Pool Crane Rotation Apparatus

摘要

An apparatus for rotating a crane for hoisting and moving a disabled person between a pool and an adjacent deck. The apparatus may include a post receptacle supported adjacent a pool and a post having a lower portion removably receivable in the post receptacle. The post may also have an upper portion that extends upward from the post receptacle when the lower portion of the post is received in the post receptacle. A turret sleeve may be supported on the post upper portion for rotation about a turret axis, and a turret arm may be carried by and extend radially outward from the turret sleeve. A seat may be carried by the arm. A turret driver may be operatively connected to the turret sleeve and configured to rotate the turret, arm, and seat about the turret axis. The apparatus may also include a remote controller configured to command the driver to rotate the turret, arm and seat about the turret axis.
