Frequently Asked Questions

A track switch allows a ceiling hoist to be directed between different rail routes, enabling access to multiple rooms or transfer paths from a single system.

The switch is activated automatically using reed sensors and magnets on the hoist trolley, triggering a controlled motorised movement when the hoist reaches the switch.

No. During normal operation, the track switch functions automatically once the hoist trolley is correctly positioned.

The standard switch supports systems up to 275 kg, with a higher-capacity 350 kg option available.

No. It operates quietly at approximately 45 dB(A), making it suitable for sensitive care settings.

No. Outside of the switching action, hoist travel along the rail system remains smooth and uninterrupted.
