The GoLift Ceiling Hoist System represents a new standard in safe, efficient, and discreet patient lifting. Designed for healthcare environments that demand reliability and precision, the GoLift combines cutting-edge engineering, superior aesthetics, and exceptional ease of use to deliver the ultimate ceiling lift solution. Whether used in hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation facilities, or private residences, GoLift ensures every patient transfer is performed smoothly, comfortably, and with total safety assurance.
Compact yet powerful, the GoLift has been engineered to pack exceptional lifting capability into a lightweight and stylish design. It is widely recognised as the most compact ceiling hoist in its class, weighing only 4.6kg, yet capable of lifting up to 318kg with a single unit. For bariatric care, two GoLift 700 systems can be combined to achieve a total lifting capacity of 453kg, ensuring carers can confidently and safely transfer larger patients with ease. Its discreet appearance and smooth contours complement any environment, while also supporting infection control through easy-to-clean surfaces and rounded edges.
Every component is manufactured and tested to meet rigorous safety and performance standards, ensuring that GoLift delivers reliability and quality expected in professional healthcare settings. The GoLift Ceiling Hoist System is certified to Can/CSA-C22.2 No 60601-1:08, UL 60601-1:08, ISO 10535-06, and CE conformity standards.
Its compact size provides the right balance between stability and manoeuvrability, and it's wide enough to provide a comfortable ride, but narrow enough to fit through standard doorways, aisles, and elevators, making it an excellent choice for indoor and public spaces!
