Clinical Applications
The following are ceiling lift coverage recommendations by clinical unit/area. The coverage recommendations should be
considered advisory and are not intended to be used as regulatory or accreditation requirements. The information in this table
however, may be used to support overhead lift recommendations with consideration to patient needs by clinical unit/area.
Insufficient coverage of patients or clinical unit/area presents an risk for staff or patient injury.

Planning, Design and Installation Flow
During the Planning Phase
Determine the lifting needs of the facility
• Which type of rooms require lift system(s)?
• What type of lift system is required for each type of room?
• What percentage of rooms require lift systems?
• What percentage of those rooms require bariatric capability?

Once the lifting needs of the facility have been established contact your Hill-Rom sales representative to get some budgetary
costs for the project and compare the numbers with the facility’s project budget.
*The lift system support method (see section on System Anatomy and Support Components starting on page 16) may impact the installation costs and coordination requirements with
mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP). Consider the various methods for supporting the lift system(s) to best meet the project and needs of the facility.
*Also consider the various esthetic solutions to hide the lift system such as recessing the rails, recessing the wall supports and utilizing a cabinet to store the lift motor.

During the Design Phase

Preliminary Design – If completing a preliminary design, reference the typical system designs shown in this guide and found
on the below listed support website links. If needed, Hill-Rom can provide a preliminary lift system layout in AutoCAD to
overlay into the building plans. Hill-Rom also offers standard room configurations in Revit on Hill-Rom’s Design Portal at
www.caddetails.com/hillrom.
• Hill-Rom recommends to incorporate the lift system layout prior to designing the ceiling grid, HVAC and other such equipment. The lift systems
are typically aligned (possibly recessed) with the grid and will require coordination with lighting, diffusers, sprinklers and other such equipment.

Request For Quote (RFQ) – If requesting a quote from Hill-Rom, provide the building plans in AutoCAD format for each floor
requiring lift systems. If available, provide floor plans, reflective ceiling plans, interior elevation details and building sections.

solution to provide basic patient transfers.
The traverse system is the most common type of rail system
and offers the most flexibility for patient care.

Single Rail Option Traverse System Option

There are also free-standing systems which are good

alternatives to ceiling-mounted overhead lifts. In some cases,
a free-standing system is ideal if you want to try using an
overhead lift but do not wish to install permanent fixtures in
the walls and ceiling. In other cases, the need for lifting may
only be temporary, or you may wish to avoid a permanent
installation for other reasons. With a freestanding system,
there are no special structural strength requirements for the
walls or the ceiling.

Details on the free-standing system are not included in this

guide. For more information, contact your local Hill-Rom
representative.

issues surrounding heavy lifting, the
UltraTwin™ system was developed.

Bariatric patients vary greatly in their

size and shape depending on height,
weight, and how that weight is carried.
Physical conditions are unique to
each patient particular to skin folds,
abdomen size (pannus), and larger,
heavy body parts. The maximum safe
working load of a single-motor system
offered by Hill-Rom is 550 lbs. While a
number of other manufacturers offer
a single motor system for patients in
excess of 550 lbs., Hill-Rom has found
that patients in excess of 550 lbs
often times exceed the comfort level
provided by a single-motor system.
Patients of this size may be compressed
by the sling attached to a single motor
which does not accommodate the girth
of the patient/patient’s abdomen. This
could present comfort issues, but also
difficulties in breathing.

In addition, a single attachment point

for the sling (as found with many other
manufacturers) does not offer the ability
to tilt the patient in space which limits
the user’s ability to make the patient
comfortable. Hill-Rom’s UltraTwin™
system with two motors on separate
points of attachment accommodates
the extra girth common with patients
exceeding 550 lbs, mitigating pressure
on the patient’s chest and providing
optimal positioning. Click to see the UltraTwist™

Ceiling Mounted Lift System Configurations

Basic Single Rail Basic Single Rail Curving into Headwall

A basic single rail system allows a lifting area that is directly below the rail and is used to lift and move between two fixed
points. The inclusion of a curve in the rail is possible and will allow for storage options for the motor, such as into a headwall or
cabinet. Above are two examples of ceiling mounted, standard single rail lift system configurations.

Wall Bracket/Upright Support
Rail attachment components in a suspended system are wall brackets or upright supports. For both these solutions, bayonet
rails are necessary as a connection between the attachments and the rail.

Upright Support Bayonet Rail Wall Bracket – Turntable Wall Bracket – Parallel

Wall Bracket/Upright Support Application

Installation with Slimline Upright Supports is a good option

when the ceiling and the walls can’t bear the weight from
the rail system. If you are the least uncertain of the material
of the ceiling and the walls, Slimline is the safest installation
alternative. Installation with Slimline affects the building
minimally, and it can easily be restored to its previous state
when the rail system is removed.

Rails
Liko has five different rail models H70, H100, H140, H160 and H180. The strength is related to the height H (mm) of the rail
profile. A larger height (H) increases the strength of the rail. All rails are made out of anodized aluminum and they are available
in two colors; white and natural aluminum. These rail models are used in different combination in all Liko Overhead systems.

H70 Rail H100 Rail 140 Rail H160 Rail H180 Rail
70mm (2.75") 100mm (4") 140mm (5.5") 160mm (6.25") 180mm (7")

Notes:
• Switches only work with H70 Rail
• 90 & 45 degree curves are only available as H70 Rail
• H180 cannot be pendant mounted

Rail Application

All rails are equipped with end stops and end bolts to retain the motor carriages within the rail

20
Traverse Rail Carriers
Liko has various models of traverse rail carriers for different installation solutions. It is important to choose the correct width of
traverse rail carrier, which is based upon the distance between the primary rails in the traverse system, which allows a secure,
smooth and easy movement of the secondary rail. The result of a traverse installation with traverse rail carriers that aren’t wide
enough is a bumpy asynchronous motion when moving the secondary rail.
