GoLift Freestanding Gantry Portable Track System for Quick Safe Patient Lifting

A portable, robust, and user-friendly lifting solution designed for quick setup and smooth patient handling.

The GoLift Freestanding Gantry is a versatile, load-bearing portable track system designed to support safe, comfortable, and efficient patient lifting in a wide range of care environments. Created for users who require a stable and adaptable lifting option without permanent structural installation, this freestanding gantry can be moved from one room to another with ease, providing an ideal solution for both temporary and long-term care needs. The gantry works seamlessly with the GoLift 400 or GoLift Portable 450, delivering a reliable lifting framework that maintains excellent strength, stability, and room-to-room flexibility. Engineered as a five-piece assembly, it is straightforward to put together using three different Allen keys, making the process accessible to trained carers, therapists, and facility staff. Designed for practicality, the unit is supplied with castors for smooth relocation, allowing the frame to be positioned where required while maintaining structural integrity. This mobility also makes it perfect for situations where only occasional lifting support is necessary, such as respite stays, community care, temporary placements, and holiday accommodation.

Each gantry is available in multiple standard lengths—3050mm, 3400mm, and 3800mm—with custom lengths available on request, ensuring suitability for varied room sizes and lifting spaces. All lengths must comply with maximum span guidelines, with 3400mm suitable for loads up to 205kg, and 3800mm for up to 180kg. The gantry’s strong construction supports a maximum lifting capacity of 205kg across appropriate spans, offering peace of mind when managing patient transfers. Safety is reinforced by the requirement to use the gantry only on level ground; operating it on an angle may compromise stability. Additionally, the lift must only be used when the patient is positioned inside the outer frame of the stand, ensuring proper alignment and safe lift operation.

A standout feature of the GoLift Freestanding Gantry is its compatibility with any GoLift trolley, making the system truly adaptable to existing equipment setups. Its 4-point contact design allows auto-levelling on uneven flooring, offering a smooth and balanced operation even in areas where floor surfaces may vary slightly. Designed to support practical workflow, the gantry system is also handset-charging compatible, with an optional wall-mounted charging dock available for facilities that prefer a fixed charging point. This allows users to maintain uninterrupted operation throughout the day.

The gantry is simple to assemble, requiring just two people and a short amount of time, making it highly suitable for environments that require quick deployment, such as hospitals, home care settings, equipment loan pools, and therapy clinics. Assembly is broken down into three clear steps. Step 1 involves lining up the holes in the foot with the threaded holes on the post and securing them with 3/6-18 x 1″ socket cap screws. Step 2 requires standing the two posts upright and lowering the track assembly into place; a tight, straight fit ensures optimal stability. Step 3 involves aligning the mounting holes and using 3/8″ socket cap screws to secure the track, with caps pressed over screws for a neat finish. The entire set-up typically takes around five minutes, allowing the equipment to be ready for use rapidly.
