Electric patient transport buggies for hospital grounds

Electric patient transport buggies for hospital grounds

Quiet, step-free electric buggies for moving patients and visitors around hospital grounds and between buildings, closing the distances a large site puts between the car park, the entrance and the ward.

Overview

Why Hawke electric vehicles suit hospital patient transport

A large hospital site can be a long way across. A patient arriving for an appointment, a visitor heading to a ward or someone being discharged may face a walk far longer than they can manage, from a distant car park, between buildings, across the estate. An on-grounds patient buggy closes that gap. Often run by volunteer drivers, it carries patients and visitors the part of the journey they cannot walk, in comfort and with dignity, and its clean, quiet running suits moving between outdoor paths and indoor concourses alike. This is non-clinical transport around the site, not an ambulance or a clinical vehicle, and specifying it well means matching seating, accessibility and range to how your grounds actually work.

In practice

Where they earn their keep

Car park to entrance and clinic

Car park to entrance and clinic

Patients carried from a distant or overflow car park to the right entrance, so the walk never becomes the hardest part of the appointment.

Between buildings across the estate

Between buildings across the estate

Patients and visitors moved between wards, clinics and departments spread across a large site, in comfort rather than on foot.

Step-free travel for reduced mobility

Step-free travel for reduced mobility

A wheelchair-accessible configuration lets a patient travel in their own chair, level and secured, with no undignified transfer.

Discharge and visitor support

Discharge and visitor support

Patients supported to the car park or transport on discharge, and visitors helped to and from the wards, easing pressure on staff and volunteers.

Comfort and step-free access
Dignity

Comfort and step-free access

Comfortable, low-step seating and a wheelchair-accessible option let patients travel with dignity, whatever their mobility. The layout is specified for genuine step-free access rather than a token adaptation.

Environment

Clean and quiet, inside and out

FAQ

Hospital patient transport questions, answered

Is this an ambulance or clinical vehicle?+

No. These are non-clinical buggies for moving patients and visitors around hospital grounds and between buildings, the part of the journey a large site makes difficult. They are not ambulances and are not intended for clinical or emergency patient transport.

Can a patient travel in their own wheelchair?+

Yes, in a wheelchair-accessible configuration. The patient boards by ramp and travels in their own chair, level and secured, which avoids a transfer. We specify the access and restraints for genuine step-free travel.

Who typically drives these?+

On hospital sites they are often run by volunteer drivers or estates staff, carrying patients and visitors around the grounds. We specify seating, controls and access for that use and your site.

Can it be used indoors as well as outdoors?+

Yes. With no exhaust and near-silent running, the buggies suit concourses and corridors as well as outdoor paths, so one vehicle can cover a journey that moves between inside and outside.

How many can it carry?+

Configurations range from a compact buggy carrying a patient and a companion up to larger shuttles combining seating with a wheelchair space. We specify the mix for your typical patient and visitor loads.
