Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
This term highlights the application-specific nature of the elevator, emphasizing that its function is subservient to the clinical operations of the facility. The design must account for the highly regulated and critical environment of a medical setting. This includes designing the car interior to minimize impact damage from rolling equipment (metal bumper rails), ensuring easy-to-clean and anti-microbial surfaces for infection control, and incorporating high reliability for 24/7 operation.
For larger medical facilities, the elevator is a strategic tool. The placement of the elevator banks relative to key areas—like the surgical suite, ER, lab, and central supply—is optimized to minimize the time for critical transfers. The machine systems are often MRL (Machine Room Less) for high-rise buildings, maximizing the space efficiency within the facility's footprint. The controls and operating software are built with a high degree of integration with the Building Management System (BMS) to coordinate maintenance and emergency response.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Operational Efficiency
Elevators are specified and zoned to match the facility's unique traffic demands (e.g., high-speed for research staff, slow/smooth for patient beds), maximizing movement efficiency.
Mitigates Infection Risk
The selection of materials and high air change rates within the car helps to break the chain of infection transmission between floors.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Integrated Emergency Stops: Includes a dedicated, clearly marked stop button inside the car for use by staff in a medical emergency where sudden movement must be avoided.
- Energy-Saving Modes: Elevators in low-use administrative wings can be programmed to switch to energy-saver standby until a call is registered, reducing standby power consumption.
- Destination Dispatch Integration: In high-rise medical towers, advanced destination dispatch systems improve efficiency by directing users to specific cars based on their destination floor.

Application Scenarios
Suitable for a variety of residential environments
Veterinary Hospitals and Clinics
Used for safely moving large animals or animals in cages/gurneys between floors, requiring similar size and smoothness standards.
Blood Banks and Organ Transport
Dedicated, secure elevators or priority access for the rapid, smooth transport of highly time-sensitive and critical biological materials.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Door Sensor Density: Specifying a high-density, closely spaced light curtain to ensure even small obstructions (e.g., an IV pole wheel) are detected before door contact.
- Pit Access Safety: Implementing strict procedures and safety equipment (ladders, lighting) for personnel entering the pit for maintenance, given the constant operational tempo.
- Interference Testing: Post-installation testing to confirm that the elevator's electrical noise does not interfere with the functioning of nearby sensitive medical equipment.
Usage Factors
- Emergency HES Training: Regular drills and certification for all key medical staff on the correct procedure for taking control of the elevator for emergency transport.
- Contingency Planning: Having a contract that specifies the availability of spare parts for critical components (e.g., motor, drive) to minimize the impact of long-term breakdowns.
- Public Health Integration: Ensuring the elevator system can be quickly reconfigured (e.g., isolation mode) in response to a public health event like a pandemic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
Hydraulic lifts are limited to low-rise buildings (2-4 stops) and slower speeds. For most mid- to high-rise medical facilities, the speed and smoothness required necessitate MRL gearless traction systems.
Differential air pressure (e.g., positive pressure in a sterile wing) is used to control airflow. The elevator shaft is often sealed to prevent it from acting as a contamination pathway between zones.
Not necessarily in weight capacity, but the dimensions are different. Medical lifts are typically deeper and slightly narrower than a commercial freight lift to fit a hospital bed, not a wide pallet.
