A rail system comprises one or more rails, which are
installed on the ceiling, the wall or on freestanding wall
studs.
The rail system is constructed in modules. This makes it
easy to create individual solutions and to adapt the system
to existing buildings. The modules are easy to handle
during fitting and transport. The flexible modules also make
the system suitable for recirculation.
Rail systems can be installed anywhere. Private homes,
hospitals, nursing homes, therapy clinics, riding centres
and swimming pools are just some of the places where a
rail system can help to improve the working environment
for carers and heighten the quality of life for the disabled.
A ceiling hoist system takes up no floor space, makes little
noise and is always ready for use.
A rail system can either be a room-covering system,
single track, or a combination of the two systems.
The ceiling hoist itself runs in the rail system.
All Guldmann’s ceiling hoists lift with the
help of a battery operated motor. The hoist is
equipped with a hanger to which the sling is
secured. The rail system that the hoist runs in
can be:
• A room-covering system
• Single track
• A combination of the two systems
The hoist is manually operated or with the help
of a remote-controlled drive-motor.
