XY hoists are used when there are multiple transfer points in one room. Although the fixings are not usually that expensive, the labour for fitting them can add a lot to the cost.Ī 3-metre straight track hoist fixed direct to timber joists or a concrete ceiling is usually around £2,000. Therefore the material cost is lower and there will be less fixings required. The shorter the track, the cheaper the hoist will be. Track length is the easiest variable to quantify. This is because they are much easier to fit. Will the track be straight? Or will it need to have bends? A straight rail will always be cheaper. For this reason it is often very difficult to give you an accurate price.
There are so many things to consider that it can be quite daunting if you are not familiar with hoist systems. The cost of a ceiling hoist system is determined by many variables.
