Frequently Asked Questions About Ceiling Lifts

Most ceiling lifts support 400-600 lbs, with bariatric models supporting up to 1,000 lbs. The track system must be properly engineered for the expected load. Westin Healthcare ensures proper specification for your needs.

Ceiling lifts can be installed in bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, and between rooms with continuous track systems. Track configurations include straight runs, curved sections, and turntables for complex layouts.
