Ceiling hoists are often specified, but not always fully considered. They're one of the most impactful long-term investments in moving and handling, and getting them right takes more than choosing the right equipment.



It requires an understanding of how the space will be used day-to-day, how transfers need to happen, and how different users, carers, and environments interact with the system.



We support projects from early design through to installation and beyond, helping ensure ceiling hoist systems are:

- correctly positioned within the space

- Coordinated with room layouts and building constraints

- designed to support safe, efficient transfers

- practical for both users and carers in everyday use



Because we’re involved across the full process, from assessment and design through to installation, training, and ongoing support, we’re able to focus on what actually works in real environments, and not just what looks right on paper.



Whether it’s a single room or a multi-room system, the details really matter, and when done properly, the difference it makes to safety, dignity, and efficiency is significant.



If you’re working on a project involving ceiling hoists, we’re always happy to talk through what will work best for your environment.

Not every access challenge needs a permanent platform lift so the Stepless LP11 offers a more flexible approach, providing a mobile platform lift solution for environments where step-free access is needed, but fixed installation is not the right fit.

With its lightweight construction, battery-powered operation and width-adjustable upper ramp, the LP11 is designed to be easy to move, position and operate, making it a practical option where accessibility needs may be temporary, occasional or changing over time.

That makes it particularly useful in settings where access needs to be improved without permanent building alterations, or where a portable solution offers greater flexibility day to day.

For organisations looking for a practical and adaptable way to improve accessibility, the LP11 portable platform lift is a smart option.

When a project involves a significant change in level, access can quickly become complex.

The Guldmann Stepless LP7 & LP7+ are designed to tackle that challenge with a practical, well-engineered platform lift solution that can often be installed without a lift pit or major structural work.



With a self-supporting construction and a very low 50mm entry height, the LP7 range is particularly useful where space is limited and a shorter ramp is beneficial. Both models are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, making them a versatile option across a wide range of public, care and education environments.



For projects where a compact lift may not offer enough travel, the LP7 range provides a more capable solution without significantly increasing installation complexity.

The Stepless LP5 and LP5+ platform lifts are a strong solution for overcoming smaller level changes safely, reliably and without being over complex.

Compact, robust and easy to integrate, they are well suited to environments where step-free access needs to be improved but space, layout or building constraints make ramps or more extensive alterations less practical.

This makes them a strong choice where:
✔️ Space is limited and a compact solution is needed
✔️ Ramps or more extensive alterations are not practical
✔️ A reliable, easy-to-integrate lift is preferred
✔️ Step-free access needs to be improved without major disruption
✔️ Indoor or outdoor flexibility is important

The LP5+ also offers additional flexibility for projects needing slightly greater height capability, with options including a safety gate, left or right side exit, wireless operation, a transparent side panel and battery backup.

For projects where smaller level changes need to be addressed safely and efficiently, the LP5 and LP5+ offer a practical, straightforward route to improved accessibility.

On BIM-led projects, specialist equipment should be coordinated as early as possible and not fitted around decisions that have already been made.

In accessible and care environments, specialist systems such as ceiling hoists and hygiene equipment have a direct impact on layout, clearances, fixing requirements and coordination with surrounding elements.

When picked up too late, this can result in unnecessary redesign, avoidable clashes or compromise on functionality.

At Multicare, we provide Revit-based BIM support for architects, contractors and technical teams, helping integrate specialist equipment into live project models in a way that supports coordination, buildability and real-world use.

Our support is typically delivered across RIBA Stages 2, 3 and 4, where early input can help teams protect functional layouts as designs develop, coordinate specialist equipment more effectively, reduce the risk of late-stage changes and support smoother delivery on site.

And because our BIM support is backed by in-house design, installation and technical knowledge, it is informed by how these systems need to work in practice, not just how they appear in the model.

If you’re working on a project involving accessible bathrooms, hygiene rooms, changing places facilities or ceiling hoist systems, we’d be happy to support your team.

The Stepless StepOne is a great example of how accessibility can be integrated intelligently into a space.

Designed to function as a set of steps in everyday use, StepOne transforms easily into a platform lift when needed, helping create safer, more inclusive access without permanently changing how the entrance or level change is used.

This makes it a particularly versatile option for environments where:
✔️ Space is limited
✔️ A traditional ramp is not practical
✔️ A discreet, multi-purpose solution is preferred
✔️ Accessibility needs to be improved without compromising usability for other users

Another major benefit is that StepOne can typically be installed without a pit or major structural alterations, making it a strong option for both new and existing buildings. It is also available in a choice of finishes, materials and colours, helping it sit more naturally within the surrounding architecture.

For projects where access needs to be improved without compromising layout, usability or appearance, the StepOne platform lift by Guldmann is an excellent solution.

Designed to support safe, dignified and practical access where steps or level changes create barriers, the Stepless range includes a selection of platform lifts suitable for a wide variety of settings.

Creating truly inclusive environments means making sure buildings can be accessed safely and comfortably by everyone. Where ramps are not practical, platform lifts can provide an effective solution without compromising on space, safety or usability.

As with all Multicare projects, our support goes beyond supply alone. We can help with site assessment, product selection, installation and ongoing support to ensure the right solution is chosen for the environment and the people using it.

Tomorrow, we’ll be delivering one of our Ceiling Hoists – Enhanced Awareness Lunch & Learn sessions for an architectural practice, supporting their team with practical insight into the design and coordination of safe, compliant ceiling hoist systems.

Since launching our Lunch & Learn programme, we’ve been really encouraged by the level of interest these sessions have received. They’re designed to give architects, contractors, OTs, local authority teams and other professionals clear, real-world guidance around specialist equipment and accessible environment design, with a strong focus on what works in practice.

While these sessions are typically delivered in person at your premises, we can also provide them online where that works better for your team.

If you’d like to arrange a session for your organisation, we’d be pleased to hear from you.
