Lift options
Choose the right patient lift for your home
Every home and care situation is different. Mobility Equipment of Lexington can help you compare fixed, portable, freestanding, and mobile patient lift systems.
Ceiling Lifts
Ceiling-mounted patient lifts use an overhead track to move the user smoothly between transfer points. They are a strong option for frequent daily transfers and rooms where floor space is limited.
Best for: bedrooms, bathrooms, long-term care needs, and reducing caregiver strain.
Freestanding Gantry Lifts
A gantry lift provides overhead lifting support without permanent ceiling installation. These systems are helpful when structural modifications are not practical.
Best for: rentals, temporary needs, bedrooms, and homes where ceiling mounting is not possible.
Hoyer & Mobile Lifts
Mobile Hoyer-style lifts are compact, flexible transfer solutions that roll where needed. Many models include powered lift operation, foldable frames, and bariatric options.
Best for: flexible room-to-room use, home care, and caregiver-assisted transfers.

Patient lift FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a patient lift?
A patient lift is a device that helps caregivers transfer someone who cannot safely stand, walk, or move independently between surfaces.
What is the difference between a ceiling lift and a Hoyer lift?
A ceiling lift uses an overhead track and keeps the lifting system off the floor. A Hoyer-style lift is usually a mobile floor lift that rolls between transfer locations.
Can patient lifts be used for bed-to-wheelchair transfers?
Yes. Many patient lifts are designed for bed-to-wheelchair, chair, toilet, bath, and shower-chair transfers.
Do patient lifts have weight limits?
Yes. Weight capacity depends on the model. Many common systems support approximately 440–600 pounds, with bariatric options available for higher-capacity needs.
Do I need a ceiling-mounted system?
Not always. Ceiling lifts are excellent for frequent transfers, but freestanding gantry lifts and mobile Hoyer lifts may work better when permanent installation is not desired.
Can patient lifts be used in bathrooms?
Yes. Depending on the home layout and lift type, patient lifts can support bathroom, toileting, bathing, and shower-chair transfers.
