General The hoist was reasonably easy to use. The sling was supportive with a good upright position.
Using it The bar to which the sling was hooked was close to your face which restricted head movement.
Helpers Helpers needed some dexterity and strength. The hoist’s arm was very stiff to pull in and out with someone in the sling.
