Portable lifting aid for safely moving clients
Patient Lifting Solutions – PLS
AR 200P – Portable ceiling lift
PLS produces lifting solutions for hospitals, nursing homes, and domestic environments. With the development of a portable ceiling lift, PLS can offer lifting solutions in more places within institutions. In combination with a guide rail and smart components (rotary, switch, coupling), a client can be comfortably moved, for example, from bed to toilet.
Weight reduction while maintaining function and safety
The biggest challenge was achieving a 40% weight reduction compared to existing systems without losing functionality, quality, and safety. Since the lift hangs from the rail system with a single hook, all components had to be balanced to keep the lift horizontal during lifting.
To meet these requirements, the entire product structure was reviewed. Thanks to the design of a new basic frame with tiltable lifting arms, new battery technology, and the optimization of the component principles, the desired weight reduction was achieved. In a test setup, the required lifting strength of the prototype was demonstrated.
