A locking arrangement for a patient lift configured to selectively lock the vertical movement of a patient support mounting device connected to a lifting device of the patient lift via a load bearing member. The locking arrangement including a shape memory alloy element and a locking device. The shape memory alloy element is connected to the locking device and arranged to selectively actuate the locking device to control a locking force on an engagement member mechanically connected to a motor and the load bearing member of the patient lift. The present invention further relates to a patient lift including the locking arrangement.

A patient hoist is provided on a trolley which tides along a track, with the hoist being powered by a conductor extending along the track. A contact carrier is loosely fit within the trolley, and it bears a contact which elastically biased against the track conductor, with die contact being in electrical communication with the hoist: The contact carrier is tree to laterally displace with respect to the trolley so that it (and its contact) follows the contour of the track, with the contact remaining in electrical communication with the track conductor.
