Freeway Transactive Xtra Manual

Product details

The Freeway Transactive Xtra Manual is a ceiling-mounted lifting unit designed for everyday transfers. Its low-profile design keeps the hoist discreet and helps preserve floor space, while the manual traverse lets a carer move the lift along the ceiling track with minimal effort. Models are available with different safe working loads so you can choose the capacity that fits the user’s needs, including options up to 270 kgs.

The operation is straightforward for carers. The hoist uses a wired pneumatic handset for precise control and an LCD battery and service display to show status information clearly. The motor runs quietly and uses a soft start and stop to reduce sudden movement, helping the person being lifted feel more comfortable during each transfer.

Safety features are built in, so transfers remain reliable. The unit includes an emergency stop and both powered and manual emergency lowering functions to allow a safe descent if needed. The casing is made from flame-retardant ABS, the hoist carries an IP21 rating for suitability in wet environments, and a five-year warranty provides long-term coverage.

Performance and power are practical for day-to-day use. The hoist weighs 9.7 kgs and offers a hoisting range up to 200 cm. It uses 2 × 12V SLA batteries with an approximate charging time of 8.5 hours, delivering roughly 35–120 lifts per charge depending on the selected safe working load (see specifications for load-specific figures). The unit includes a 3-hook contoured spreader bar that works with most sling designs.

Installation and flexibility are key strengths. The system can be fitted across single or multiple rooms with variable track layouts for full coverage, and the manual model can be supplied with a quick-release trolley to make detaching the hoist straightforward. Optional extras include constant charge, a powered H-system and a powered turntable for specific installation needs. Professional installation by a trained engineer is recommended to ensure safe and correct operation.
