Handicare C-1000 Bariatric Powered Ceiling Lift – High-Capacity, Safe & Dignified Transfers
Uncompromised Safety for Bariatric Patient Handling The Handicare C-1000 is engineered to address the most critical challenge in modern healthcare: safely transferring bariatric patients without causing musculoskeletal injuries to caregivers. With an industry-leading Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1,000 lbs (454 kg), this system allows facilities to handle the most complex patient populations with confidence. Unlike standard lifts, the C-1000 utilizes a ruggedized chassis and high-torque lifting mechanism designed specifically for the rigorous demands of bariatric wards.
Power Traverse: Essential for Staff Protection Moving a patient weighing nearly half a ton requires more than just lifting power; it requires lateral mobility. This model features Power Traverse, a motorized system that drives the lift along the ceiling track. This eliminates the need for caregivers to manually push or pull the suspended patient, a primary cause of strain and injury. By automating both the vertical lift and horizontal movement, the C-1000 ensures a single caregiver can operate the system safely and efficiently.
Dignified Care with Advanced Diagnostics Bariatric patients often experience anxiety during transfers due to equipment instability. The C-1000 delivers a remarkably smooth and stable transfer, preserving patient dignity. The unit is equipped with Handicare’s intelligent LCD diagnostics, providing real-time data on battery health and lift cycles. Furthermore, the IP67-rated waterproof hand control ensures the highest standards of infection control can be maintained between uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
How does the Handicare C-1000 ensure the safety of both the patient and the caregiver during high-capacity home transfers?
The Handicare C-1000 provides a high-capacity safety solution by utilizing a dual-motor system that ensures stable, level lifting for individuals up to 1000 lbs. This Safe Working Load (SWL) is critical for home settings where bariatric patients require precise positioning without the risk of equipment strain or tipping. For the caregiver, the automated features eliminate the need for manual pushing or pulling, which is the leading cause of back injuries in home care. Built-in safety sensors and an emergency stop cord provide an immediate fail-safe, ensuring that the patient remains secure throughout the entire transit process. By moving the lifting process to the ceiling, you create a controlled, trip-free environment that prioritizes the health of everyone involved.
-
Can this bariatric lift be integrated into a standard home layout without major structural renovations?
While it is a heavy-duty system, the C-1000 is designed to integrate with residential structural supports through a custom-fitted track system that can be tailored to your home’s specific framing. The lift’s compact motor design allows it to operate in rooms with standard ceiling heights, ensuring that your loved one can clear bed frames and furniture during a transfer. Because it moves along a ceiling-mounted rail, it preserves your floor space and avoids the common "bottleneck" issues that bulky mobile lifts cause in narrow residential hallways or bathrooms. A professional installer can typically reinforce your existing ceiling joists to support the static load, making this a permanent but non-intrusive upgrade to your living space. This specialized approach ensures your home stays a home while providing hospital-grade accessibility.
-
What makes the C-1000 a better long-term investment for home accessibility compared to portable floor lifts?
The Handicare C-1000 offers a superior return on investment by providing a permanent, durable solution that supports "aging in place" for patients with complex mobility needs. Unlike portable lifts that suffer from frequent mechanical wear and require significant storage space, this ceiling-mounted unit has a 10-year service life and requires minimal maintenance. It increases the overall functional value of your property for accessibility and significantly reduces the daily physical toll on family members, which can prevent costly medical bills for caregiver injuries. The robust digital diagnostic system also helps you stay ahead of routine checks, ensuring the lift remains a reliable asset for a decade or more. It is a one-time purchase that provides daily peace of mind and long-term security for the entire household.
-
What is the specific weight capacity of the C-1000, and can it support someone using a heavy power wheelchair?
The Handicare C-1000 is specifically engineered for bariatric care, offering a massive 1000 lb capacity that easily supports a patient along with the weight of specialized slings or bariatric seating. This makes it one of the strongest residential lifts available, capable of handling transfers for individuals who utilize heavy-duty power wheelchairs or complex medical hardware. The dual-motor synchronization ensures that even at maximum weight, the lift maintains a smooth, consistent speed without stuttering or jerking. This high capacity is essential for ensuring that as a loved one’s needs change, the equipment remains capable of providing safe, dignified care. You won't have to worry about outgrowing your equipment or exceeding the safety limits of a standard-grade lift.
-
How does the power traverse feature simplify daily caregiving for a single family member?
The power traverse feature is a game-changer for solo caregivers because it uses a motorized drive to move the patient horizontally along the track with the touch of a button. Instead of a family member having to physically strain to move a bariatric patient through the house, the lift does the heavy work, allowing the caregiver to focus entirely on the patient's comfort and positioning. This feature is especially helpful when navigating through doorways or turning corners, where manual maneuvering can be difficult and dangerous. The pneumatic hand control is easy to use and completely waterproof, meaning you can safely manage transfers in and out of a bath or shower. It transforms a high-effort task into a simple, controlled movement that a single person can handle with total confidence.
