Seven bed lifts in two regional hospitals have been brought bang up to date by the East Midlands branch of Stannah Lift Services.

All lifts have a lifetime and this long-serving septet had reached the end of reliable service. Despite previous part improvements they were beginning to let people down and undermine hospital service.

The bed lifts are ranged over two sites: four bed lifts at Scunthorpe General and three at Diana, Princess of Wales. Major improvement works were vital in order to bring the lifts up to new/current regulations, which included incorporating new landing doors and frames with formal fire certification.

The East Midlands branch of Stannah Lift Services was awarded the contract by North Lincolnshire Hospital Trust – a contract won on the strength of an excellent servicing history with the hospitals’ bed lifts. This substantial refurbishment means that both hospitals can sustain their first class service to patients and staff alike.
