In Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare buildings, there can be multiple types of passenger elevators, each unique in design and functionality. Patients and employees must be transported safely between floors, theatre, or stretcher lifts for transporting patients from operating rooms to intensive or high care, as well as discrete stretcher lifts.
Commercial passenger elevators ensure that visitors can see their loved ones, service elevators for vital services such as cleaning, catering, and moving medical equipment, and stretcher lifts for moving patients.
All these scenarios require your elevators to be consistently dependable, keeping traffic running smoothly at every stage.
Each hospital is different, and we will work with you to understand your specific requirements and challenges, creating a solution tailored to your needs.

Door Positioning
Opening the door to one side of the lift or both sides and opening the door in the front and back of the lift (through entrance) to match the hospital’s building environment with flexibility, satisfying diverse needs.
Design
Stretcher elevator uses deep car structure and big-size capacity design, meeting the access requirements of first aid stretcher, foldable first aid stretcher and soft stretcher or hospital bed. Floor levelling is precise to prevent shaking of the stretcher during entrance and exiting. Such elevators are equipped with additional features such as countermeasures for power failures, adjusted luminous flux, antibacterial measures and stainless accessories.
First aid function
Stretcher or medical emergency lifts with first aid functions, this type of lifts are usually found in hospitals. The lift needs to be able to be summoned to any floor in an emergency, so each floor will have a recall key switch that, when activated, immediately selects the fastest lift – whether it is empty or carrying passengers. When the lift arrives at a floor, it will remain there with its doors open. The buttons will be disabled to prevent ordinary passengers from controlling the lift.
Service lifts
IP Service elevators modify passenger elevators to ruggedize them for carrying passengers and freight. They design elevators for smaller loads, such as office supplies, hospital beds, maintenance trolleys, and furniture. Employees explicitly designate service elevators for behind-the-scenes use. Commercial offices, residential buildings, hotels, retail spaces, and hospitality spaces like casinos and hospitals commonly have these lifts. These elevators are efficient additions to any building because they eliminate potentially disruptive transportation behind the scenes. They serve multiple purposes and may offer more headroom with a higher ceiling.
For instance, an apartment building may install a tall service elevator to accommodate couches, beds, fridges, and other furniture pieces. Using the passenger elevator for moving purposes could cause delays in normal operations in the building. Therefore, service elevators ensure operational stability without disturbing tenants or guests.
Service Elevators Elevator Blankets or Pads
IP Elevator pads or blankets specifically protect the interior walls of service elevators, residential lifts, and freight elevators. In many cases, the building design has changed and/or building owners have not made provisions for a service elevator. Building owners must use their passenger elevator to move furniture, goods, or freight, and they need to protect their elevator investment and reduce costly repairs to the elevator cab. Elevator cab blankets help achieve these objectives. Goods and equipment can be heavy, oddly shaped, and awkward to handle, increasing the risk of accidentally bumping into the elevator’s wall. Hanging a protection blanket in your elevator early on is a more cost-effective solution to prevent interior damage to your elevator’s walls.

Funicular or Incline Elevators for Private Residences
IP Elevators efficiently overcome different inclinations surfaces and enable the maximization of usable space in hillside residences. Additionally, they provide economical and barrier-free access through inclined carriageways.
Inclined lifts meet the requirements for conveying both passengers and passenger loads, as they travel along guide rails at an angle of 15-75° from the horizontal. Moreover, they have total or partial enclosures to protect people from moving parts.
We design, manufacture, and install inclined elevators according to EN 81-22:2021. Furthermore, our passenger and goods lifts with inclined travel paths create a small footprint, minimizing their impact on the hillside. Consequently, this opens up endless architectural and landscaping options for new-home construction or adapting existing architecture, adding tremendous value to the property.
While stairs offer a solution, they are not as efficient in handling the hauling of belongings or escorting children and physically challenged friends or relatives. On the other hand, our inclined elevators safely transport passengers and goods up or down the slope. Additionally, they provide a convenient and secure mode of transportation.
