OpeMed (Europe) Ltd

Ceiling hoists (also known as overhead hoists or ceiling track hoists) save time, provide dignity, reduce risk of injury, provide better positioning, free up space and reduce the number of carers involved.

OT200 Ceiling Hoist - Unique Features

The award winning OT200 Ceiling Hoist is a cost effective, flexible solution that can be installed in virtually any setting.

• Small, compact and white to blend in with their surroundings.
• The only ceiling hoist that has a gravity charging system that charges itself whenever in use, giving up to 50% more lifts per charge. A more cost effect way of hoisting, saving running costs by up to 25%.
• Able to lift/ lower even when the tape is at an angle unlike other hoists.
• The standard cassette will lift up to 200kg (31.5st) and we also have cassettes that will also lift up to 272kg (42st) and 450kg (70st).
• Will lift from floor to ceiling.
• Safe in an emergency. Unlike other hoists it has a no tools emergency down feature where, if in the event of electrical failure, the hoists gives an automatic controlled descent, no need for manual winding down with hex keys etc.
• Bespoke. OpeMed pride ourselves on our turnkey service from design, CAD drawings right through to installation and training.

Automatic Recharging - Hybrid Solution

The OT200 Ceiling Track Hoist automatically recharges itself eliminating the risk of the carer forgetting to return the hoist to the charging point. In addition it gives double the battery life of any other ceiling hoist, as well as reducing your servicing costs and your environmental footprint.

Inbuilt Diagnostics

The inbuilt diagnostics read how often it has been used, adjust the speed up and down as well as along the track and has fault finding if there is ever a problem.

The OT200 Ceiling Hoist has a unique emergency lowering system, that unlike its competitors does not require tools or add-ons, it simply bypasses the electronics and performs a safe and quick emergency lowering at the press of a button.

Options include a powered tilting spreader bar, a power-along-the-rail system (so the hoist is always charged), portable ceiling hoist and a weighscale.

Full Range of Track and Layouts

The OT200 has a wide range of track and accessories to allow the ceiling hoist to be installed in virtually any setting. Our options include room covering systems (also known as xy systems) that can connect up to a neighbouring room with a gate system, tight curves for small bathrooms and a flexible turntable allowing our specifiers to give you a real benefit to the carer and user.

Westholme Ltd

Westholme provides safe, reliable and effective hoisting solutions for carers and patients who can no longer safely manage a manually assisted transfer.

A wide range of hoisting systems are available to suit many different environments and situations; from mobile floor hoists, floor mounted gantry hoist systems through to fixed installation ceiling track hoist systems.

A ceiling track hoist enables a carer to lift and transfer a patient from one location to another. It is simple, unrestricted, friendly, and easy to use. The hoist runs on a static ceiling track which is customised to your requirements and installed by the Westholme Survey and Installation departments. All Westholme Ceiling Track hoists are manufactured to BS EN10535 standards. The hoist is powered by an on board battery pack and is charged at an in-line power point. A major benefit to implementing a ceiling track hoist is that because it is at ceiling level, it is unobtrusive and does not require storage, making it ideal for areas with limited space.

Ergolet

The Luna, Ergolet's flagship product, is a complete overhead lift solution. One lightweight and versatile lift unit can service several rooms with a lifting capacity of 200 Kg. Moving the Luna from room to room is easy as it can be mounted without tools. (There is also a model capable of lifting 275 Kg)

The Luna is able to function vertically, horizontally, or as a mounted unit to better meet all of your lifting needs, while its sleek, pleasing design enhances the user's experience. The Luna's incredible versatility allows for easy room-to-room transfers using the traditional fixed track. The specially-designed discreet E-Track gives further flexibility when designing systems with the individual in mind.

Ergolet’s patented safe-lock spreader bar puts both the caregiver and individual at ease through its inventive safety features. The Luna's attached hand control makes performing lifts convenient while allowing the caregiver to remain close to the individual.

Guldmann Hoists

The range of hoists from Guldmann now incorporates the NEW GH1

The Guldmann GH1 is a NEW strong, simple, ceiling mounted lifting module, it was developed specifically for the needs of home care and designed to meet the full range of day-to-day lifting needs in private homes, sheltered housing and care homes. It is a small neat design that will fit well in most locations. In use the GH1 is easy and intuitive to operate.

The GH1 provides safe and comfortable transfers, its compact size needs very little space and it is compatible with the Guldmann GH-rail systems and Guldmann Slings and accessories. The hoist can be personalised for the home environment, the side panels of the module can be fitted with a choice of four standard decor panels or customised by end users in the same way as the GH3 rails. Being easy to decorate helps the hoist system contrast, match or blend into the interior design.

Unlike the GH3, the GH1 hoist does not charge through the rail, but docks and charges through the handset. Recharging normally takes 2 – 3 hours, and on a full charge the GH1 module will complete in the region of 55 lifts (at 85kg each) this can last up to two weeks at 4 lifts per day.

The GH1 module is based on the innovative and robust technologies of GH3 lift system motors with a SWL of up to 205kg. The GH1 module is not only powerful but also fast utilising modern NiMH battery technology to power the hoist, allowing lifting and transfer operations to be carried out smoothly and quickly - leaving carers, more time to care.

Emergency stop and lowering are incorporated and simple to use.

Guldmann GH3

The GH3 ceiling hoist system is a state-of-the-art system meeting the changing needs of our customers in today's demanding professional healthcare environments.

This system has the big advantage that it is always ready for use – the lifting modules are continuously charged on the rail. These lifting modules move quietly using only a minimum of current. Transitions between rail sections are virtually unnoticeable, for maximum smoothness. Advanced digital systems provide numerous additional functions, including an integrated weighing system, service management and documentation of usage.

All these capabilities combine to make the GH3 ceiling hoist system the most cost-effective solution currently available for heavy-duty use in any professional care environment.

GH3 rails can be mounted on ceilings, walls or supporting pillars, with unsupported spans of up to 8 metres. Interconnecting elements such as gates and switch tracks make it easy to configure rail set-ups for virtually any building, space or requirements.

The discreet, modern design can be made to blend into any style of architecture, interior or décor – either in new structures or as a retrofit. GH3 lifting modules can lift users weighing up to 350 kg with one lifting strap and 500 kg with two straps. Lifting speeds are up to 60 mm/sec.

All Guldmann systems have proven to have an amazingly long service life. That’s why they have been designed so the new GH3 lifting modules can be used on existing GH2 rail systems.

Integra

A unique design in hoists? The Integralifter™ looks just like furniture. It also overcomes the problem of fitting track to a ceiling that may need strengening or not be suitable at all. Although it doesn't have the flexibility of a single track from bed to bathroom it would be a unique solution where only one lift point is required i.e. where there is a roll in shower. Renowned Scandinavian elegance in the design. The unit can be supplied in various colours and finishes along with additional matching furniture.

Freeway Healthcare

A ceiling track hoist is quick and easy to use, and is never in the way, and always where you need it. Because of this constant availability, it is more likely to be used by carers than a mobile hoist, which may not be to hand immediately when it is required.

Positioning a person is easier with a ceiling track hoist. It eliminates the risk of back injury for carers when performing a transfer and requires minimum effort to operate . As in most cases it can be operated by one person, there is much closer contact between the user and the carer and can be more dignified in use than other solutions. A person is more easily positioned using the ceiling track hoist, as they can be raised lowered turned and traversed with no physical effort from the carer.

It does not take up floor space and is therefore often suitable for use in restricted areas or toilets/small bathrooms where a mobile hoist might be difficult to manoeuvre. It does not have ‘traffic’ problems in moving and is not affected by different levels of floor or rucks in carpets.

It can lift higher and lower than a mobile hoist: the same hoist can be used for floor to chair transfer, chair to shower stretcher, raised bath, or bed.

Ceiling Track hoists are very well received by persons being lifted in them, who generally feel secure as they experience no sudden movement. The Freeway has a ‘soft start’ as a standard feature, which means that the hoist gradually builds up to its full speed and virtually eliminates jerking.

Advent Medical Equipment

 A new service driven business founded by Andy Haines who has some 20 years' experience in manufacture, service and sales of hoists and other equipment. Starting from just £25 for a LOLER test on a mobile hoist, pricing is deliberately keen to allow all users to access the wealth of time serviced experience that we have.

I am pleased to be able to eek out a niche in the market, and at the same time offer services to individuals and organisations alike that are necessary but not always easily accessible - no pun intended! I can offer equipment sourcing, and original equipment manufacturers components often direct from the component manufacturer, making them more affordable. The service is available in the midlands and south west/south/mid Wales

Other services on offer are wet rooms, free standing shower cubicles which can be sited anywhere, ramp systems and building modifications such as kitchens and extended ramp systems.

We are also able to offer installation services for second user hoists subject to survey and inspection of the hoist.

Andy can be contacted on 0845 519 1968, or 07507 850934.

Lisclare

Lisclare has been providing moving and handling solutions throughout the UK and Ireland for over 10 years.


Room-to-room transfers, such as from bedroom to bathroom, are easily achieved using the Roomer™ 5200 Cassette Unit.

The user is transferred in a controlled, comfortable & safe manner through a standard door opening without the need for mechanical gate systems or modifications to the room structure.

The Roomer cassette is suspended from one of two belts, only one of which is ever lifting / lowering. To traverse between rooms:



1) Bring the cassette to the centre of the doorway.

2) Connect the “free” tape to the track you wish to traverse to.

3) Rotate the drive switch through 180 degrees

4) Press & hold the “up” button (The manoeuvre can be paused at any time)

5) Listen for the original tape clicking free

6) Remove the original lift tape from the original track - The transfer is complete - The total time is around 3-5 seconds!



There is no requirement for an inter-linking section of rail between adjacent rooms when our Roomer cassette is utilised. The person being lifted is transferred horizontally between the two rooms, safely, smoothly and efficiently. This has several advantages in that the door headers can be installed as per any “standard” installation and the need for specialist “full height” doors is negated with additional cost and time savings. Additionally, because we do not use an interlinking track section between rooms, the fire/smoke integrity of the rooms is not compromised unlike most other overhead systems currently available- the advantages are therefore obvious.

Simple and cost effective installation

No structural modification to the door or doorway is required
Variations in ceiling height is not an obstacle
One cassette unit serves multiple rooms
No need for turntables
Smoke boundary integrity is NOT compromised

Our unique spreader bar also has 3 settings; small, standard & bariatric, which enables clients of different sizes to be lifted using the same cassette.
