The property was inspected and it was decided to use just 1 hoist with a turntable in the system to give access to all areas required rather than separate hoists in bedroom and bathroom to reduce the need for transfers.
To achieve this the section of wall above the bathroom door would need to be removed, the light tube within the bathroom would need to be blanked off and one of the downlights would need to be moved. After further investigation it was found that the wall section was non-structural and not load-bearing.
The loft and joist above were inspected and found to be sufficient to take the weight of the hoist and it’s SWL.
Our electrician arrived and installed a charging point above the toilet and moved the down light across so that it no longer impeded the hoist track.
Next the installation team arrived and covered all work areas and walkways with protective plastic sheeting.
The door, door frame and wall section were removed and the holes where the light had been moved and the light tube were filled with plaster board. A hole was cut in the bathroom ceiling and the turntable was installed to allow access to both the bath and the toilet. The straight tracks were fitted leading out from the turntable over the bath, toilet and through to the bedroom and across the bed. The whole system was fitted using Unistrut’s in the loft space, spreading the load across the joists. The hoist was fitted to the rail system and the charger wired in. The entire system was then checked and tested to 110% of its SWL as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The bathroom ceiling was made good and a new door frame to take a 2400mm high door was installed. The bathroom was then completely decorated in the colours specified by the client.
All the protective coverings were removed and the work area thoroughly cleaned and then returned to the client.
Full instruction was given on how the hoist worked and charged before our team left and we had another very satisfied customer.
