Hospital Elevators

A bed lift is specified around a stretcher with an attendant on each side and a drip stand at the head. Once the car is that size, everything else — doors, drive, levelling — follows from it.

Duty types

Four healthcare lift duties, and what each one is built around.

Clinical duty decides car size, standby power and door timing before capacity ever enters the conversation.

Standard Standard hospital bed elevator with stretcher-length car

Bed elevator

Sized for a standard hospital bed or stretcher lengthwise with staff either side. The baseline specification for any healthcare building.

Car depth
from 2100 mm
Levelling
±5 mm
Standby power
Recommended
Best for
General wards
Strength
Covers the great majority of routine patient transfer needs.
Trade-off
Not sized for ICU-scale equipment travelling alongside the bed.
Critical care ICU elevator with an oversized car for stretcher and equipment transfer

Stretcher / ICU elevator

A larger car depth to take a stretcher plus attached monitoring equipment, always on standby power, with priority and attendant control as standard.

Car depth
from 2400 mm
Levelling
±5 mm
Standby power
Mandatory
Best for
ICU, emergency, operation theatre floors
Strength
Built for the one transfer that genuinely cannot wait or be delayed.
Trade-off
Largest shaft footprint of the four hospital lift types.
Service Discreet hospital service elevator used for mortuary and back-of-house transfer

Mortuary / service elevator

A separate, discreet route away from public and visitor circulation, finished plainly and specified for wipeable, infection-control surfaces throughout.

Car depth
from 2100 mm
Route
Separate from visitor lifts
Finish
Plain, wipeable
Best for
Back-of-house transfer
Strength
Keeps sensitive movement entirely off the public and visitor routes.
Trade-off
Needs a dedicated shaft and corridor route planned at design stage.
Small hospitals Combination bed and goods elevator serving a small hospital or nursing home

Combination bed + goods elevator

A single car specified to double as both the bed lift and the goods route, for smaller hospitals and nursing homes that cannot justify separate lifts.

Car depth
from 2100 mm
Duty
Bed + goods
Standby power
Recommended
Best for
Nursing homes, small hospitals
Strength
One shaft covers two duties where a building genuinely cannot support both.
Trade-off
Scheduling conflicts between bed and goods traffic need a clear protocol.

Healthcare lift specialists

Millimetre levelling and standby power, because a bed lift is a clinical instrument.

Healthcare buildings ask for tolerances a standard passenger catalogue does not carry — levelling accurate under a loaded trolley, door dwell long enough for a bed transfer, priority control a nurse can trigger without a keycard search. We have fitted that specification into hospitals and nursing homes across Delhi NCR, on standby power circuits agreed with the electrical consultant rather than assumed. When a stopped lift is a clinical problem and not an inconvenience, that is the standard we hold ourselves to.

Healthcare duty

What a hospital asks of a lift that an office never does.

These are the requirements that most often get missed when a hospital lift is quoted from a standard passenger catalogue.

Stretcher-length car

The car must take a trolley lengthwise with staff either side. This drives car depth, and car depth drives the shaft.

Levelling accuracy under load

A trolley wheel catches on a step of a few millimetres. Levelling has to hold as the car loads and unloads, which is a drive and controller question.

Extended door dwell

Bed transfer takes longer than a passenger walking in. Door timing is set separately for the bed lift and the visitor lifts.

Priority and attendant control

Staff must be able to take a car out of public service and run it directly to a floor. That is a keyswitch and a control mode, specified up front.

Standby power

The bed lift group runs on the hospital generator circuit. Its power feed is planned with the electrical consultant, not after handover.

Infection-control finishes

Wipeable stainless surfaces, coved joints and handrails that can be cleaned. Textured or grooved finishes are avoided.

Separate the traffic, not just the cars Bed, staff, visitor and service traffic want different door timings. Grouping them onto one lift is what creates the queues.

Where they go

Healthcare buildings we specify for.

  • Multi-speciality hospitals. Separate bed, visitor and service groups, with the bed group on standby power.
  • Nursing homes and small hospitals. Usually a single bed lift plus a passenger lift, so the bed lift has to double as overflow.
  • Diagnostic centres. Patient movement between imaging floors, often with heavier-than-usual equipment loads.
  • Rehabilitation and elder care. Wheelchair-first specification: lower car controls, longer dwell and handrails on three sides.
  • Medical college buildings. Mixed student and clinical traffic, typically served alongside a passenger lift group.

Common questions

Before you ask for a quotation

What is the price for a stretcher elevator or hospital bed lift?

Stretcher elevator price is set by car depth, rated load, levelling accuracy, standby-power wiring and door type — a plain bed lift on general ward duty costs well below an ICU-duty car with standby power and priority control fitted. We price against the clinical duty you declare, not a generic hospital-lift rate, once we know the bed count and floors served.

What size car does a bed lift need?

Plan for at least 2100 mm of internal depth so a stretcher fits lengthwise with staff either side. A 1600 kg car at roughly 1600 × 2400 mm internal is the common working size.

Why side-opening doors instead of centre-opening?

Side-opening gives the widest clear opening for a given shaft width, which is what a bed needs. Centre-opening doors are faster and better for high-traffic visitor lifts.

Does the bed lift need to run on generator power?

Yes. Bed and service lifts are normally connected to the standby supply so patient movement continues during an outage. This is planned with the electrical consultant.

How often should a hospital lift be serviced?

Monthly at minimum, with levelling and door timing checked every visit. Accreditation audits usually ask for the signed service record, so we leave one each time.

Can an existing passenger lift be converted to a bed lift?

Rarely. Car depth is the constraint and it is fixed by the shaft. Where the shaft allows it, a modernization can change car, doors and controller together.

Specifying lifts for a healthcare building?

Send the floor count, the number of beds and the intended lift groups. We will return car sizes, door widths and shaft requirements in writing.
