A stretcher-compatible lift is a specially designed elevator system that facilitates the smooth and safe movement of patients on stretchers within medical facilities, hospitals, and healthcare centers. The installation process begins with a thorough site survey and planning to ensure proper shaft dimensions, structural readiness, and compliance with healthcare standards.
These lifts feature wide, two-panel center-opening doors and a deep, spacious cabin—typically measuring at least 1100 mm x 2100 mm—to comfortably accommodate a stretcher, medical personnel, and essential equipment. The lift is equipped with features such as smooth acceleration and deceleration, accurate floor leveling, and low noise operation to ensure patient comfort during transit.
High-grade stainless steel interiors with anti-bacterial coatings, non-slip flooring, and easy-to-clean surfaces maintain hygiene standards. Safety components include emergency alarms, backup power supply, intercom systems, overload protection, and auto-rescue devices. The control panel is mounted at an accessible height and supports hands-free or touchless operation.
Installation is handled by trained professionals and follows global standards like EN 81-20/50, ISO, and local fire and accessibility codes. Post-installation, the lift undergoes rigorous testing, certification, and staff orientation. A properly installed stretcher-compatible lift enhances patient care by providing quick, safe, and reliable vertical transportation within medical premises.
