Amico GoLift In The OR
Amico · Model GoLift In The OR
Ceiling Lift System The Amico GoLift is a ceiling lift system designed to transfer and position patients. The GoLift was created to be aesthetically pleasing yet incredibly efficient. In an effort to address infection prevention and control requirements, we incorporated smooth edges and round corners on the GoLift ceiling lift, carry bar, and capacitive touch hand control. This elimination of crevices minimizes the transmission of microorganisms and maximizes effective cleaning. The GoLift is activated with a single light touch to either the up or down arrow on the hand control. When looking at the anatomy of the GoLift, you will find an impressive set of all metal gears and state-of-the-art battery technology that allow the caregiver to safely and effortlessly transfer a patient weighing up to 700lbs (318 kg) on a single lift. For larger patients, you may combine two compact GoLift 700 systems to obtain a lifting capacity of 1000lbs (454 kg). In addition, our revolutionary trolley design allows for quick installation of the ceiling lift into and out of the track. The trolley also provides an instant mechanical and electrical connection while our modular track system gives you tremendous flexibility so that your workspace may be optimized to suit your needs for any working environment.
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Battery / runtime fault
HighSymptoms: Short runtime, low-battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Connector / cable fatigue
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent signal/power.
Root cause: Repeated flexing.
Transport mount / cradle wear
LowSymptoms: Loose device, vibration damage.
Root cause: Docking latch wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Post-call function and battery check
- ·Mounting / securement inspection
- ·Annual full PM and vibration-tolerance check
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Battery / runtime fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically short runtime, low-battery alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged battery.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rechargeable battery pack per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Transport mount / cradle wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose device, vibration damage - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: docking latch wear.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the docking cradle / latch per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
