Patient lift slings in Brampton
Bring the lift model to Unit 7, 15 Fisherman Drive. We match the sling to that lift and to the transfer, not to a size chart on a box.
Full-body, toileting and stand-assist slings, plus universal, divided-leg and specialty styles. Compatible with Hoyer, Invacare and Handicare lifts. Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm. Call 905 451-7743 if you want someone waiting.
Walk in with the lift model and we match the sling to it.
Westin Healthcare's showroom is Unit 7, 15 Fisherman Drive, Brampton, ON L7A 1B7, in the northwest industrial pocket near Mount Pleasant. A family leaving Brampton Civic on Bovaird can reach this floor without leaving the city. Contact the hospital directly about its own services.
Bring the make and model of the lift already in the house, or a photo of the hanger bar. Hoyer, Invacare and Handicare slings are not interchangeable just because they look similar. The loops have to match that bar.
The lift is chosen once. The sling is chosen for the job.
Most households need two slings, not one: a general transfer sling and a toileting sling if bathroom transfers are part of the day. Browse the live categories below, or call the Brampton desk with the lift model.
Universal slings
The general purpose sling for bed to chair and back. If a household has one sling, it is usually this one.
Full body slings
Extends up behind the head and shoulders, for someone with little or no trunk and head control.
Toileting slings
Open underneath so clothing can be managed while the person stays supported. Specifically for bathroom transfers.
Sit-to-stand slings
For a sit-to-stand lift, not a full floor hoist. Needs some weight through the legs and a real grip on the frame.
Divided leg slings
The leg sections pass separately under each thigh, which makes it far easier to apply to someone already sitting down.
Specialty slings
The leftover styles that are not the five above. Call with the transfer and the lift model rather than guessing from a product name.

A Hoyer loop on an Invacare bar is how transfers go wrong.
The live page said these slings are compatible with Hoyer, Invacare and Handicare lifts. That is a brand list, not a promise that any sling fits any bar. The lower of the lift rating and the sling rating governs the transfer. We confirm both against the person's weight on the Brampton floor, or at the house if you cannot come in.
Fraying means it is done
There is no fixed replacement interval. Fraying at the edges, stretched stitching or thinning fabric near a loop means that sling comes out of service that day. Bring the worn one with you.
Bathroom is a second sling
A universal sling does not open for clothing. If bathroom transfers happen every day, budget for a toileting sling at the same visit.
Start with the lifts guide
If there is no lift in the house yet, do not buy a sling first. Read the patient lifts guide, or the Brampton patient lift rentals page for a short stay.
ADP does not cover slings. Peel does not run a hardship fund for them.
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program funds eligible manual and power wheelchairs, approved scooters, wheelchair seating and wheeled walkers. It does not fund patient lifts or slings, in Brampton or anywhere else in Ontario.
Toronto residents can use the City Hardship Fund for slings, including replacements. That number is 416-338-8888 and that program stops at the Toronto border. Peel does not run a municipal equipment hardship fund for people who are not on Ontario Works or ODSP. If you are on ODSP in Peel, ask about Disability additional benefits. Do not call the Toronto number from a Brampton house.
You have the lift already
Come to 15 Fisherman Drive with the model name. We match the sling and quote in writing. Same-day is often realistic when the size is in stock. We do not promise it on this page.
Brampton showroom →You want a program to help
ADP will not. March of Dimes HVMP may fund an eligible lift when applicant, request and authorization rules fit. WSIB may help only on an allowed work-related claim with clinical support and authorization. Veterans Affairs POC 13 may help only for an eligible assessed need with benefit-grid approval. ODSP Mandatory Special Necessities excludes home renovations such as ramps and stairlifts, and is not blanket funding for lifts. A replacement sling is a smaller ask. Tell us early.
See how funding works →Rent the lift, include the slings
If the need started at Brampton Civic and may end in weeks, rent the lift. Slings are supplied with the rental and sized to the person.

If yours is not here, call the Brampton desk on 905 451-7743. A person answers during business hours.
Can I walk into the Brampton showroom with my lift model and leave with a sling?
Yes. Unit 7, 15 Fisherman Drive is a walk-in showroom. Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm. Bring the make and model, or a photo of the hanger bar. We match loops to that bar. We will not promise a same-day walk-out if the size is not in stock.
Does Peel fund slings the way Toronto Hardship Fund does?
No. Toronto's Hardship Fund lists slings, including replacements. Peel does not run a municipal equipment hardship fund for people who are not on Ontario Works or ODSP. If you are on ODSP in Peel, ask about Disability additional benefits. Do not call 416-338-8888 from Brampton. That number is Toronto Employment and Social Services.
After a discharge from Brampton Civic, where do I go for a sling?
Come to 15 Fisherman Drive, or call 905 451-7743 and we come to the house. Civic is in this city, on Bovaird Drive East; contact the hospital directly about its own services. If the stay may be short, rent the lift and the slings together.
Does ADP cover a patient lift sling?
No. ADP covers eligible manual and power wheelchairs, approved scooters, wheelchair seating and wheeled walkers. It does not cover lifts or slings, in Brampton or anywhere else in Ontario.
Which sling do I need?
Usually two. A universal or divided-leg sling for bed to chair, and a toileting sling if bathroom transfers are part of the day. Sit-to-stand slings only belong on a sit-to-stand lift. Full-body slings add head support. We fit them to the lift and the person on the Brampton floor.
Will a Hoyer sling fit my Invacare or Handicare lift?
Not automatically. Those three brands are the ones the live page named. The loops still have to match that hanger bar, and the lower of the two ratings governs. Bring the model. We will say no if it does not match.
How often should slings be replaced?
There is no fixed interval. It depends on how often they are washed and at what temperature. Fraying, stretched stitching or thinning fabric near a loop means it is finished that day. Bring the worn sling to Fisherman Drive and we will look at it.
Where do I shop the products if I already know the type?
Universal, full-body, toileting, sit-to-stand, divided-leg and specialty slings are live categories. The lifts themselves are on the patient lifts guide and the patient lifts shop. Ceiling track slings belong with ceiling lifts.
