Handicare C-800 Bariatric Ceiling Lift - 800 lb
Model: C-800 Bariatric Ceiling Lift (329180 Manual Traverse / 329190 Power Traverse)
Availability: In Stock – Ready to Ship
An 800 lb Ceiling Lift Motor for Bariatric Transfers, With Manual or Powered Travel
The Handicare C-800 is a ceiling-mounted lift motor rated for 800 lbs (363 kg), built for bariatric transfers in homes and care settings. It runs along an overhead track rated for 800 lbs and raises and lowers the user in a sling using a pneumatic hand control, with soft start and stop for smooth motion. Two versions are available: the Manual Traverse (329180), which the caregiver moves along the track by hand, and the Power Traverse (329190), which has a travel motor that drives the lift along the track from the hand control.
Power comes from a 24V battery pack of two 12V sealed lead-acid cells, rated for 17 to 20 lifts of 24 inches at the full 800 lb load per charge. These versions charge at a docking station at the end of the track. A digital display shows battery level, the number of lifts performed, lift status and maintenance information, and an audible alert warns of low battery. An emergency stop and emergency lowering are built in. The motor weighs about 24.5 lbs and measures 13.1 by 10.2 by 7.5 inches in a flame-retardant ABS case.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The C-800 is the lift motor only. A complete system also needs ceiling track rated for 800 lbs, a carry (hanger) bar and a sling sized for the user, all sold separately, and the installed system is only rated as high as its lowest-rated component. Choose Power Traverse when the caregiver would otherwise have to push a heavy user along the track by hand, or when the track run is long. Have the track installed by a qualified installer, charge the battery for 4 hours before first use, and have a physical or occupational therapist show caregivers how to choose and position the sling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Manual and Power Traverse?
With Manual Traverse (329180), the caregiver moves the lift along the track by hand. Power Traverse (329190) adds a travel motor so the lift drives along the track from the hand control.
What else is needed to install it?
Ceiling track rated for 800 lbs, a carry (hanger) bar and a sling sized for the user, sold separately. The installed system is rated only as high as its lowest-rated component.
How many lifts does a charge give?
17 to 20 lifts of 24 inches at the full 800 lb load, after the battery is broken in.
What if the battery runs down during a lift?
The lift has an emergency lowering function to bring the user down, and an audible alert warns of low battery before it gets to that point.
