Description
The Savaria Rachel Harness is a navy mesh jacket for standing and sitting on a loop carry bar. Silvalea Ltd makes it. Savaria Patient Care lists it. Westin Healthcare quotes it and fits it in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.
This is the paediatric mesh jacket with detachable tapes. The Tinkham Sling is a fully supportive divided-leg transfer sling with head support. WalkingBelt is a small paediatric torso belt, not a lift sling. This page is the loop jacket harness. It does not use clip-bar studs or Human Care E-clips. If the carry bar is a Human Care mushroom fastener, see the Human Care Full Body Sling E-clip instead.
Who this sling is for
This harness is for a child, or a smaller person, who is standing and sitting with a caregiver and a loop lift. Savaria lists it in the paediatric range. Silvalea recommends some weight-bearing ability. It is designed to encourage confidence when standing and sitting. Confirm the plan with a clinician or our staff before first use.
- Standing and sitting support on a Handicare or Savaria loop carry bar
- Homes, schools, and care rooms that already use a loop-type spreader bar, including a coat-hanger four-point hoist
- A person who needs a mesh jacket they can wear for extended periods, rather than a full-support transfer sling
- Users inside 485 lb (220 kg), limited by the lowest rating among the lift, the bar, and the harness
What you get
You get one Savaria Rachel Harness in the size on the quote: the navy 100% polyester mesh jacket, the front zip, the clunk-click fastenings, the padded underarm rolls, the groin section, and the detachable tapes with adjustable sliders. A lift is sold separately.
The jacket closes at the front. Detachable tapes clip onto the jacket and hang on the carry bar. After a short raise, the caregiver can settle the person in sitting or standing and fine-tune the sliders. Silvalea also shows a prone position.
Sizing
Silvalea prints an A, B, C, and D chart for XXS through Extra Large. A is the chest measure. B is a seated vertical measure. C is the sling width at the shoulder tapes. D is the jacket body height. XXXS is listed as an orderable size. Ask us for that factory measure. Those figures are a guide. Confirm the size with a clinician or our staff before first use. A harness that is too large can let the person slip.

This listing is quote-only. There is no extra on any row. The harness on your quote is the article you pick.
Care and laundering
Close all hook-and-loop, clunk-click, and buckle fastenings before the harness goes in the washer. Wash at 85 C (185 F) with a non-biological detergent. Tumble dry on low heat, max 50 C. Do not iron. Follow the tag on the harness you receive. Inspect fabric, seams, zip, buckles, and tapes after every wash. Take the harness out of service if anything is worn or the label cannot be read.
Store it dry and clean with the fastenings closed so the mesh does not snag.
Delivery in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team can deliver this harness across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area, on its own or with a Handicare or Savaria lift setup. We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a harness first. For a scheduled drop-off or a fitting, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works.
This is a small carton. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods can apply when it ships without a lift. If it travels with a patient lift, the lift is oversized and White-Glove Delivery is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.
Attachment and compatible lifts
The Savaria Rachel Harness is a loop harness. Detachable tapes clip onto the jacket and seat on a loop-type spreader bar or carry bar, including the coat-hanger four-point hoist shown with this article. It does not use clip-bar studs and it does not use Human Care E-clips.
Silvalea files this article with its loop-fixing slings. On our floor those loop carry-bar hooks sit on the Handicare C450, the Handicare C625, the Handicare A450, the Handicare AP300 portable motor, the Savaria M-Series ceiling lift, and the two-point SlingBar on the Handicare Carina 350. Shop related styles in walking support slings.
The finished session is limited by the lowest rating among the lift, the bar, and the harness. A Carina 350 stays inside 350 lb even though this harness is 485 lb. A 450 lb motor is the limit on a C450 or A450. Confirm the bar type before the first lift.
If the person needs a seated transfer sling, start with the Handicare Universal Sling. If the job is a vest with detachable leg harnesses, stay with the Medcare Walking Sling. If the job is a fully supportive divided-leg paediatric transfer with head support, that is the Tinkham Sling, a different listing.
Service, repairs, and warranty
When something on the harness needs work, you call the shop that sold it, not a US parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department.
Silvalea manufacturer warranty
Silvalea warrants its slings for 12 months from the date of purchase. We handle the claim with you. Inspect the harness before every use and replace it when the cloth, seams, zip, buckles, or tapes show wear.
Frequently asked questions
What model is this?
It is the Savaria Rachel Harness, listed by Savaria Patient Care and made by Silvalea. Small is M921535-S. XXXS through Extra Large follow the same M921535 size letters.
Is this a loop sling or a clip sling?
Loop. Detachable tapes hang on a loop-type spreader bar or carry bar. The tapes clip onto the jacket. The lift attachment is not a clip-bar stud and not a Human Care mushroom E-clip.
What is the safe working load?
485 lb (220 kg) on every size. The finished system is limited by the lowest rating among the lift, the bar, and the harness.
Which size should I order?
Start with the chest chart, then confirm with a clinician or our staff before first use. Small M921535-S is the typical paediatric starting point. We will match the selector to one manufacturer article.
How is this different from the Tinkham Sling?
This page is the navy mesh jacket for standing and sitting. The Tinkham Sling is a fully supportive divided-leg transfer sling with integrated head support, a wrap-around thoracic buckle, and Superfine PLUS fabric. They are different articles with different codes.
Does the person need to bear weight?
Silvalea recommends some weight-bearing ability. A clinician should confirm that this is the right harness before first use.
Can it be worn for a longer session?
Silvalea states that the mesh jacket can be worn for extended periods. Follow the care plan. Inspect the fit during the session.
Does it fit a C450, A450, or Carina 350?
Those Handicare motors use loop carry-bar hooks, which is the attachment class this harness is built for. It also fits the C625, the AP300, and the Savaria M-Series ceiling lift. Confirm the bar on your motor and stay inside the lowest working load. A Carina 350 stays inside 350 lb.
How do I put it on?
The jacket goes on from a bed or a chair. Close the front zip. Fasten the clunk-click closures. Bring the groin section into place. Clip the detachable tapes onto the jacket and hang the loops on the carry bar. We will walk through the first application with you.
How do I wash it?
Close the fastenings. Machine wash at 85 C (185 F) with a non-biological detergent. Tumble dry on low heat, max 50 C. Do not iron. Inspect tapes, zip, and buckles after every wash.
Does funding cover a sling in Ontario?
Slings follow the funding path of the lift they are used with. Call (905) 451-7743 and we will check the Handicare or Savaria lift and the harness together.
