Ceiling Hoist Systems

Safe, Efficient & Discreet Patient Transfers

Ceiling hoists are an essential solution for safe patient handling in hospitals, care homes, and domestic settings. Designed to reduce manual handling risks while improving comfort and dignity, ceiling hoist systems provide smooth, reliable transfers without taking up valuable floor space.

Our ceiling hoist solutions combine the AirGlide track system with AirRise hoist units, creating a flexible, discreet lifting system that integrates seamlessly into a wide range of care environments. Whether supporting routine transfers or complex mobility needs, ceiling hoists offer a long-term, efficient solution for both patients and caregivers.

How Ceiling Hoist Systems Work

Ceiling hoists are mounted overhead and operate along fixed or modular track systems, allowing users to be lifted and transferred safely between locations such as beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and bathrooms. Unlike mobile hoists, ceiling hoists remain permanently installed, reducing setup time and physical strain on carers.

X-Y Ceiling Hoist Systems

X-Y ceiling hoist systems provide full room coverage by allowing the hoist to travel both lengthways and widthways across the ceiling. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, treatment rooms, and bathrooms where maximum flexibility is required. X-Y systems support independent movement throughout the space and are particularly effective for frequent transfers.

AirGlide Track System

The AirGlide track system is engineered for smooth, effortless movement and can be configured in straight, curved, or X-Y layouts. Integrated neatly into the ceiling, the track preserves a non-clinical appearance while supporting improved infection control by keeping floors clear. Wall-mounted track options are also available where ceiling structures or heights present challenges.

AirRise Hoist Units

AirRise hoists are designed for quiet, controlled operation, featuring soft start and stop technology and smooth-rolling twin trolleys. This ensures comfortable, stable transfers while minimising anxiety for users. AirRise hoists are compatible with a range of sling options and lifting capacities, making them suitable for diverse care needs.
