For situations where bracing an overhead hoist against a ceiling isn't feasible, then the Oxford Easytrack FS Gantry Hoist is the best option. Unlike the standard Easytrack system, the FS Gantry is entirely freestanding, given you great flexibility over where it can be used.
The kit is lightweight and simple to transport between locations. The height is adjustable, allowing it to suit a variety of needs.
The Easytrack FS Gantry requires a Voyager Portable hoist (second picture, available separately) alongside it to operate. This simple to operate and reliable hoist has a weight capacity of 31 stone (200 kg).
Our Verdict
In those situations where it isn't possible to brace a hoist against a ceiling, the Easytrack FS Gantry is the obvious choice - flexible on where it is located, and easy to set up.
