A Stannah ‘64-Person Revamp’ Lifts Hospital into 21st Century

The Bristol branch of Stannah Lift Services Ltd has completed the refurbishment of two 32-person, traction-drive bed lifts in the £39 million Terence Lewis building at Derriford Hospital, a large teaching hospital serving Plymouth and nearby areas in Devon and Cornwall.

In keeping with the hospital’s commitment to excellent patient care, Bristol Stannah Lift Services Ltd was commissioned to give the two lifts a complete overhaul. From satin stainless-steel lift cars to entrances, controllers and slings, all components were replaced in order to deliver and maintain the highest level of long-lasting performance within this challenging environment.

Contracts and Specialist Services Manager, John Stewart, commented: “To maintain the safety for our patients, equipment has to operate to the highest standard. The two bed lifts refurbished by Stannah provide a superior service for the safe and efficient movement of patients and staff with the inclusion of expensive and sophisticated lift technology.”

Stannah Lift Services maintains, services, repairs, modernises and refurbishes all types of lifts, stairlifts, escalators and moving walkways – not only those from the Stannah product range, but also other lift manufacturers’ equipment. The company also offers a bespoke lifts service, custom-building lifts to meet customers’ specific requirements.
