Why a hoist
Enhancing Mobility and Comfort
Hoists provide a mechanical means by which a less able person can be moved or transferred. They facilitate movement from one place or position to another. This could be in and out of a bed, across a room or into a car.
When the act of moving puts too much strain on your carer or on yourself, you may require a hoist. Such situations pose a risk of harm. Additionally, if you are exploring hoists as a way to live more comfortably, it’s important to understand the benefits and uses of each one.
Ceiling Hoists
Ceiling track hoists ensure a safe, quick way of transfer. This type of hoist runs along permanently fixed tracks or rails, so they do not occupy floor space the way a mobile hoist does. Notably, users may operate ceiling-mounted hoist systems independently. This is often impossible with floor-standing systems.
Ceiling hoists suit a variety of care settings. These settings encompass hospitals, care homes, and private residences. You can install them in multiple rooms or areas to provide comprehensive coverage throughout a property.
Gantry Hoists
A gantry rail hoist (aka overhead hoist) offers a more portable alternative to a ceiling track hoist. These work by supporting the track from a free-standing frame rather than attaching it to the ceiling. This feature allows for easy installation and removal, making them perfect for use in temporary or multiple locations.
Physiotherapy clinics or schools often use these when a more versatile transfer system is needed. You can also use them at home, when travelling or visiting friends and family. These can come with different span widths from 2-5 meters. Our team of specialists can ensure to match the right hoist solution to your particular needs.
Mobile Hoists
The most common type of hoist is the mobile hoist, which you can use in a variety of complex or basic situations, such as in the house or for getting in and out of a car. Mobile hoists, being self-contained units, don’t require any track installation, offering maximum flexibility at an affordable price point. What’s more, this kind is easily transportable, making it ideal for day trips and holidays.
We offer our range of mobile hoists with the user’s comfort, safety, and convenience in mind. We offer a variety of models to choose from depending on your build and specific needs. These considerations include lifting capacity and manoeuvrability. Our team can also provide training and guidance on how to correctly and safely use these hoists.
