Common Questions

Ceiling Hoist System FAQs

A ceiling track hoist is an overhead lifting system designed to safely transfer individuals with limited mobility. It enhances accessibility, reduces caregiver strain, and saves space compared to mobile hoists.

Ceiling hoists come in fixed, portable, manual traverse, powered traverse, and bariatric models, each suited for different healthcare environments.

Ceiling hoists offer better stability, eliminate floor obstructions, and provide smoother patient transfers compared to traditional mobile hoists.

Ceiling hoists are installed using ceiling mounts, wall brackets, or support posts. The method depends on the structure of the building and weight capacity requirements.

The track system must be reinforced to handle 1.5 times the hoist’s safe working load. Engineers assess ceiling strength and required fixings before installation.

Yes, older buildings may need additional reinforcements, such as steel beam supports or alternative wall-mounted solutions.

Commonly used in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation centres, and private homes to support mobility needs.

One potential disadvantage of a motorised hoist is that it requires a power source, making it unusable during power outages unless there is a backup system. Additionally, motorised components may require regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation.

Yes, but they require special coatings and infrared handsets to prevent damage from moisture.

X-Y systems provide full-room coverage, while monorails follow a fixed track for specific transfer points.

Ceiling hoists require a 24V power connection, with dedicated outlets for transit couplings, track switches, and charging points.

Charging happens through the handset, requiring a switched fuse spur installed at ceiling height.

Hoists need an annual service and load testing at 1.5 times their safe working limit to ensure safety.

Yes, all Innova hoists meet EN: 10535:2006 and Directive 93/42/EEC safety standards.

Yes! Systems can be customized with straight monorails, curved tracks, or full-room X-Y coverage for maximum flexibility.

Inset tracks provide a sleek, space-saving design and improved infection control.

Yes, the AirGlide Curtain Hopper allows privacy curtains and hoists to coexist without obstruction.

• Integralift Hidden Hoist – A discreet hoist that folds away into a cabinet.
• Mobile hoists – A non-permanent lifting solution.
