Home Hoists & Shower Chairs
A ceiling track hoist is the perfect solution to safely moving patients out of bed, or from a wheelchair to the bath. Normally electrically powered, these hoists enables a carer to easily raise, lower, turn and move an elderly or infirm patient with the maximum ease, and the minimum risk of personal injury.
In some cases they can even be configured to allow transfers between rooms.
