Thanks -this is actually different than the one I had. Seems even this

type is now battery powered. I'll check it out more closely.

those are awesome . I wish it would work here but because of the way this

place was built it would take major work. My bathroom in/connected to the

bedroom has a higher ceiling and an actual door frame type thing to go through.

It looks nice, but not very practical for things that this!

shame. though i actually have two. one on bedroom ceiling, and another on

bathroom ceiling as those two rooms are not next to each other. bit of a

pain in the arse as in morning have to go from bed to chair with one ceiling

track hoist. then go to bathroom in my wheelchair and then go rom wheelchair

to toilet or bath using the second ceiling track hoist.

My mom and I are looking for a lift that can lower me in and out of the bath

tub, because I'm to heavy for her to lift me. The Ergo hoist lift looks like

something we need, but the only thing is that it looks like it would have to be

mounted to the ceiling and because we are renting the house that we're living

in, I don't think our landlord would want us to put holes in his ceiling. We

really don't know what to do, because there aren't any more options out there

for us.

Hi,

I did have the aquatec but it was not a good idea for ouf family

because my children were using the bath every day so my husband had

to remove the aquatec every time I had finished my bath.

The solution for us was the ergo-hoist.

Easy to use even if your alone !!!!

Have a nice day

We have the same kind of laws, for long term (over 6 months) lets. Feel free to

get in touch with me off-list, I have been through this a lot over the past 4

years!

I'm in the States, and I didn't know you can make modifications to rental

property.

My mom just informed me that our lease says that any modifications made to the

house, will belong to " the house " . So, if we do decide to purchase the hoist

lift and mount it up in our bathroom, and a year or 2 later we decide to move to

another location we would have to leave it hear, which I think is unfair and

stupid.

Thank you, Amy. I was just about to add that very information about

the purpose of such a clause in a lease...You were more clear than my

befuddled brain is up to tonight...lol. Though, I will add that the

ADA doesn't cover tenant modifications; only new construction or

major remodels. The Fair Housing Act is the relevant law in this

situation. The local Legal Aid group or Independent Living Center

can refer folks to a qualified advocate, as can most tenants' unions.
