Patient transfer lifts that consist of a permanently mounted overhead track supporting a suspended seat (sling or rigid). These lifts include the following: a track usually mounted on the ceiling, but that may be wall-mounted or freestanding; a mounting system that attaches the track to the ceiling; a console containing the motor and pulleys; a suspension system including the seat; and a control box for lift movement regulation. Track-mounted patient transfer lifts are mostly used to move patients between rooms (e.g., bathrooms, x-ray cabinets) in healthcare facilities.
