The invention includes two motors that are arranged with the head turning sprockets in fixed chains connecting between the wall channels across the traveling bridge to provide movement of the traveling bridge and head thereacross, with a third motor providing vertical movement of the sling. The motors are preferably operated by a low voltage system, preferably through batteries, to limit a potential for dangerous electrical shock to the handicapped person should the control contact water.
