Ceiling Hoist Track Systems

Safe, smooth transfers with a ceiling track solution

A ceiling hoist, combined with a well-designed ceiling track system, can transform daily transfers for patients and caregivers. When mobility is limited, moving from the bed to a chair, wheelchair, commode or walking frame can feel physically demanding and unsafe. A ceiling track system reduces the need for multiple lifts, allowing caregivers to guide the person smoothly through the room (or even between rooms) with far less effort.

Ceiling hoists run along a fixed or flexible track installed overhead. This approach keeps floor space clear, improves safety and creates a reliable lifting path. At Active Mobility, we stock a wide variety of ceiling track components, hoists, and accessories, making it easier to build a solution that fits your space, care needs, and budget.

From power lifters and single-track layouts to long rail runs, curves, turntables and door connectors, our ceiling lift track systems are designed with safety, comfort and functionality in mind. You can shop our range online or speak with our team about adding specific items to create a complete system.

Ceiling track systems for homes, hospitals and larger facilities

A ceiling track can be installed in almost any room, offering flexibility for residential care, hospitals, therapy spaces and aged care facilities. With the right rail length and accessories, a ceiling track system allows caregivers to complete transfers with minimal strain and maximum control.

Active Mobility supplies a wide range of overhead track components to support safe installation and day-to-day use.

• Door connectors help move a patient between rooms without additional lifts.
• Curve modules and straight rails allow you to customise track layouts to suit the size and shape of your space.
• Multi-port turntables provide multiple take-off points, allowing the hoist to change direction when needed.
   

Each product is designed to improve safety for both the patient and the caregiver, reducing fall risks and creating smoother, more predictable transfers.

A ceiling lift track designed for strength and comfort

Ceiling hoists are a popular choice for patient mobility because they keep weight off the caregiver’s hands and offer stable, powered lifting assistance. Many systems support high safe working loads (up to 300kg, depending on the rail and hoist combination), making them suitable for a wide range of patients.

A ceiling lift track system also allows long, continuous transfers without repositioning. This can improve patient comfort, reduce anxiety and limit the need for manual handling.

Whether you need a single-room track, a double-room configuration or a full-facility system, our range offers strong, reliable options.

FAQs

Can ceiling hoists be installed in homes as well as facilities?

Yes. Ceiling track systems are commonly installed in private homes, hospitals, therapy rooms and aged care facilities. Home users often prefer ceiling tracks because they remove bulky floor lifters and make transfers safer in smaller spaces. As long as the ceiling structure can support the load and the track length is suitable for the room size, installation is straightforward.

What are the benefits of a ceiling lift track compared to a floor lifter?

A ceiling track offers smoother transfers, improved safety and easier operation. Because the hoist runs overhead, there’s no need to manoeuvre a floor lifter around furniture, chairs or tight spaces. Carergivers experience less physical strain, and the person being lifted enjoys a more comfortable, continuous transfer.

Can a ceiling track system be used to move a patient between rooms?

Yes. With door connectors or multi-port turntables, a ceiling hoist can travel from one room to another, enabling seamless movement without the need for additional lifts. This reduces manual handling risks and maintains a predictable and controlled transfer process.

Are ceiling hoists suitable for bariatric patients?

Many ceiling track products are designed to support high safe working loads, often up to 300kg, depending on the track and hoist combination. Our team can help you select the correct system for bariatric care.

What accessories are available for ceiling track systems?

We offer a wide variety of accessories, including curves, straight rails, turntables, connectors, charge points and compatible slings. These items allow you to customise the system to your space and your patient’s needs.

Can Active Mobility assist in designing my ceiling track layout?

Absolutely. Our team can review your room size, mobility requirements and installation needs to recommend the most suitable track configuration and ceiling hoist.
