Event Description

We have the liko golvo lifts and they have a sling bar for the sling to hang on.The bar has a safety latch on it so that the sling does not come off.However, this latch comes off very easy and we were finding that many of these lifts were missing this latch.Appears that the staff may have been removing them because it is much easier to put the sling on and off without the latch.My concern is if this is a safety latch it should not be so easy to remove it from the sling bar.
