Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
The term "Hospital Building Elevator" refers to the entire vertical conveyance strategy within a medical complex. A modern hospital utilizes three distinct types of elevators: Patient/Bed Lifts (large, smooth, for clinical use), Public/Visitor Lifts (standard passenger lifts, often separated from patient flow), and Service Lifts (heavy-duty, for logistics). The critical design element is the central control system, which manages the traffic flow and prioritizes calls based on urgency (e.g., HES), traffic type, and time of day.
In major hospital construction, the elevators are typically grouped into zones: one bank serving the lower, high-traffic floors (e.g., lobby, clinics, ER), and another bank serving the upper, slower-traffic inpatient floors (e.g., wards, administration). This strategy ensures that high-priority patient movement is not delayed by routine visitor or staff traffic. All systems are interconnected with the building's fire, security, and emergency power systems, ensuring a coordinated response during any critical incident.
Basic Product Parameters
Diverse options to meet the needs of different families
| Elevator Banks | Minimum Three (Patient, Visitor, Service) |
| Control System | Group Supervisory Control with Emergency Priority |
| Travel Distance | Often High-Rise (Traction Required) |
| Motor Type | Gearless MRL (Energy Efficiency and Precision) |
| Car Protection | IP-Rated (For high-pressure cleaning) |
| Speed Range | 0.5 m/s to 5.0 m/s (Varies by function/height) |
Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Streamlines Visitor and Patient Access
By physically and functionally separating visitor traffic from patient movement, the system maintains patient privacy and ensures clinical efficiency.
Guaranteed Functionality in Emergencies
Integrated emergency power and fire recall features ensure that critical lifts remain operational for evacuation or emergency medical procedures.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Integrated Wayfinding: Elevator lobbies and car panels often feature digital screens displaying directions, clinic hours, and real-time floor information to assist visitors.
- Car Diagnostic Systems: Continuous data logging and real-time fault reporting allow maintenance teams to proactively fix issues before the elevator fails.
- Fire/Smoke Recall: Automatic recall to a designated floor (usually the ground or an evacuation level) upon detection of smoke or fire, bypassing all other calls.
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Hospital Elevator Traffic Management | Standard Office Building Traffic Management |
| Priority Calls | Medical Emergency (HES) and Fire are highest priority | Executive override or Fire are highest priority |
| Car Size Driver | Accommodating Hospital Beds/Gurneys | Accommodating peak passenger density |
| Load Factor | Weight and Volume of Equipment is critical | Focus on passenger count and weight |
| Design Goal | Zero downtime for critical lifts | Optimizing passenger waiting time |
| Environment | Strict hygiene and low noise required | Aesthetics and speed are primary factors |
Installation Process
Standardized installation, efficient and worry-free

4. Equipment Installation (3-7 days)
A professional installation team will carry out on-site construction and modular assembly to minimize the impact on residential life.
5. Debugging and Testing (1-2 days)
Comprehensive system debugging and safety performance testing were conducted to ensure that all indicators met international standards.
6. Use Training + Delivery
Operation training, document handover, activation of remote monitoring service, and formal delivery for use.
Application Scenarios
Suitable for a variety of residential environments
Inter-Departmental Patient Transfer
Moving patients between different departments (e.g., Radiology, Oncology, Physical Therapy) quickly and with minimal disruption.
Public Access to Clinics and Offices
Dedicated elevator banks efficiently move visitors and ambulatory patients to clinics, labs, and administrative offices during peak business hours.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Vertical Zoning: Using computer simulations to determine the optimal zoning (low-rise vs. high-rise banks) and speed profiles for each elevator group to meet expected demands.
- Seismic Resistance: Ensuring the elevator installation meets enhanced seismic code requirements, common for critical public buildings like hospitals.
- Harmonic Filtration: Installing filters to suppress electrical harmonics generated by MRL drives, preventing interference with sensitive medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT).
Usage Factors
- Security Integration: Interfacing elevator access with the hospital's security system, limiting access to sensitive floors (e.g., pharmacy, neonatal ICU) to authorized staff only.
- Energy Consumption: Selecting high-efficiency gearless traction motors and LED lighting to minimize the substantial energy costs associated with constant 24/7 operation.
- Future Expansion Planning: Designing the core and hoistways to potentially accommodate future speed upgrades, new technology, or additional elevators as the hospital expands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
A Patient Lift is designed for patient comfort and large beds. A Service Lift is heavier-duty, faster, and used for logistics (food, linen, waste) and staff, often featuring robust interiors and utility access.
MRL (Machine Room Less) elevators are dominant in new construction due to space efficiency and excellent ride quality. Traditional machine room traction is still used for very high-rise applications.
Ideally, no. Hospitals try to restrict patient elevators to clinical use only (staff, beds, gurneys) to ensure rapid response and to maintain hygiene and patient privacy.
