The GH1 is a compact and reliable ceiling hoist designed for routine lifting in care, education, healthcare, and home environments. Available with 175 kg, 205 kg, and 255 kg Safe Working Loads, it provides a practical solution for most day-to-day transfer requirements, and is ideally suited to home care or lighter usage environments.
The hoist charges via a wall-mounted docking station using the handset, keeping controls protected and ensuring the lifting module remains ready for use. A fully charged unit delivers multiple lifting cycles, supporting frequent use in primary and secondary care settings.
Compatible with a wide range of track configurations, the GH1 ceiling hoist can be installed on full-room H-frame and combination systems, straight ceiling-mounted tracks, wall-mounted tracks, or wall-post systems where structural support is limited. A quick-release version (GH1Q) is also available for installations where the hoist needs to be removed or redeployed.
Designed to be discreet and easy to operate, the GH1 ceiling hoist offers dependable performance in environments where safe handling, coordination with services, and ease of maintenance are essential.

The GH1 is available in 175 kg, 205 kg, and 255 kg SWL variants.
The GH1 can be installed on full-room H-frame systems, straight ceiling-mounted tracks, wall-mounted tracks, or wall-post systems where structural support is limited. It is also compatible with combination layouts and turntables from the Guldmann rail range.
The hoist and track must be fixed to a load-bearing structure, such as timber joists, steel beams, or reinforced ceiling supports. For wall-mounted or wall-post systems, structural verification should be carried out during design to ensure adequate load paths.
The GH1 ceiling hoist charges via a wall-mounted docking station using the handset. This keeps electronics protected and ensures the lifting module remains charged without requiring in-rail charging infrastructure.
While designed for everyday lifting, the GH1 is generally recommended for light to moderate usage environments such as home care, smaller clinical spaces, schools, and therapy rooms. For very high-frequency public use (e.g., Changing Places), the GH3 ceiling hoist may be preferred.
Yes. BIM/Revit families and CAD drawings are available for the GH1 and associated track systems, supporting clash detection, ceiling coordination, and M&E integration.
Yes. The GH1 requires LOLER inspections every six months. Architects should allow suitable access for maintenance and ensure track layouts support safe engineer access.
The GH1 has a compact profile and is suitable for most standard ceiling heights. Specific clearance requirements depend on the sling type, user needs, and track configuration and should be confirmed during detailed design.
