The “Tarzan” System: Safe Transfers Between Rooms—No Doorway Modifications Needed
The SureHands® “Tarzan” system is a specialized version of the portable ceiling motor, designed to help users move safely between two adjoining rooms, like a bedroom and bathroom, without needing to alter the doorway.
Here’s how it works:
- The portable motor is upgraded with an additional eye ring
- Two separate ceiling tracks are installed—one in each room
- During the transfer, a caregiver uses the eye ring to suspend the lift straps between tracks
- The user is gently and securely “swung” through the doorway while suspended
✔️ No construction or doorway modification required
✔️ Ideal for homes with standard doorframes
✔️ Maintains the flexibility and portability of the original motor
The Tarzan system gives users greater access across rooms, while preserving the layout and structure of the home.
No Doorway Modifications Needed
With the SureHands® portable ceiling lift, there’s no need to alter your doorways or home layout.
Each room uses its own ceiling track, so you can move between spaces—like the bedroom and bathroom—without construction or remodeling. Everything stays just the way it is, making installation simple and non-invasive.
A smart solution that fits your home—and your life.
