On a ceiling hoist, the trolley is the carriage the motor sits in. The Molift Air Propulsion Trolley drives that carriage along the rail under power, controlled from the same hand control that raises and lowers the client.
The gain is straightforward: the carer keeps both hands on the person instead of pushing a loaded hoist across a room. That matters most when someone is working alone, or managing lines, oxygen or a sling at the same time as steering.
The motor grips into the trolley and releases again without tools, so one hoist can be shared between rails in different rooms, and the trolley comes off for servicing just as easily.
Who it suits
A client hoisted several times a day on a ceiling track, where the carer is working alone or has to manage lines, oxygen or a sling with both hands. It also helps in long rail runs and in traverse (H-frame) systems where pushing a loaded hoist across the room is heavy work. For a short rail over a single bed with an able carer, the standard manual trolley (article 2520000) does the job at much lower cost.
Good to know
- Sold as the trolley only; the Molift Air motor, rail and hand control are separate
- An in-rail charging (IRC) propulsion version, article 2520006, is available for rails with IRC
- Installation is by a trained ceiling hoist technician; ask us about site assessment
