The expert in moving and handling
As the expert in moving and handling Molift
supports caretakers by providing them with
the greatest possible relief of loads on the job,
thereby helping them avoid strain injuries. The
caretakers will enjoy and improved life without
injuries, and the user will experience that the
caretakers have additional energy to provide
tender loving care and nursing.
Too much strain can result in irreparable dam-
age. Many caretakers suffer injuries to the mus-
culoskeletal system as a result of lifting and
moving patients.
We claim that the well-being of a user depends
on whether the caretaker is well. Through un-
derstanding when strain injuries arise and by
working using the right techniques plus the
proper equipment, the caretakers will benefit
from a better life, on the job and at home, and improved health. The users will not have to suc-
cumb to a constant flow of new, unknown substitutes and low staffing owing to caretakers acutely
reporting in sick. The employer will get healthy employee with less sickness absence and society
will benefit from increased productivity and reduced costs.
In most countries it is compulsory that employers place the required resources at the disposal of
their employees, to help them avoid physical strain.
Nursing homes/hospitals designed with pre-mounted ceiling hoist systems benefit greatly from
these devices. They are easy to use for the caretakers and the patients feel comfortable with them.
They are easily accessible, prevent lifting injuries – and are not in the way when not in use.
Molift has supplied ceiling hoist systems for many years and has now developed an entirely new
rail system, Molift Rail System. It is simple to mount and at the same time we have adapted it to
our high standards for design and user friendliness. The system can be mounted openly or in built-
in versions in a lowered ceiling.
It is our hope that you – when planning a new building within the care sector – will find this man-
ual to be of use in your work. Here you will find different alternatives adjusted to patient needs as
well as technical specifications and definitions which will hopefully contribute to making your job
easier.
