Castor is a freestanding lift stand, which together with a rail and a lift unit, functions as a stationary patient lift. It is ideal
for occasional lifting needs in a specific location, or where it is not possible to install a permanent rail system on the
ceiling. Castor is made of aluminium, which makes it light in relation to its large lifting capacity.
Direct Healthcare Group’s SystemRoMedic product series includes a range of lifts, slings and other accessories.
SystemRoMedic adopts a holistic approach to patient transfers and is organized in four categories: transfer, positioning,
support and lifting.
Visual inspection
Inspect Castor and lift unit functions regularly. Check to ensure that material is free from damage.
Before use:
Check to ensure that the lift stand and lift unit are correctly assembled.
Check all mounts and safety latches.
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
The lift may only be used by persons who have received instruction in the operation of the lift.

Mounting overhead rail and lift unit
1, 2. Insert the upright in the corner piece and secure with two bolts.
Do the same with the other upright and corner piece.
3. Mount the bolts on the rail, on both sides.
4. Insert the rail in one of the corner pieces and tighten.
NOTE! Remember to mount the lift unit/carriage before mounting the other upright.
5. Mount the lift unit according to one of the following alternatives:
1. Lift unit with built-in carriage:
The lift unit is mounted on the rail (see image) before the other end of the rail is secured to the corner piece.
2. Portable lift unit with separate carriage:
Mount the carriage on the rail before the other end of the rail is secured to the corner piece. When the entire lift stand is
assembled, the portable lift unit can be installed.
For operating instructions, see the manual for the respective lift unit.
6. To prevent the lift unit from travelling along the rail during assembly of the second upright, the lift unit must be
anchored to the first upright. We recommend the use of an end stop for anchoring the lift unit. After assembly, this can
be moved to the other end of the rail and left in place.
7. Secure the other end of the rail to the other corner piece, as in image 4, 7.

Final inspection
Inspect Castor for signs of wear and damage. Ensure that Castor stands stable on the floor, so that it does not tilt,
and check that the uprights are adjusted to the same height.
Check to ensure that all locking handles and bolts are securely tightened.
Test lift function by lifting a person (not a patient) using an approved sling.
Keep the instruction manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Safe working load
Different products on the same lift system (lift unit, slingbar, sling, scales and other lifting accessories) may have different
allowable safe working loads. The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the maximum load of the
assembled system. Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if
you have any questions.
Important information
• Castor must be assembled according to the assembly instructions provided with the stand.
• Castor may only be used indoors and on a level floor.
• Lifting accessories must be properly trial fitted and tested in relation to the patient’s needs and functional ability.
• Do not leave the patient unattended during a transfer situation.
• Under no circumstances may max. load be exceeded. See section on safe working load.
• To ensure optimal function, Castor must be inspected regularly. See section on maintenance.
• Warranty applies only if repairs or alterations are done by an authorized technician.
