FUNERAL

Our specialist range of funeral moving and handling equipment is designed to aid in the movement of bariatric individuals, making the recovery process quicker, easier and less distressing for those present.



Using a combination of disposable slide sheets, funeral stretchers and handling straps, plus-sized persons can be moved with dignity and respect from even confined or restricted spaces while reducing the risk of manual handling injuries to operatives.

As the number of plus-sized persons in the UK continues to rise, funeral directors are increasingly required to move bariatric individuals.

As experts in moving and handling equipment, at 3ET we manufacture and supply a range of products to make moving plus-sized persons easier, quicker and safer, maintaining the dignity of the deceased and minimising the distress to everyone involved.

 

Without the proper equipment moving a plus-sized individual can be a difficult and undignified process, frequently reliant on brute force. This can be distressing for family members and others present to witness and uncomfortable for those recovering the body, not to mention putting them at risk of serious manual handling injuries.

 

Our specially-designed funeral stretchers, handling straps and bariatric slings allow individuals weighing up to 400kg to be recovered discreetly and professionally from private dwellings, care homes and other locations with restricted access and egress. Even in restricted spaces or awkward positions, there is no need to pull excessively on the deceased or their clothing in order to move them.

 

Not only is this more respectful, it makes the recovery process quicker, easier and more professional. Fewer operatives are required so jobs can be managed without calling for third party support and using dedicated moving and handling equipment reduces the risk of injury to those moving the body.
