Healthcare

When designing healthcare projects, conventional calculation assumptions may need to be modified: ride comfort for recovering patients may take precedence over outright performance.

Many hospitals need multifunctional lift equipment. Lifts may need to carry not only patients but portable X-Ray machines (with substantial point loadings), other heavy or bulky equipment, goods, trolleys and the general public. Careful consideration of all the uses and expected performance levels will allow the lift system to be designed to deliver the required solution. Clearly communicating with the potential suppliers will ensure the very best equipment, suitable for the environment, is supplied.

Most hospital environments work 24 hours, so ease of maintenance, combined with minimal down time are essential in providing the critical service between levels required within the hospital.
