Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A Healthcare Infrastructure Elevator refers specifically to the lifts designed for the logistical backbone of a medical facility, often called "Service Lifts" or "Freight Lifts." They are built for extreme durability, handling heavy, constant use, and the rough nature of transporting supplies, laundry carts, waste, and food trollies. These elevators often feature higher load ratings than patient lifts, reinforced interiors with heavy-gauge steel paneling, and robust door operators designed for frequent opening/closing cycles under demanding conditions.
Critically, these lifts play a major role in infection and process control. Many facilities utilize dedicated 'Clean' and 'Dirty' infrastructure elevators to prevent cross-contamination between sterile supplies (food, linens) and biohazardous waste. They incorporate features like seamless, easy-to-wash flooring, integrated car ventilation systems, and potentially specialized access controls to restrict use to authorized staff, ensuring the smooth, segregated flow of materials essential for the hospital's non-patient operations.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Maximizes Operational Throughput
High load capacity and heavy-duty construction ensure the rapid, continuous movement of large, heavy supplies and logistics carts without structural compromise.
Enhances Segregation and Security
Dedicated staff-only access controls prevent unauthorized public use, securing sensitive areas and ensuring materials flow is isolated from patient traffic.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Integrated Security System: Can be tied to the Building Management System (BMS) to enforce time-of-day restrictions or lockouts on certain floors (e.g., pharmacy).
- Heavy-Duty Door Operator: Utilizes a motor and components rated for exceptionally high cycle counts and potential door obstructions, minimizing breakdown frequency.
- Load Cell Technology: Precisely measures the load in the car, preventing unsafe overloading and dynamically adjusting the motor torque for better efficiency and control.

Application Scenarios
Suitable for a variety of residential environments
Central Sterile Supply and Logistics
Moves sterile instruments, bulky disposable supplies, and medical devices between storage facilities and the operating room preparation areas.
Food Services and Waste Management
Dedicated transport for food trollies from the kitchen to the wards and for the secure, contained movement of biohazardous waste and general refuse.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Vertical Zoning Strategy: Determining the optimal speed and number of lifts based on simulations of material transport volume to prevent logistical bottlenecks.
- Floor Loading Rating: Ensuring the lift car and landing floor can handle the concentrated, dynamic forces exerted by pallet jacks or wheeled carts crossing the threshold.
- Electrical Interference Shielding: Installing necessary shielding or filters to ensure the lift's electrical components do not interfere with nearby sensitive lab or imaging equipment.
Usage Factors
- 'Clean'/'Dirty' Protocol Enforcement: Clear policies and staff management systems to ensure strict adherence to segregated material flow protocols.
- Life-Cycle Cost Analysis: Prioritizing components with long duty cycles and low failure rates to minimize the high cost of emergency, specialized maintenance.
- Scheduled Access: Programming the lift to temporarily prioritize service functions (e.g., linen delivery) during low-traffic periods to maximize efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
By design, hospitals often use separate, physically distinct elevators for 'clean' materials (food, sterile items) and 'dirty' materials (waste, laundry) and utilize non-porous car materials for aggressive cleaning.
While permissible in an emergency, service lifts typically lack the ride quality and interior hygiene standards of a dedicated Patient Elevator and are generally restricted to staff and material transport.
Speed varies by building height. Since logistics flow is crucial, they are often mid-to-high speed (up to 2.5 m/s), faster than typical low-rise freight lifts.
