The GoLift Portable 450 Ceiling Hoist is designed to bring safe, comfortable, and efficient overhead lifting into everyday care environments, offering a modern approach to transferring individuals with reduced mobility. Created with a focus on durability, user comfort, and operational ease, this portable hoist delivers an outstanding balance between lightweight construction and robust lifting capability. Despite being one of the lightest hoists in its class—measuring only 2.72kg—the GoLift Portable 450 comfortably manages a safe working load of up to 204kg, ensuring that carers and users benefit from a reassuring combination of strength and practicality. This powerful performance is backed by all-metal gears, which enhance longevity and reliability while reducing the need for ongoing maintenance. Whether installed in a home, care facility, or multi-room professional setting, this hoist is built to support demanding daily use while remaining straightforward to handle and store.
From the moment the GoLift Portable 450 is set up, the system demonstrates ease of operation. It can be controlled either through the integral controls positioned on the hoist itself, or via the optional hand control, offering flexibility for carers or users depending on the situation. This dual-control approach ensures confidence during transfers, allowing precise command at all times, even when working in busy or space-restricted environments. The soft-start and soft-stop functions reduce movement shock, providing a smoother and more comfortable lift. For users who may experience anxiety during transfers, this gentle approach can make the process feel far more secure and reassuring. In addition, the emergency lowering function provides an added safety layer, giving carers the ability to safely manage the hoist should an unexpected situation arise, while the audible low-battery indicator ensures the hoist is always ready for use without surprises.
Designed with multi-user environments in mind, the GoLift Portable 450 delivers up to 55 lifts per charge under typical use. When lifting the full rated load of 204kg, it delivers around 30 lifts per charge, supporting busy care routines without frequent interruptions. Recharging the unit is equally efficient, requiring only 2–4 hours depending on battery level. The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery provides dependable power while keeping overall unit weight low, contributing to the hoist’s impressive portability. This combination of long lift cycles and short charging times ensures that the device is practical for frequent use in residential homes, rehabilitation centres, and healthcare facilities, where reliability and consistency are essential.

When it comes to physical design, the GoLift Portable 450 is compact and easy to manoeuvre. With a length of 48cm and an adjustable lifting strap height range of 28–198cm, the hoist accommodates a variety of room layouts and overhead track systems. This adaptability makes it particularly suitable for environments where different users require different lifting heights or where tracks may vary in length or shape. It also fits seamlessly with most gantry and ceiling track systems, ensuring simple integration without the need for specialist mounts or extensive modifications. This compatibility significantly reduces installation time and helps service providers integrate the hoist into existing infrastructure with minimal disruption.
Handling the unit is straightforward for carers, as its lightweight build reduces strain when moving the hoist between rooms or attaching it to different track systems. The design supports the workflow of care providers who need fast and repeatable lifting solutions without the inconvenience of heavy machinery. Despite its light frame, the hoist maintains the robust reliability expected of a professional-grade lifting device.

Every aspect of the GoLift Portable 450 has been developed to help create a safer, more comfortable transfer experience. The soft start/stop system prevents abrupt movements, helping protect both users and carers from unnecessary strain or instability. For care environments where users may have limited mobility or conditions that make them sensitive to sudden motion, this feature contributes significantly to overall comfort during transfers. The emergency lowering capability ensures that, should an unexpected malfunction occur, users can still be brought down safely and without delay. This peace of mind is invaluable in settings where safety is always the top priority.
