Discreet Ceiling Hoist Installation at a Mother and Baby Unit
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving healthcare environments through smart, user-centred solutions, we recently completed a bespoke ceiling hoist installation at a Hospital’s Mother and Baby Unit.
Project Overview
The client’s primary objective was clear. To install an incognito ceiling hoist system that would discreetly support mothers with limited mobility, allowing safe and comfortable transfers from the bed to a chair or birthing pool. The system needed to blend seamlessly into the space, maintaining a calming and unobtrusive environment.
The Vision
Unique Challenges
What made this project particularly unique was the height of the birthing pool sides, which required a significantly higher lifting range than standard installations. This demand led us to design and fit a tailored solution that maximised lift height while remaining discreet and functional.
Addressing Client Needs
Before the installation, the client faced several challenges:
- They required a supplier already approved by their construction contractor.
- Strict compliance with regulatory standards was non-negotiable.
- The installation needed to align precisely with the contractor’s specifications.
Our team worked closely with all stakeholders to ensure full compliance and clear communication at every stage.
Solution and Customisation
To meet both functional and aesthetic needs, we installed an integral tracking system. This custom approach allowed us to achieve the required lift height while keeping the system as discreet as possible, ensuring it was easy for hospital staff to operate and maintain.
Project Timeline
From initial contact to final installation, the project was completed over 12 months, allowing time for collaboration, approvals, and custom design elements.
Future Planning
A proposed service contract ensures the client will have full support moving forward, including maintenance and potential upgrades.
