This unique lifting module incorporates an automatic device that allows it to be lowered and raised to and from the rail systems without any physical lifting by the carer.
This opens up the possibility of being able to use one lifting module between multiple rail installations in various locations.
The Hoist module can be simply disengaged from the rail and lowered in to a custom designed transport trolley and the moved to another location.

The transport trolley enables the module to be stored and charged when not in use a moved around safely.

The unique coupling system raises the module and engages it with the rail in an alternative location.

This provides a very cost effective solution where a number of locations are requiring a lifting solution but perhaps not in use constantly for example in a private property or in a respite unit.
