The Universal Bed Stacker is designed to solve one of the most common hospital storage problems, where do extra beds go when they are not in use, out of service, or needed for quick swaps. When storage space runs out, overflow beds and bulky equipment get pushed into corridors and support areas, creating congestion and making retrieval slower than it should be.

By storing beds vertically, the Universal Bed Stacker keeps replacement beds staged in a defined footprint while freeing up floor space for daily operations. It is also designed to support other large hospital equipment used daily, including wheelchairs, carts, and cribs, which makes it more versatile than bed-only systems. This gives facilities a cleaner, more organized way to manage equipment without sacrificing accessibility.

How Universal Bed Stackers Work

Universal Bed Stackers store hospital beds vertically to free up floor space and reduce corridor staging. Instead of lining extra beds along walls or taking over storage rooms, beds are placed onto a platform and raised into vertical storage levels, keeping equipment in a predictable footprint while remaining accessible for quick retrieval. Units can store 2 to 5 levels vertically with up to 1000 lbs per level, and the system can be configured for front-load or side-load access based on the room layout. Adjustable ramps and wheel stops guide beds into position, and the color-coded controls make up and down operation clear for staff.

To use the Universal Bed Stacker:

  1. Place the loading ramps on the platform.

  2. Roll the bed or equipment onto the platform and position it using the wheel stops.

  3. Remove the ramps and confirm the loading area is clear.

  4. Use the color-coded controls to raise the platform and create the next open storage position.

  5. Repeat the process until the desired storage levels are filled.

Because hospitals store equipment in different spaces, the system can be set up for front-load or side-load access and can be modified in the field if the loading orientation needs to change later.

Healthcare Testimonials

parkland hospital

“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.”

“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!”
