GH1F Hoist and Track
Portable ceiling hoists reduce maintenance costs, and mean that assets can be utilised to their maximum capacity. However, until now, portable ceiling hoist have resulted in additional manual handling for the staff – the new GH1F changes all that.
The GH1F has a transport trolley so that staff do not have to carry it around the facility, it also attaches and detaches from the track automatically eliminating the need for staff to stretch and attach the hoist manually. The automatic attachment is failsafe, reducing user error and increasing safety. The GH1F can be fitted to almost any track layout, making it a flexible and cost effective alternative to a fixed hoist in every room.
Flexible, Transportable & Reliable
A portable ceiling hoist that can be transferred from track to track with no manual handling
The GH1F transportable ceiling hoist is a unique solution. Transportable ceiling hoists reduce maintenance costs and mean that assets can be utilised to their maximum capacity. However, until now, a portable ceiling hoist has meant additional manual handling for the staff – the new GH1F changes all that. The GH1F has a transport trolley so that staff do not have to carry it around the facility, it also attaches and detaches from the track automatically eliminating the need for staff to stretch and attach the hoist manually. The automatic attachment is failsafe, reducing user error, and maintaining safety at all stages of the attachment and detachment process.
The GH1F can be fitted to almost any track layout – offering a flexible and cost effective alternative to a fixed hoist in every room. With SWL’s of either 175kg (27.5 stone), 200kg (31.5 stone) and 255kg (39 stone), the GH1F transportable ceiling hoist can be used for heavier patients. therefore making it a very flexible option.
Offering all the benefits of a ceiling hoist, but without the costs traditionally associated with a ceiling hoist, the GH1F is a truly innovative solution that will reduce risks and save money.
The GH1 is available in different configurations;
The GH1 is a compact ceiling hoist that will blend into any environment. Featuring a modern design, with soft edges, it is ideally suited to the homecare environment, or areas of less intensive usage. Click here for details on the GH1.
The GH1Q features a quick attachment and detachment solution, for times when a hoist may only need to be in position for a medium length of time. The GH1Q can be easily removed from the track without tools, meaning maintenance and re-installation is extremely simple. Click here for details on the GH1Q.
Safe
The GH1F attaches/detaches from the track using an automatic failsafe mechanism operated from the hand control eliminating user error.
Discreet
The GH1F attaches to a discreet trolley mounted on the track, so when the hoist is not in use the visual impact is minimised.
Transportable
The GH1F is transported using a bespoke transport trolley. This protects the hoist, reducing caregiver strain. A charger is built in for simple safe recharging.
Powerful
The GH1F is available in 175kg (27.5st), 205kg (32st) or 255kg (40st) versions, enabling it to be used for the most demanding applications.
FAQs
What is the GH1F ceiling hoist?
The GH1F is a portable ceiling hoist module that can be transferred between multiple rooms using its dedicated transport trolley. It auto-attaches to the rail system without manual lifting, reducing handling risks for staff.
What Safe Working Load (SWL) options are available?
The GH1F is available in 205 kg, and 255 kg versions, allowing the lifting capacity to be matched to the needs of different rooms or user groups.
How does the automatic attachment system work?
The hoist engages and disengages from the track automatically, without carers lifting or aligning the unit manually. This reduces the risk of strain injuries and reduces user error during connection.
What is the GH1F ceiling hoist?
The GH1F is a portable ceiling hoist module that can be transferred between multiple rooms using its dedicated transport trolley. It auto-attaches to the rail system without manual lifting, reducing handling risks for staff.
What track types is the GH1F ceiling hoist compatible with?
The GH1F can be used on most Guldmann straight tracks, ceiling-mounted tracks, wall-mounted tracks, and wall-post systems.
Note: It is not compatible with rail systems fitted with Combi-lock transfer units.
What structural support is required?
Although the hoist is portable, the rail systems must still be fixed to a load-bearing structure (steel, joists, or reinforced supports). Structural verification is required in the same way as for fixed hoists.
Can the GH1F hoist be used on H-frame / XY full room coverage systems?
The GH1F is generally used on straight-track systems where rooms share hoisting requirements. It can sometimes be used on multi-track systems, but compatibility should be checked during design.
What type of environments is the GH1F hoist best suited for?
The GH1F is ideal for care homes, therapy rooms, education settings, smaller clinics, and domestic properties where a single hoist may need to serve several rooms without installing a dedicated hoist in each space.
How does the GH1F ceiling hoist charge?
The hoist charges via a wall-mounted docking station using the handset. A fully charged unit is capable of multiple lifts during normal daily use.
Does moving the GH1F between rooms create additional workload?
No. The hoist is moved using a transport trolley, and the auto-attachment system eliminates lifting, carrying, or overhead reaching for staff.
Can the GH1F ceiling hoist be used as a long-term fixed hoist?
Yes, it provides the same lifting performance as the GH1, but its primary advantage is its ability to be transferred between rooms when needed.
Does the GH1F hoist require LOLER inspections?
Yes. As with all lifting equipment, the GH1F requires LOLER inspections every six months, including the track systems it connects to.
