The best hoist for home use depends on your space and your mobility needs. A ceiling hoist may suit you if you want to save floor space or move between several rooms, for example from bedroom to bathroom. It is always best to speak to a professional so we can help you work out what is right for you.
A ceiling hoist uses a motor on a track fixed to the ceiling to lift and move a person between places such as a bed, wheelchair or bathroom. This reduces physical strain on carers and offers smooth, controlled movement for the person using the hoist.
The safe lifting weight depends on the model. Many hoists, including common ceiling hoists, have safe working loads in the region of 130 kilograms to 200 kilograms, which is about 20 to 31 stone. Some specialist models can lift more. You should always check the hoist’s safe working load, often shown as SWL, to make sure it meets your needs.
Yes. All hoists, including ceiling hoists, need regular checks and servicing to stay safe to use. In care settings, LOLER rules, which are the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations, require a thorough inspection of patient lifting equipment at least every six months. Many providers also recommend a full service about once a year to keep the hoist in good working order.
A hoist is a mechanical device that helps lift and move a person with limited mobility. A patient lift is a broader term that covers different types of lifting equipment, including manual hoists, powered hoists and ceiling hoists, that all aim to make moving and handling safer.
Some ceiling hoist systems can support self transfer for certain users if the layout, controls and sling type suit their abilities and a professional has assessed the set up. But in most cases a carer or assistant should operate the hoist so each transfer stays safe and well controlled.
A ceiling hoist needs enough height for the overhead track and clear space for the person and sling to move. You also need room to reach the controls and to stand in a safe position during transfers. It is a good idea to measure doorways and transfer areas so we can suggest a layout that fits your home or care setting.
