A hospital bed lift in Kota needs a car about 2400 mm deep, so a full bed, the patient and an attendant fit inside, and a wide door of 800 to 1200 mm. Liftmate plans bespoke hospital bed lifts for hospitals, nursing homes and clinics in Kota and across the Hadoti region, including Bundi, Baran and Jhalawar.
This guide explains, in simple words, how to size a bed lift, where it should go in the building, which safety parts matter most and how to keep it running every day. It is written for hospital owners, doctors who are building a nursing home, architects and project managers in Kota. For the full planning basics, also read our hospital bed lift planning guide.
What size should a hospital bed lift in Kota be?
The most important number is the depth of the car. A hospital bed is long, and the stretcher, drip stand and attendant need room too. The Indian Standard IS 14665 (Part 1): 2000 recommends a car 2400 mm deep for a hospital lift. The width and door change with the number of persons.
| Persons | Rated load | Car inside (width x depth) | Door opening | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 1020 kg | 1000 x 2400 mm | 800 mm | Small nursing homes and clinics |
| 20 | 1360 kg | 1300 x 2400 mm | 1200 mm | Most multi-speciality hospitals |
| 26 | 1768 kg | 1600 x 2400 mm | 1200 mm | Large hospitals, ICU and OT routes |
For most hospitals in Kota, the 1300 x 2400 mm car with a 1200 mm door is the comfortable choice. A bed can turn in without bumping, and a second attendant or a monitor trolley still fits.
Which buildings in Kota and Hadoti need a bed lift?
Kota is the main medical centre for the Hadoti region. Patients travel in from Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar and nearby towns, so hospitals here see a steady flow of beds and stretchers between floors. A bed lift is needed in any building where a patient may need to move lying down:
- Multi-speciality hospitals with wards, ICU and operation theatres on different floors
- Nursing homes and maternity homes with two or more floors
- Orthopaedic, eye and day-care surgery centres
- Diagnostic and imaging centres with scan rooms on upper floors
- Old-age care homes and rehabilitation centres
What changes for hospital buildings in Kota?
Three local points shape a good bed lift plan in Kota and Hadoti.
- Heat: summers are long and hot. We plan airflow at the top of the shaft, a cabin fan and shade for any machine space, so the ride stays calm for patients.
- Power cuts: a patient must never be stuck between floors. An automatic rescue device and a link to the hospital generator are planned from the start.
- Older buildings: many nursing homes grow from a house or a small block. We check walls, slabs and space for a new shaft before any design is fixed.
How do you plan a bed lift for a Kota hospital?
- List the patient routes: casualty, wards, ICU, OT, scans.
- Choose the car size from the table above.
- Place the lift close to casualty and the OT floor, away from public waiting areas.
- Book a Liftmate site survey to confirm shaft, pit, headroom and power.
- Plan Electrical Inspectorate permission in Rajasthan before installation.
- Agree the finish: stainless steel or easy-clean panels and a non-slip floor.
- Install, test, train staff and start a dedicated care programme.
Bed lift, passenger lift or dumbwaiter: which does a hospital need?
Most hospitals need more than one kind of lift. Each one does a different job.
| Lift | Main job | Car shape | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bed lift | Patients on beds and stretchers | Long and deep, wide door | Near casualty, ICU and OT |
| Passenger lift | Visitors, staff and walking patients | Wider than deep | Near the main entrance |
| Dumbwaiter | Medicines, samples, linen and food | Small cabin, no riders | Pharmacy, lab and kitchen routes |
Keeping these jobs apart keeps the bed lift ready for patients when it matters. Read more on small service lifts in our dumbwaiter lift guide.
Which safety features should a hospital bed lift have?
- Precise levelling: the car floor stops level with each floor, so bed wheels roll in smoothly.
- Soft start and stop: a whisper-quiet, steady ride for patients after surgery.
- Automatic rescue device: moves the car to the nearest floor in a power cut.
- Door sensors: doors stay open while a bed is moving through.
- Overload sensing and alarm: the lift will not move if the load is too high.
- Attendant control: staff can hold the lift for a patient trip.
Our guide to lift safety systems explains each of these in plain words.
How do you keep a bed lift running every day?
A hospital lift works many times a day, every day of the year. Regular care keeps it safe and avoids stops at busy hours. A good programme includes planned visits, checks of the rescue device, door sensors and levelling, cleaning of door tracks and quick response when something needs attention.
