As one of the UK’s leading providers of ceiling hoists and overhead lifts, we Supply, Install and Service yours hoists. We are here to Support you for the long term.

We know that the right lifting solution can transform daily routines, reducing the physical strain on carers and giving service users dignity in their care. We work with you, ensuring you find a cost-effective, reliable solution that truly improves your quality of life.

Why Families Choose Our Solutions

Caring for a family member at home should be about connection, not the stress of manual lifting. Ceiling hoists are widely recognised as the safest, most effective way to assist with movement. By moving the lifting process to the ceiling:

You regain your floor space, removing the trip hazards and bulk of mobile hoists.

You reduce the risk of injury for both the user and the carer.

• You create a more dignified environment, whether the system is installed through a DFG grant, social services, or as a private addition to your home.

We work seamlessly with architects, Occupational Therapists, and builders to handle the technical details for you. With high stock levels held right here in the UK, we can respond quickly when your needs are urgent.

Designed With You in Mind

We believe technology should be intuitive and discreet. We have a wide range of overhead hoists that will lift anything from 0 – 500Kg, designed specifically to blend into a home or care environment without feeling intrusive.

We have the Golift for instance:

Compact & Powerful: Its small size makes it perfect for rooms with low ceilings, providing more lifting height and better clearance.

Effortless Charging: With in-rail charging, the hoist powers up wherever you leave it. You’ll never have to worry about returning it to a specific "docking station" just to ensure it’s ready for the next use.

Gentle Control: The handset is as sensitive as a smartphone screen, giving the user or carer precise, gentle control. It is an ideal choice for single-handed care or for those pursuing independent living.

Reliability You Can Trust: Every hoist is backed by a 3-5 year warranty. We design our systems to be low-maintenance and long-lasting, because we know you need equipment you can rely on every single day.

Simple, Stress-Free Installation

Whether you are a private individual looking for a home solution or a professional designing a new care space, our team at Enableling is here to listen. We provide expert guidance through every step of the planning and installation process.

We know that once you’ve decided, you want things to happen quickly. We pride ourselves on our efficiency, often moving from order to completed installation in just 1 to 2 weeks.

FAQs

how to use a ceiling track hoist?
Position the sling, then attach loops to the spreader bar. Use the handset to lift gently, ensuring the user is comfortable. Smoothly glide them along the track to the destination. Always check the Safe Working Load (SWL) and ensure the battery is charged. Safety first for a smooth transfer!

how does a ceiling track hoist work
A ceiling track hoist uses an electric motor (hoist unit) that runs along a fixed rail system. It provides smooth, dignified transfers between beds, chairs, or baths. Operated via a handset, it lifts using a spreader bar and sling, reducing injury risks for both you and your carers.
how many carers operating a ceiling track hoist
Typically, UK best practice and manufacturer guidelines require two trained carers to operate a ceiling track hoist safely. However, a formal OT risk assessment may permit single-handed care if the client's needs and environment allow. Always check your local authority’s specific Moving and Handling policy.
how many people should operate ceiling track hoist
UK guidelines, including HSE and LOLER, generally recommend two trained carers to operate a ceiling track hoist safely. While a single-handed care plan is possible after a rigorous risk assessment by an OT, two people ensure the user’s dignity and physical safety during the transfer.
how much does a ceiling track hoist cost
At EnableLiving, we know costs vary based on your unique needs. A basic straight track starts around £2,000, while full-room H-frames can exceed £4,000. Prices depend on track length, motor type, structural reinforcements, and survey results. Contact us on 08000 250 999 for a free, tailored quote.
how to install a ceiling track hoist
Installation must be performed by competent, factory-trained engineers to ensure compliance with LOLER and BS EN 10535. It involves structural surveys, secure fixing to joists or Unistrut, and rigorous load testing. Never attempt a DIY install; safety and warranty depend on professionals.
how to prepare a risk assessment for ceiling track hoists
A risk assessment must evaluate the environment (space, flooring), the task (frequency, type of transfer), and the individual's specific needs (tone, weight, cognitive state). You must document the required sling type, loop settings, and the number of carers to ensure safe, dignified moving.
Where in the UK do we install and Service Ceiling Track Hoists?
As a national provider, Enable Living supplies, installs, and services ceiling track hoists across the entire UK. From our headquarters in Lancashire, our network of accredited engineers covers England, Scotland, and Wales, providing free site surveys and professional LOLER inspections nationwide.
Can you use a ceiling track hoist on your own?
While "independent hoisting" is possible with specific equipment, it requires a stringent OT risk assessment. You must have the cognitive and physical ability to manage the sling and hand control safely. Without this formal sign-off, a carer is always required.
Can one carer use a ceiling hoist?
Yes, single-handed care is possible with a ceiling hoist, provided a robust Occupational Therapy risk assessment deems it safe. Factors include the user's weight, medical stability, and environment. We prioritize safety and dignity, often recommending specific slings for solo operation.
