One of the hospitals’ most challenging storage issues is finding space to store broken or unused hospital beds. Without the right hospital bed storage solutions, these excess beds end up cluttering corridors, causing code violations and hampering hospital efficiency.
Municipalities often require hospitals to keep more beds than they can conveniently accommodate in their existing square footage, which leaves them with an excess of unused beds that must still be quickly accessible in case of a sudden surge of patients. In addition, around 10% of hospital beds require maintenance at any given time. Since most hospitals don’t have adequate space designated for hospital bed storage, they crowd them wherever they can find extra space, such as in hallways and unused rooms.
Hospital bed lifts solve these problems by storing beds vertically to save floor space, free up hallways, centralize hospital bed storage, and improve efficiency. Read on to learn how hospital bed lifts work and their benefits and specifications. You can also check out more of our healthcare storage solutions here.

How Hospital Bed Lifts Work
Hospital bed lifts stack hospital beds, storing up to five beds vertically. These automated hospital bed storage solutions operate according to a LIFO (Last In, First Out) system. Each loaded bed raises to make room for another bed underneath. Hospital bed lifts have semi-automatic push-button controls, and a single individual can accomplish the entire storage and retrieval process.
To use the hospital bed lift:
- Place the removable ramps on the lift.
- Roll the first bed onto the platform.
- Engage the bed brakes and platform safety stops.
- Remove the ramps and push the button to lift the platform.
- Repeat as needed for up to five beds.
Hospital bed lifts are available in several different models to meet your needs. Units can store two, three, four, or five beds depending on your ceiling height and storage requirements.

Benefits of Hospital Bed Storage Lifts
Saves Floor Space
Saves Floor SpaceHospital bed lifts make the most of limited storage space by stacking beds vertically. The bed lifts to store up to five beds in a slightly larger footprint than a single hospital bed. Thus, they can increase your hospital bed storage capacity by up to 70%. Visit our online store to see our healthcare storage products.
With hospital bed storage lifts, you can store more hospital beds in the maintenance department for convenient access to beds that need repair. You’ll also free up more space in the hospital for storing other supplies or more productive activities.
Eliminates Safety Hazards
When hospitals clutter up hallways with unused beds, they risk fines or even loss of accreditation for violating JCAHO standards for hospital bed storage. Hospital bed lifts allow you to clear your hallways and comply with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requirements for fire safety. You’ll keep your staff and patients safer while meeting hospital bed storage and egress integrity standards.
Preserves Hospital Beds
Hospital beds are expensive, costing around $4,000 on average. They contain sensitive electronic components, and it’s important to store them safely to minimize the risk of damage to these costly pieces of equipment.
Hospital bed lifts protect hospital beds, maximizing their longevity. Hospital beds are much less likely to be damaged when stored in a bed lift than when crowded into corridors or rooms where they can be bumped and jostled.
The hospital bed storage lifts also have safety features to protect stored beds further. Adjustable stops maintain bed stability during storage and operation. Obstruction sensors prevent beds from being lowered when the bottom position is occupied. Optional side and back panels provide additional safety when the lift is not against a wall, and an optional roll-down security gate restricts access to authorized personnel only.
Improves Efficiency
Hospital bed storage lifts improve the efficiency of hospital operations in several ways. With hospital bed lifts, you can centralize your hospital bed storage. Rather than having beds scattered throughout hallways and various rooms, you’ll be able to store all the beds in one or a few designated locations. This means you’ll always know where to find your stored hospital beds when needed.
Hospital bed lifts also allow staff to retrieve beds much more quickly. In the case of a surge in patients, staff can swiftly and quickly locate and retrieve the beds they need. The bed lifts can be easily operated by a single person at the push of a button, with no heavy lifting required.
Engineers and repair technicians will also be able to increase their productivity by locating and retrieving broken beds more quickly. There will be no more shuffling around cumbersome beds in crowded storage rooms; instead, beds can be retrieved in minutes. Broken beds are stored in the same room where repairs are performed for maximum convenience.

Healthcare Testimonials
“Southwest Solutions Group assisted us in the setup of equipment and services for our offsite medical record warehouse housing over one million charts. They have moved over 330,000 records from the main hospital to the medical record warehouse in a weekend time period, and converted thousands of charts for us. They have provided us a new chart tracking system, labeling system, and file conversion services over a multi-month process. Their IT group was able to modify our existing records management software to “talk” to our main software program so we could print color coded labels for our medical record charts. In addition, they have provided many other services to Parkland hospital including file shelving, hospital storage equipment needs, and software support. Southwest Solutions Group does exceptional work.”
“Our experience with Southwest Solutions Group could not have been better. Matt (sales rep) was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Our shelving project required many changes and revisions and Matt never flinched when thrown a challenge. Many thanks to the installation crew for putting in a twelve hour day to complete our project on time. We give a 100% satisfaction rating to Matt and the Southwest Solutions Group team.”
“Thank you for your donation! I wanted to let you know that we ordered a donor sign for our storage room. The sign will be displayed outside the storage room located near the main kitchen/dining room. This should give you some good exposure!”
