A hospital elevator is a special type of elevator designed for use in hospitals and medical centers. This type of elevator is used to transfer patients and medical equipment safely and efficiently from one floor to another in the hospital.

Hospital elevators are installed in two models:

Lift the bed or carry the patient
Personnel elevatorTips about hospital elevators

- The door width of these elevators should be at least 130 cm and its height should be 210 cm.

- The net width of the cabin should be at least 140 cm and the net depth of the cabin should be at least 240 cm so that the bed with a companion can easily fit in it. The capacity of such an elevator is 1600 kg (equivalent to 21 people).

- There are also larger bed lifts with capacities of 1800 kg (equivalent to 24 people), 2000 kg, and 2500 kg, in which, in addition to the space required for the bed and companion, there is also space to carry some medical equipment with the patient. It is possible.- Building architects should note that the overhead of these types of elevators reaches about 460 cm (compared to normal elevators, which is about 380 cm).

- It is better to consider the "right of priority" control key for these types of elevators so that in emergency situations, employees and officials can take control of the elevator.

- In these elevators, just like passenger elevators, it is better to use curtain photocells at the entrance of the cabin, a fan for air conditioning inside the cabin, and a telephone or a device that can make contact with the outside if the elevator breaks down.
