Common lift questions — plain answers

Plain answers to questions we hear every week — from homeowners, RWAs and site managers across Delhi NCR. No brochure language. If your building is different, call us for a survey.

Hospital, goods & industrial lifts

Stretcher lifts and goods lifts are not the same as passenger lifts — different size, load and safety needs.

Quick answer

How is a hospital stretcher lift different from a passenger lift?

Wider doors, larger cabin, higher capacity — built so beds and stretchers fit and floors level smoothly. Don't squeeze a passenger car into a hospital role; regulations and daily use both suffer.

What our engineer says

Don't put a passenger lift in a hospital stretcher role — measure the bed diagonal first. In Sahibabad goods pits, monsoon drainage matters as much as the motor.

Questions & answers

How is a hospital stretcher lift different from a passenger lift?

Wider doors, larger cabin, higher capacity — built so beds and stretchers fit and floors level smoothly. Don't squeeze a passenger car into a hospital role; regulations and daily use both suffer.

Practical tipWe measure diagonal stretcher fit — narrow doors mean beds jam at the landing.

What capacity does a warehouse goods lift need?

Based on your heaviest load and pallet size — often 500 kg to 3000 kg or more. Hydraulic goods lifts are common in Sahibabad and industrial Ghaziabad. Travel height and pit condition go into the quote.

Practical tipOverloading above rated capacity damages bumpers and trips safety devices.

Can a goods lift go outdoors or in a factory bay?

Yes with weather protection and correct ratings. Cage and hydraulic freight lifts are common in NCR factories. Survey covers rain exposure, drainage and loading dock alignment.

Practical tipOutdoor pits flood in monsoon without drainage — that's a repeat breakdown waiting to happen.

Do you service dumbwaiters and capsule lifts?

Yes — restaurant dumbwaiters, hotel service lifts and facade capsule lifts. Same survey-first approach as passenger lifts. Custom glass on capsules can take longer to replace.

Practical tipRestaurant dumbwaiters need regular grease cleaning — smell and jamming follow if ignored.

Can goods and passenger lifts share one AMC?

Yes — scope is defined in the contract, often with separate checklists per lift type. Heavy freight may need more frequent visits; we state that in the proposal.

Practical tipFactories running three shifts may need quarterly visits, not the same schedule as a housing society.
