The question everyone is asking! With over 40 years of experience in service and maintenance of ceiling hoists, we’ve seen it all. We’ve worked across countless care facilities and challenging environments. Through this experience, we’ve learned what truly stands the test of time when it comes to ceiling hoists.

Here are the models we consider the most reliable – and why…

Liko 242

The Liko 242 continues to impress us, year after year. Its design has barely changed over time – and that’s a good thing. Here’s why we rate it so highly:

• Robust and Durable: Built with a strong aluminum casing, it’s made to withstand daily use in demanding environments.

• Simplicity That Works: The design is straightforward and proven, meaning fewer things can go wrong.

• Ideal for High-Use & Pool Environments: We’ve seen this model perform exceptionally well in high-humidity and high-demand areas – like hydrotherapy pools and busy care centers.

This hoist is a no-nonsense, dependable piece of equipment.

Molift Air

The Molift Air is a standout for its adaptability and modern features. It’s a well-engineered unit that fits a wide variety of care environments:

• Highly Compatible: It integrates easily with many different manufacturers’ rails thanks to its flexible trolley systems.

• Smart Features: It includes a clear battery indicator and programmable settings for safe working loads.

• Maintenance-Friendly: Engineers can access and service the unit quickly – reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

For facilities that want modern flexibility without sacrificing reliability, the Molift Air is a solid choice.

There are many ceiling hoists on the market, and the best one for your care facility will depend on your specific needs. However, from a maintenance and reliability standpoint, the Liko 242 and Molift Air consistently rise to the top in our experience.

When choosing equipment, think beyond the initial purchase – consider maintenance time, battery longevity, and how well the unit holds up under real-world use. Reliability isn’t just about specs – it’s about how something performs year after year.
