Mounting the hoist to the ceiling is usually the preferred method of installation when considering the manual handling of a patient or disabled person. A ceiling mounted hoist has several advantages over alternative lifting methods. A ceiling hoist takes up no floor spaceThe user can operate independentlyPermanently fixed hoist and portable hoists available on ceiling mounted tracksDoes not require 2 carers to operate, as is currently recommended when using mobile floor hoistsThe ceiling hoist track can travel from room to roomThe portable hoist option is easily detached for use on tracking installed in other roomsInstalling Ceiling Mounted Hoists
Most structures are able to accommodate a ceiling mounted hoist. A variety of solutions are available to assist installation. The following applications are commonplace. Concrete ceilingsSteel webbed joistsCathedral/sloping ceilingsSteel and timber I beamsTimber joistsSuspended ceilingsPitched roofsCeiling Hoist Track Configurations
There are several track layouts to choose from which are determined by the lifting requirements in the room. Straight TrackingStraight track with 45 or 90 degree bendsRoom to room track systemsXY or H frame tracking systemTurntablesY Junction ExchangersWall MountingSemi-permanent trackingStraight tracking is the easiest to install and most cost effective means of hoisting, enabling basic lifting of the user from position to position in a straight line. Adding curved sections to the track permits greater room coverage and increased lifting and repositioning flexibility. For full room coverage the XY system is required. This involves two straight sections of track being fixed adjacent to each other on each side of the room with another track joining the two. The XY hoist track system allows full room coverage and is an increasingly popular choice. Fixed ceiling hoist features can include: User programmable featuresEmergency stop and loweringBattery and charging systemReturn to charge featureWireless remote control availablePower sharing function for turntables, gates and exchangersHow much does a ceiling hoist cost?
The cost of a ceiling mounted hoist is determined by a number of factors. The length of the trackingThe number and complexity of bends if requiredThe ceiling constructionThe number and type of fixings requiredThe weight of the hoist user/sA straight track hoist 3 metres in length and fixed to timber joists, or to a concrete ceiling, would normally cost less than £2000. For a 3 metre x 3 metre XY system the price would normally be between £2500 and £3000.
