Lifts for Healthcare, Hospitals & Nursing Homes
Lifts for hospitals, clinics and care homes, designed for safe, easy access.
Trusted Platform Lifts for Hospitals
Every second counts in healthcare environments, where lifts carry patients, equipment, staff and visitors between floors throughout the day. At Alliance Platform Lifts, we understand the important role that lifts play in hospitals, care facilities and nursing homes. We provide compliant, dependable lift solutions that prioritise safety, hygiene and accessibility from the ground up.
In hospitals, where time is often critical, lift systems must perform perfectly. A delay of even a few hours can impact patient care. That’s why we design hospital lifts with durability, speed, and efficiency built at their core. Our systems are ideal for both new builds and renovations of existing buildings.
Alliance offers a range of platform lift and cabin lift systems that can accommodate:
- Patient stretchers and hospital beds
- Wheelchairs and mobility aids
- Medical staff and support teams
- Equipment and goods transportation
Explore our premium APL Elite Cabin Lifts, APL Heavy-Duty Cabin Lift and APL Heavy-Duty Platform Lift to see how our flexible range meets the demands of healthcare environments.
We work closely with hospital project managers, facilities teams, and architects to ensure our hospital lifts not only comply with regulations but also reduce noise, improve energy efficiency, and provide smooth, reliable journeys day in and day out.

Frequently asked questions about lifts for healthcare buildings
Answers to the questions we are asked most often. Can’t find what you need? Call 01206 803 132.
What type of lifts are suitable for hospitals?
Hospitals typically use stretcher-capable cabin lifts or platform lifts, such as the APL Heavy-Duty Cabin Lift and APL Heavy-Duty Platform Lift. These are designed to carry patients, staff, and equipment quickly and safely between floors. We also supply goods lifts for non-passenger transport.
What are the standard dimensions of a hospital lift?
Hospital lift dimensions are modified to meet clinical needs, typically accommodating one full-size stretcher and support staff. Our standard cabins allow for extra-wide doors and deep platforms for ease of access.
Do your healthcare lifts meet NHS or CQC standards?
Yes. All our hospital and nursing home lifts comply with NHS and CQC standards, along with Machinery Directive and EN 81-41 where applicable.
Can hospital lifts be customised for different patient needs?
Absolutely. From lowered buttons for seated users to antimicrobial surfaces, we tailor every lift to suit the needs of your patients and facility.
How often do hospital and nursing home lifts need servicing?
We recommend regular servicing every 6 months, depending on usage. Our healthcare lift maintenance plans are designed to keep your lifts operating at peak performance with 24/7 emergency support available.
