Ceiling Hoists are a great way to ensure that a person is still able to maintain the dignity and lifestyle they’re used to while ensuring the carer transferring them does so in a safe manner. We can propose a range of hoists that offer additional access options for homes and venues.

Ceiling hoists use a motorised track system mounted to the ceiling to lift and safely transfer individuals between locations, such as beds, wheelchairs, or bathrooms. They reduce the strain on caregivers and provide smooth, controlled movement.
Most hoists can lift between 130kg and 200kg (20-31 stone) (depending on the model). Always check the hoist’s safe working load (SWL) to meet your needs.
