Elevator design mistakes in hospitals

Hospitals have specific elevator needs. Here is what to know.

Mistakes we often see

• Guessing the number of elevators instead of a traffic study
• Ignoring shaft and entrance dimensions in design
• Choosing finishes that cannot handle the use

How to avoid them

Involve the elevator company early in designing hospitals; changes on paper are far easier than after construction.

Suitable elevators for hospitals

• Bed and stretcher elevators
• Visitor passenger elevators
• Food and service lifts

What matters in hospitals

• Wide cars and precise leveling
• Emergency priority mode
• Easy-to-sanitize finishes

Yes, we survey the site, review the drawings and propose the right solution before quoting.

Do you maintain existing elevators in hospitals?

Yes, with periodic contracts and a 24/7 emergency team — even if another company installed them, after assessing their condition.
