2.3 Mounting Molift Rail System
The way of mounting a ceiling lift system is based
on the specific materials and structural design on
each specific site.
Ceiling materials:
- Concrete; hollow core slabs or compact
layers
- Wood structures (requires reinforcements
between rafters)
- Light materials (LECA, Siporex etc)
Wall materials:
- Concrete
- Bricks
- Wood structure
- Light walls (Gyproc/plasterboards)
Upright supports:
- Upright supports are used where the exist-
ing structure or other installations does not
allow fixing in walls or ceiling.
Reinforcements to existing structues
- Reinforcements must be installed if the
existing building structure OR the materials
are too weak for the installation

structure with upright reinforcement between two
studs for mounting of wall bracket or wall rail.
