotherapy environments as well as natural water environments where solid platforms are available for compliant installation.
Previous installation sites have included public and residential pools and spas, leisure centres, hotels, schools, aged care centres and theme parks.

What seating or transfer options are available?

Is the Pelican Pool Hoist mobile or fixed?
A Pelican Pool Hoist may be installed as a fixed system or configured for mobile, multi-location use based on site-appropriate positioning.
Many aquatic centres have mobile systems for ease of use in multiple locations. This allows them to cater to customer demands which increases accessibility across their entire venue and multiple pools and spas.

This will minimise the potential build-up of corrosion or rust like symptoms such as tea staining. Our full maintenance guide is available here.

Being Australian made allows us to maintain strict quality control, ensure compliance with local standards, and design solutions specifically suited to Australian pools, conditions and accessibility requirements.
