The room-covering rail system
The room-covering rail system comprises two parallel rails
installed on the ceiling, the wall or on freestanding wall
studs. A traverse rail runs between the parallel rails. The
hoist itself glides backwards and forwards on the undersi-
de of the traverse rail in a travelling trolley. The mechanism
is called a travelling trolley and has castors that run inside
the track. The horizontal movement is a sliding motion that
is comfortable for the user.
The room-covering system makes it possible to lift the
disabled person to and from any place in the room and
is the optimum solution in rooms where many lifts are
carried out.
Installing a room-covering system saves space and pro-
vides an extremely high degree of freedom. The bed, a
wheelchair and the other furniture in the room can be
placed as desired and lifting can be carried out rapidly,
easily and comfortably both with regard to the carer and
the disabled person.
In addition the planner has considerable freedom to design
the rooms in the building – both because the system saves
space and because it offers flexibility when lifting a person.
In some cases the parallel rails can be built into the ceiling
so that only the lower part of them is visible.
