THOR #2780
Interior Overhead Lift System

Hello,

We have a 2014 Thor ACE 30.2 which was modified with a wheelchair lift. Presently any time I need to be moved from my wheelchair to the bed and vice versa, my wife will throw me on her back to move me. This method has worked pretty good, but now that we are both getting older, it is time to look at more user friendly lift systems. I am looking to install an overhead lift rail system similar to the one we have in our house. Has anyone else installed such a lift system? Does anyone know if the existing ceiling/roof can handle the weight of such a system with a person in it?

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from.

It is a gantry which is supported by legs tied into the frame. It shouldn't even touch the ceiling.

Our opinion(including mine) of the roof/ceiling has no bearing on its bearing.

Ask only the professional installer and do only what they say is legal and proper and suited.
