Overview of A-450/A-625 Lift System
The A-450/A-625 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and caregivers in homes, institutions,
and long-term care facilities to lift, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member.
The A-450/A-625 is one part of a ceiling lift system that lifts an individual directly from above, making it
possible to transfer and reposition mobility impaired individuals safely, with dignity, and in comfort while
minimizing both strain and risk to the caregiver. The ceiling lift also does not take up valuable floor space
as most traditional methods do.
The A-450/A-625 lift is one of the three major parts that make up a ceiling lift system:
•
Lift - Motorized unit that raises and lowers an individual directly from above
•
Track - Custom tailored and securely mounted to a ceiling structure, wall or floor provides the path
for the lift to traverse
•
Sling - Specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the lift's carry bar to hold and support an
individual for positioning or transfer
Refer to any user guides supplied with the accessories and reference them while reviewing this lift guide.
A-450 and A-625 Ceiling Lifts
The A-450/A-625 is designed to raise and transfer an individual along a track from one surface to another
surface. The lift remains on the lift track when in use or charging.
The A-450/A-625 ceiling lift can be either a manual or powered model. With the manual version, the
caregiver effortlessly moves the individual horizontally along the track. The powered version has a
secondary motor that moves the individually horizontally.
Functions such as lifting up or down or moving left or right are controlled by pressing buttons on a digital
hand controller attached to the lift.
