Hospital Elevator

Hospital Elevator

Hospital elevators are used for simple transportation of a patient on a wheelchair to wheeling away a critical patient on a stretcher without disturbing his life support system with doctors and nurses, smoothly, silently, and swiftly, without jerks and shocks. Elevators for medical purposes are vertical transport equipment used in hospitals and other relevant places to move patients and surgical instruments. Ar-Raafi offers a Hospital elevator in Auto Door and Manual door operation.

Hospital elevators are core components of any medical facility, providing a comfortable ride for the safety of patients, as well as delivering various other value-adding functions to uphold the high standards of the facility.

Elevators and Hospital Efficiency

Elevators in hospitals can be vulnerable to delayed transport times and congestion which can cause efficiency complications. If you’re managing or working in a hospital that depends on elevators to move patients, here are some options you have to become more effective.


Bed Sensors

Your hospital elevator may have a patient inside, but will still stop at other floors on the way to the patient’s destination. This won’t happen if a patient is in an acute situation, as staff will be able to override the elevator’s programming and go directly to the floor they need. However, if someone is simply going from radiology back to their room, that override won’t be active. That means delays for the patient and delays for the people getting on the elevator. However, this may soon become an annoyance of the past. Recent technologies developed by CEDES equip the elevator ceiling with sensors that detect the presence of a bed. When a patient is riding in the elevator, the sensors let the machine know to go directly to the selected destination without any stops.



Designated Elevators

While it’s almost impossible to keep visitors from wandering around a hospital, designating a specific bank of elevators for patient and staff use only can reduce some congestion and certainly make patients feel more comfortable. Patient privacy can be compromised when they’re grouped in an elevator with visitors. You could consider a card reader system for secure access to selected elevators to prevent outside use. If you do choose to set aside elevators specifically for staff, make sure they’re central ones.




Cost Efficiency

There’s only so much an elevator can do for you, but did you know one of those things could be to save you money? Energy efficiency and recycling technologies are more available than ever. For example, you could consider outfitting your elevator with a regenerative drive. This is a special kind of motor that functions by capturing energy from the elevator’s motion and feeding it back into the building’s electrical system. If the elevator is going down with a heavy load, or up with a light load, there’s extra energy

generated by the motor which doesn’t get used, because the elevator doesn’t have to work as hard.
