The
P-600
lift is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift, posi-
tion and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The
P-600
lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift tech-
nology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling lift
does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift makes it possible to
move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safe-
ty, dignity and comfort for the client or family member.
The
P-600
lift is one of four major components that make up this technology. The other three components are
the track, trolley and sling. The
P-600
lift runs on the lift track which is securely mounted to the ceiling struc-
ture of the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed alu-
minum and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to
meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that
attaches to the lift by means of a integral carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning
or transfer takes place. The fourth component, the trolley, is mounted inside the track and has wheels that allow
the lift to move along the track. The lift attaches to the trolley by means of the eyelet of the trolley. The track,
trolley and sling are supplied with the lift at the initial time of purchase.
The
P-600
lift is a portable ceiling lift. It is designed to be easily moved from one track location to another.
Track are typically installed in the bedroom, bathroom and/or the living room. The
P-600
lift has the ability to
lift an individual up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and
finally lower the individual into a chair or bathtub. It is moved along the track manually with the aid of a care-
giver. The functions of lifting up or down are accomplished by pressing the buttons of a pneumatically (air) op-
erated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way of a rubber airline tubing. The
P-600
lift is
powered by batteries and it is supplied with an easy to use battery charger.
