Overhead or ceiling-mounted patient lifts are rolling lifting motors that are connected to track systems above. These tracks can be permanently mounted to the ceiling structure or suspended by upright supports. Systems can be designed to span a room with a single track, cover multiple rooms, or form a traverse system that enables the lift to cover an entire room.

Patient lifts are primarily used to aid caretakers in lifting individuals between wheelchairs, toilets, showers, beds, or lower an individual onto the floor.

These systems are not limited to transporting and lifting, though. A great use of these systems is gait training exercises that can be performed while in the lift. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of slings, scales, and other devices that can be used to customize your patient lift and accommodate your specific needs. These lifts can be applied in bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, or even over swimming pools. The track systems can span entire floors of homes or be separated into different rooms where removable (transportable) lifting motors can be applied.

All of the lifts that Accessible America offers are battery operated and require minimal effort to use and maintain.

To optimize the lifts function, we provide slings that are precisely fitted. These slings come in several materials ranging from extremely soft lamb's wool, to a mesh fabric for bathing, and everything in between. Slings can also be customized per the individual's needs to lift them in certain positions, such as supine or seated, can include head support, and can be formed to avoid contact with specific pressure points. Each sling is selected to accommodate an individual's needs and usage.

Overhead patient lifting systems have countless configurations and are extremely specific to an individual's needs. Accessible America's technicians are factory-trained, certified, and highly skilled in assessing and installing these products.

As with all of our products, we strive to offer you the most innovative, reliable, and high-quality brands to meet your unique situation and budget.
