There are two primary rail configurations, the Room Covering system ( x-y gantry) or the Single Rail system. Both can be configured to do patient transfers through doorways into bathrooms and down the hall.

Room Covering System

Single Rail Straight

 Single Rail Curve
The Room Covering System offers the greatest flexibility in transfers within a defined area underneath the rail system. The care staff do not need to move or re-arrange furnishings in order to transfer, log roll, reposition or ambulate the patient.
The Straight Single Rail system is more limiting in transfers and restricts the transfer area to directly underneath the rail. It often requires rearranging furnishings to do a transfer.This application is ideal in Emergency Departments and Operating Rooms.
The Curved Single Rail system is similar to the Straight Single Rail System. In addition, it allows for parking the hoist against a wall away from traffic when not in use.

All our ceiling anchor options are designed to meet current seismic codes prevalent on the West Coast. We still recomend stamped structural drawings when retrofitting an existing facility.

There are three basic types of ceiling anchor based on the type of ceiling decking:

Concrete Pan deck anchor

Concrete Joist span

Concrete Span Flutes anchor

Concrete Pan Deck Bracket with Stabilizer

Concrete Joist Span using Bracket, Stabilizer, Bent plates and unistrut

Concrete Span Flutes using Bracket, Stabilizer and unistrut

When ceiling anchors are not feasible due to limited access access in the ceiling, we offer two options for anchoring rails:

Wall Bracket above

WallBracket Below
Wall Profile
Wall Brackets are ideal in new construction since they require the use of engineered studs behind the dry wall. The bracket may go above or underneath the rail. It is recommended to place it underneath to maximize load capacity of the rail system.

Wall Profiles are a better option for retrofits since they do not require engineered supports behind dry wall.

The upright support brackets can be supplied with various types of adapter that make it possible to lead profiles around such obstacles as cables, headwall panels or baseboard
