Handicare C-450 Ceiling Lift Patient Transfer System, 450 lbs. Capacity
Maximize Lifting Height in Low-Ceiling Environments The Handicare C-450 is engineered to solve the most common challenge in patient transfer: limited vertical space. As the most compact lift in its class, the C-450 provides nearly 7 inches of additional lifting height compared to standard competitors. This ensures safe transfers even in rooms with low ceilings or when lifting patients from higher surfaces like imaging tables or specialized beds.
Reduce Maintenance Downtime and Infection Risks Operational efficiency is critical in high-traffic care facilities. The C-450 features a fully waterproof, pneumatic hand control (IP67 rated), allowing for thorough disinfection without damaging the electronics—a vital feature for infection control protocols. Additionally, the on-board LCD screen provides instant diagnostics, including battery levels and maintenance codes, allowing facilities to address service needs proactively rather than reactively.
Designed for Caregiver Safety and Patient Comfort Built to support Safe Patient Handling & Mobility (SPHM) programs, this lift reduces the physical strain on caregivers during transfers. The system delivers a smooth, quiet operation with soft start/stop technology, minimizing patient anxiety and maximizing dignity during movement. Available in both manual and power traverse configurations, the C-450 adapts to your facility’s specific workflow requirements.
