The GH3 is a high-capacity ceiling hoist designed for intensive, everyday use in professional care environments. With lifting capacities up to 400 kg, it provides a robust solution for hospitals, schools, Changing Places facilities, and long-term care settings where safe, frequent assisted transfers are required.
The hoist features an in-rail constant charging system, allowing the module to charge automatically wherever it is positioned on the track. This ensures the hoist remains ready for use at all times and minimises battery-related downtime. The GH3 uses high-grade NiMH battery technology supported by continuous monitoring, contributing to long service life and reduced maintenance intervention.
The GH3 can be specified with additional functionality, including integrated scales, care-lift management, and service monitoring modules, providing data to support safe handling compliance and asset management. Optional powered horizontal movement is also available for installations requiring motorised transfer along the track system.
Compatible with a full range of straight tracks, H-frame systems, turntables, and combination layouts, the GH3 integrates easily into new-build and refurbishment projects. Its modern, low-profile design blends into clinical and public environments, supporting both functional and aesthetic considerations.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Multicare Medical Ltd is consulted before specifying.

The GH3 is available in multiple lifting capacities ranging from 200 kg to 400 kg, allowing architects to specify a model suitable for bariatric, acute care, education, or Changing Places applications.
The GH3 uses an in-rail constant charging system, meaning the hoist charges automatically wherever it is parked on the track. No wall charger is required, and the hoist remains ready for use at all times.
The GH3 works with a wide range of Guldmann track systems, including:
Straight ceiling-mounted tracks
Full-room H-frame systems
Turntables and track switches
Combination layouts
This flexibility makes it suitable for new builds and refurbishment projects.
The hoist must be fixed to a load-bearing structure, such as timber joists, steel beams, or reinforced supports. Structural assessment is required to confirm load paths, especially in retrofit or suspended-ceiling environments.
Yes. The GH3 is designed specifically for professional care environments and can support high numbers of lifts per day. The constant-charge system and robust NiMH battery technology make it suitable for hospitals, care homes, SEN schools, and public Changing Places facilities.
Yes. The GH3 must undergo LOLER inspections every 6 months, and all lifting components must be serviced by a competent engineer. It supports compliance with manual handling guidelines across healthcare and education.
Yes. BIM/Revit families and CAD drawings are available for the GH3 hoist and track systems, supporting clash detection, ceiling coordination, and M&E design.
Yes. The GH3 can be supplied with integrated weighing scales, care-lift management, and servicing modules that help manage usage, compliance, and maintenance planning.
Yes. The GH3 can be configured with an optional built-in motor for powered horizontal travel along the traverse rail. Operation can be via handset or infrared (IR) remote control.
Yes. GH3 modules can be supplied with reversible cover plates to suit design preferences and help the hoist blend into clinical, educational, or public environments.
