Benefits of a Free Standing Overhead Lift Gantry System

Whether used in the home without permanently altering room structure or used in a healthcare facility such as a hospital or care facility, free standing overhead lift gantry systems offer a safe patient transfer and lift solution when permanent solutions may not be available or an option.

Several benefits include:

  • Flexibility - Can be moved from one room to another, making it ideal for varying needs or different patient lifts such as bed to chair, toilet to chair, or wheelchair to chair.
  • Lower Cost Lift System - Provides a temporary lifting solution without the need for installing fixed lift system.
  • Ease of Use - User-friendly with straightforward controls and operation, making it accessible for various users.
  • Safety - promotes safe patient handling to help prevent injuries to both patients and caregivers.

When choosing to use a lift gantry system, it is important to be mindful of the following considerations:

  • Weight Capacity - Understand the weight restrictions for both the gantry itself and the portable lift being used.
  • Setup Area - While having a fairly minimal footprint, it is important to make sure that the lift gantry has enough space to be set up properly and used efficiently.
  • Training - While systems like these are fairly straight forward to set up and use, it is important to receive proper training, as well as any ongoing repeat of the training to keep you and your patient safe while using.
  • Maintenance - Regular inspections of the gantry structure itself, along with routine evaluations of the portable lift being used will help keep everyone safe. Be sure to always look for signs of wear and tear.
