Overview
The primary classes of lifts are:
 |
Floor (Rolling) Model Lifts |
| Ceiling Lifts |
Floor model lifts roll on casters and are designed to
perform different functions. Horcher floor
model lifts have many features to assist the caregiver and provide comfort
to the patient.
Floor Model Lift
Benefits:
| Horcher lifts use industrial casters to
facilitate rolling on uneven surfaces. |
| Floor model lifts are available for
special lifting applications. For example, the Horcher
Raisa™
lift is a sit-to-stand lift. The Horcher
Diana™ Comfort lift features a swiveling mast so the lift
can parallel park and anchor next to a tub or bed. |
| The Horcher floor model lifts have a range of features such
as superior lifting height, lift leg spreading, multiple models to
handle different patient weights and the motorized patient positioner for
the Lexa lift.
|
Ceiling lifts run on "tracks" installed in the ceiling of
your home/facility. They are the most versatile, convenient and least
obtrusive types of lifts. Within the ceiling lift class of lift, there
are installed lifts and portable lifts. Ceiling lifts are easy to use,
safe and the least cumbersome to use of all lift types.
Ceiling Lift Benefits:
| Patient moves freely on the ceiling lift track with
little, if any, exertion. Powered movement on the track is
available. |
| Ceiling Lifts do not take up floor space and do not
require turning space. No need to move furniture. Can
pass through narrow passage ways and around corners. |
| Ceiling lifts are out of the way, when not in use.
When you're not using your ceiling lift, the lift can be powered to an out
of the way location. Only the unobstrusive track is then visible to
your guests. |
| Ceiling lifts do not have "legs" so they can go over
things a rolling lift could not, such as tubs, beds without under-bed
space, etc. |
| Ceiling Lifts can fit in small bathrooms, bedrooms,
etc. and can be installed over pools or hot tubs. |
| Lift can be performed by one caregiver, without
caregiver injury/strain. |
| More patient moves can be accomplished due to ease of
lifting. |
| Creative track configurations can give the patient
access to any part of their home or a facility. |
| Portable ceiling lift can be used in multiple
locations. |
