/Integralift Hidden Hoist

The Integralift folds out of a cupboard to become a bed hoist, transferring to chairs or commodes or vice versa. Simply open the cupboard and pull out the arm of the hoist to get it set up. The Integralift patient hoist has been designed to save caregivers’ time during transfers. The lifter and sling can be kept permanently in place in the cupboard making it an ideal piece of home care equipment, and the hoist itself never needs to be charged because it’s wired up to the mains supply. It’s honestly that easy.

The Integralift is exceedingly easy to clean. Rather than long lengths of overhead ceiling track which can be particularly tricky to clean ona typical patient lifting hoist, the Integralift can be wiped down with ease. The top of the hoist can also be sloped if necessary, giving extra access to any nooks and crannies. The cabinet itself can also be constructed from full thickness laminate for greater infection control.

1. VisitEngland released statistics that showed overnight journeys made by, or accompanied by, an individual with a heath impairment or condition were worth just under £1 billion in a 6-month period. Around 20% of the average business’ customer base was made up of disabled people, who spent approximately £80 billion every year. The statistics also showed that disabled travellers made a conscious decision NOT to stay anywhere if there weren’t appropriate facilities.
2. According to section 12.8.1 of BS8300:2009: “For new buildings, the minimum provision of accessible bedrooms as a percentage of the total number of bedrooms should be…5% with a fixed tracked-hoist system or similar system giving the same degree of convenience and safety.” The Integralift satisfies this requirement and ensures that hotel guests can remain as accessible as possible without detracting from the appearance of the hotel room.
3. Hotels and guesthouses that are equipped with patient lifting equipment are much more likely to be frequently visited by people with disabilities. These establishments find great benefits in increased customer loyalty, simply by installing a hoist system. Organisations like www.chuc.org.uk exist to source and promote disability-friendly hotels to a wide client group of disabled individuals.
4. The low maintenance design of the Integralift makes it ideal for hotels. The hoist is always charging wit ha battery back-up for peace of mind. All equipment and the sling can be stored in the cabinet for easy access.
5. The Integralift can easily be installed in an existing hotel room with no hassle. Innova can supply, install, and specify each Integralift unit in accordance with regulations and the hotel’s requirements.

We’ve worked with hotels in the past to create accessible, relaxing environments for disabled guests and their families. The Integralift is perfect for design briefs where the overall aesthetics of the room cannot be compromised by bulky, mechanical mobility equipment.
