Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
The Patient Elevator is the most critical vertical transport system related to direct patient care. Its dimensions are standardized globally to allow a hospital bed (often up to 2.2 m in length) plus attending medical staff and essential equipment (e.g., IV poles, ventilators) to be easily wheeled in and out. The car depth and width are therefore significantly greater than a standard passenger car. The smooth ride quality is achieved through advanced control systems that finely manage the acceleration and deceleration curve, ensuring that the rate of change of acceleration (jerk) is minimal.
In addition to size and ride quality, Patient Elevators feature illuminated call buttons and floor indicators that are easy to read and accessible to patients in wheelchairs or staff pushing beds. The car walls often include a recessed baseboard and heavy-duty, rounded bumper rails to prevent damage and reduce cleaning catch points. The door cycle speed is typically set faster than a public elevator to reduce transfer time, but with highly sensitive light curtains to ensure safety.

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Door Resilience: Installing high-torque door motors capable of opening/closing the heavy, wide doors reliably for hundreds of cycles per day.
- Ride Quality Tuning: Fine-tuning the control system settings (acceleration, deceleration, jerk) during commissioning to achieve the smoothest possible ride required for patient comfort.
- Car Ventilation Rate: Ensuring the car's ventilation system changes the air at a specified, high rate to maintain air quality and minimize pathogen circulation.
Usage Factors
- Security Override: Implementing a system that automatically locks the elevator doors in the event of an internal security alert until the arrival of security personnel.
- Cleaning Protocols: Establishing specific cleaning agents and methods for the anti-microbial surfaces to prevent damage to the specialized finishes.
- Designated Use Policy: Clear signage and hospital policy to prevent non-essential staff, visitors, and ambulatory patients from utilizing the critical patient elevators.
