Fixed Lift Motors vs Portable Ceiling Lift Motors

A fixed ceiling lift motor (C 625) is a unit that resides in the track system and functions as a permanent system component. This lift's advantages include higher lift capacity, easy-to-use battery charge, proven longevity and an easy-to-use and unobtrusive carry bar.

The portable ceiling lift motor (P 425) can be moved from room to room, to different tracks and offers greater flexibility of use. The unit can be easily connected and disconnected. Because of use and portability, it will usually have a shorter life span. The motor unit acts as both motor and carry bar, from which the sling is suspended.

Anterior and above the patient in its positioning, this model is more obtrusive than a fixed lift carry bar.

For both fixed and portable ceiling lifts, coverage is defined by track configuration. Maneuverability options range from precise placement and maneuverability with an X-Y gantry to more limited configurations of single rail tracks (see track configurations, page 10-11). The ability to transfer from one track to another or from one room to another via a turntable or auto-gate further extends the coverage area of a lift device.
