About this category
Types of ceiling hoist track
Ceiling hoist track systems come in a few different layouts, suited to different rooms and levels of coverage.
Straight track systems
A single straight track covering one room, suited to more straightforward transfer needs.
Room-to-room & curved track systems
Extend coverage between rooms, such as bedroom to bathroom, for more continuous support throughout the day.
XY & H-track systems
Cover a wider area of a room using two-directional tracks, offering more flexible positioning for transfers.
Comfort, range and independence
Why choose a ceiling hoist
Ceiling hoists are designed to support safer, space-saving transfers at home, following a professional assessment and installation.
Frees up floor space
Unlike a mobile hoist, a ceiling hoist doesn't take up floor space, which can be especially helpful in smaller rooms.
Smooth, supported transfers
The motorised track system is designed to provide consistent, controlled movement during a transfer.
Room-to-room options
Track systems can sometimes extend between rooms, such as bedroom to bathroom, for more continuous support.
Reduces strain on carers
Removes much of the manual lifting involved in transfers, helping protect the wellbeing of carers and family members.
Buying guide
How to choose the right ceiling hoist
Ceiling hoists involve a structural installation, so it's essential to work through these steps with the right professionals.
1
Get a professional assessment
Speak to an occupational therapist about your moving and handling needs, and arrange a structural survey to confirm a ceiling hoist is feasible in your home.
2
Plan your track layout
Decide whether you need a single-room track, a room-to-room system, or wider coverage, based on the assessment of your daily routine.
3
Check funding options
Ask your local council or OT about potential support through a Disabled Facilities Grant or other local authority and NHS funding routes.
4
Arrange professional installation and inspection
Have the hoist installed by a qualified professional, and put in place a regular inspection and servicing schedule from the outset.

Common questions
Ceiling hoists: your questions answered
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about ceiling hoists.
What is a ceiling hoist?
A ceiling hoist is a fixed track system installed into the ceiling or supporting structure, with a motorised unit that travels along the track to lift and move a person using a compatible sling.
Can a ceiling hoist be installed in any room?
Not without checking first. The ceiling or structure needs to be able to support the load involved, so a professional structural survey and installation assessment is essential before fitting a ceiling hoist. This isn't a DIY installation.
How is a ceiling hoist installed and funded?
Ceiling hoists are usually recommended following an assessment by an occupational therapist, and installation should always be carried out by a qualified installer. Funding may sometimes be available through a Disabled Facilities Grant or local authority and NHS support, though eligibility and process vary by area, so it's worth speaking to your local council or OT for guidance.
Do ceiling hoists need regular inspection?
Yes, ceiling hoists are lifting equipment and should be thoroughly examined regularly by a competent person, commonly every six months under LOLER (the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), alongside any servicing recommended by the manufacturer.
Am I eligible for VAT relief on a ceiling hoist?
If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on an eligible ceiling hoist. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration, though it's worth checking with your supplier or installer how this applies to both the equipment and any installation costs.
