Injury reduction
Healthcare workers face significant injury and fatigue risks due to the physical demands of manually moving hospital beds and stretchers. Staff often walk and push beds for 15-20 km per day, with beds and patients becoming increasingly heavy. These preventable challenges not only impact staff morale and availability, but also contribute to high turnover and escalating costs.
StaminaLift bed movers target these issues by eliminating the need for manual patient transfers, providing a proven solution to reduce injuries, improve staff morale, and enhance the patient experience.

Proven injury prevention
Hospitals are among the most hazardous workplaces, with back injuries and muscular strain being common concerns. Manual bed pushing leads to fatigue and frequent injuries, particularly as patients and beds become heavier. These issues are costly, disruptive, and completely avoidable.
Battery-powered patient transfer systems, such as the StaminaLift TS5000, are specifically designed to eliminate the strain of manual bed pushing. In hospitals using StaminaLift bed movers, bed-moving injuries are not just reduced - they’re eliminated.
Field-testing for results
Since 2003, StaminaLift bed movers have been rigorously tested and refined in leading Australian hospitals, delivering measurable benefits in real-world settings.
After introducing StaminaLift patient transfer systems, bed-moving injuries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in South Australia were reduced from 20 per year to zero, demonstrating the life-changing impact of eliminating manual bed transfers.
