A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your Ceiling Hoist System with Medaco
At Medaco, we understand how important it is to have safe, reliable, and easy-to-use mobility equipment. That’s why we’ve created a clear, step-by-step process for designing, supplying, installing, and maintaining ceiling hoist systems and baths tailored to your specific needs.
From your first consultation to hands-on training, we make the process smooth, stress-free, and completely focused on your care environment.
Step 1 – Consultation:
Every project begins with a personal consultation. We take time to understand your requirements, assess your space, and discuss your goals. This ensures that every part of your system works perfectly for the people who use it every day.
Step 2 – Site Survey and Custom Design:
There are many different ceiling hoist systems available for care environments. Choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. That’s where Medaco comes in.
Our team advises on best practices for system design based on:
-
The layout of your rooms and the track design needed
-
The available fixings and supports
-
The functionality of the hoist and track
We make sure the system fits the environment, meets safety standards, and supports both users and carers.

Step 4– Supply High Quality Equipment:
Because we work with a wide range of leading ceiling hoist manufacturers, we can supply the best solution to suit your needs and budget.
There are many ceiling hoist options on the market, and it can be hard to know which one is right for you. However, our experts can guide you through the latest innovations and specifications to find the perfect match based on:
-
The needs of the user and carer
-
The type of environment
-
Your available budget
Not all systems need a full replacement. For example, if your ceiling hoist pod receives heavy use or has been discontinued, we can often replace just the pod. There are many pod options compatible with different tracks. No matter your current setup, Medaco can help you find a cost-effective and reliable solution.
Step 5 – Ceiling hoist track installation:
If you choose a new installation, Medaco will manage the entire process from start to finish.
Our engineers visit your site to complete a full survey and ensure all specifications meet your environment’s requirements. In addition, we provide clear guidance to your builders or maintenance team about any preparatory work needed.
Once everything is ready, Medaco’s fully trained engineers install your system within the agreed timeframe – with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Step 6 – Ceiling hoist track service and maintenance:
Regular servicing and preventative maintenance are vital to keeping your ceiling hoist system safe and fully functional.
We understand the inconvenience caused when key equipment is out of use. Therefore, Medaco offers a comprehensive service and maintenance contract to:
-
Prolong your system’s lifespan
-
Reduce the cost of emergency callouts
-
Minimise downtime and disruption
With regular inspections and professional support, you can trust your equipment to work smoothly and safely every day.
