You need a better hospital bed storage solution, like the Vidir Hospital Bedlift. This automated hospital bed storage rack holds up to five beds per unit in a compact footprint, helping hospitals recover as much as 70% of previously lost space. And it’s not just about space: it’s also about safety, efficiency, and protecting your bottom line.
Maximize space without expanding your footprint
Hospital beds are essential, but when not in use, they become some of the most cumbersome equipment to store. Hallways, unused rooms, and maintenance areas often double as makeshift bed storage, creating congestion and compliance concerns.
The Vidir Hospital Bedlift eliminates this clutter by moving storage up, not out. With a vertical design that safely stacks beds, the system transforms unused airspace into high-density storage, freeing up critical floor space for clinical and operational use.
“Hospital square footage is at a premium. If we can start putting beds straight up, instead of taking up floor space, it just makes more sense.”
— Gary Greene, Manager of Plant Operations, KGH

Boost safety and stay in compliance
Improper bed storage creates more than just a visual mess – it poses real risks. Cluttered hallways can violate fire codes and accessibility regulations. According to The Joint Commission (previously JCAHO), corridor storage is a common compliance issue, making smart, compliant storage solutions a necessity. Manually moving heavy beds in and out of tight spaces increases the risk of staff injury (and bed damage). Dedicated systems like the bedlift also reduce organizational liability by minimizing injury risk and protecting valuable assets from incidental damage.
The Vidir hospital bedlift is designed with safety and compliance in mind. With a push-button interface and built-in safety features, it automates bed storage and retrieval, minimizing manual handling and ensuring beds are stored in line with health and safety standards. This reduces staff strain and allows clinical teams to focus more time and energy on what matters most: the patient.
Protect your assets (and your bottom line)
As major capital assets, hospital beds must be stored carefully to avoid unnecessary wear and tear that can affect patient comfort and drive up maintenance or replacement costs. In fact, hospital bed frames are expected to last 10–15 years, but poor storage or damage to electrical components can significantly shorten that lifespan…or require full replacement. A recent study found that many hospital bed failures stem from preventable mechanical issues, often due to improper handling or storage. Effective hospital bed storage systems are one of the simplest ways to reduce those risks and extend the life of your equipment.
“Having the bedlift enables us to improve turnaround time and make beds available to patients as soon as we need them.”
— Maryam Mirjafari, Head of Clinical Engineering and Medical Physics, Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
The Vidir Hospital Bedlift minimizes unnecessary contact, movement, and exposure – helping protect bed components and extend their usable life. This leads to stronger ROI and a smoother patient experience, resulting in fewer delays, more efficient admissions, and improved patient flow across departments.
And, of course, your investment doesn’t end at the point of purchase. The real cost of ownership includes everything it takes to keep a system running over time. Maintenance, repairs, and staffing costs all factor into the total cost of ownership. Investing in an automated hospital bed storage rack can reduce long-term costs by protecting beds from damage and extending their usable life.

Upgrade your storage, upgrade your workflow.
Automated vertical storage isn’t just about saving space. It’s about making hospital workflows faster, safer, and more efficient. The Vidir Hospital Bedlift does that for beds. For supplies, the Vidir Medical Supplies Carousel helps control access to critical items by limiting retrieval to approved personnel, while keeping everything organized and easy to find. Together, these systems support a smarter, more secure approach to medical storage automation.
