General Questions
What is a bed lift system?
A bed lifting system is a commercial-grade device that fits under a hotel or institutional bed frame, allowing housekeeping staff to raise the bed to a comfortable working height — typically waist height — at the touch of a button or press of a foot pedal. This eliminates the deep bending and heavy lifting associated with making beds, dramatically reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury. Ezi-Maid offers three models: the Electric Bed Lift (wireless remote-controlled), the Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift (foot-pedal operated, no power required), and the Manual Bed & Sofa Lift.
What types of properties use Ezi-Maid systems?
Ezi-Maid systems are used in hotels and resorts, aged care and healthcare facilities, cruise ships, serviced apartments, and residential accessibility applications. Ezi-Maid is the Preferred Supplier to Best Western Hotels, Choice Hotels, and Golden Chain Motels in Australia, and is installed across tens of thousands of rooms worldwide — including properties operated by Sydney Harbour Marriott, Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts, Fairmont, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz-Carlton, The Peninsula Hotels, Novotel, Peppers Resorts, Sandy Lane Resort (Barbados), Oberoi Hotels, and Marco Polo Hotels.
Has Ezi-Maid won any industry awards?
Yes. Ezi-Maid won the SafeWork NSW Safe Work Award for Best Solution to an Identified Workplace Health and Safety Issue. The judges noted: “Ezi-Maid is an innovative, practical, affordable, and user-friendly workplace solution that provides significant health and safety benefits.” Ezi-Maid was developed by founder John Koorey, who built his own hotel (Dorsal Boutique Hotel, Forster NSW) and designed the original lifting system to protect his own housekeeping team.
Product Questions
How does the Electric Bed Lift work?
The Ezi-Maid Electric Bed Lift uses a near-silent sealed electric motor with a wireless infrared remote control. The housekeeper presses a button to raise the bed to working height, makes the bed and cleans underneath, then returns the bed to floor position with another button press. The system includes an anti-drop locking mechanism, an overload protection circuit, and an emergency manual lowering function. When the room is set for guests, the unit sits just 90mm above the floor and is invisible.
How does the Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift work?
The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift uses a gas strut and torsion spring mechanism activated by a foot pedal — no electricity required. The housekeeper steps on the pedal to raise the bed, which locks in place at working height. Releasing the pedal lowers it back to the floor. It is simple, reliable, and requires zero power access under the bed.
What is the weight capacity?
The Electric Bed Lift accommodates beds and bedding weighing up to 140kg — suitable for queen, king, and super-king configurations with heavy commercial mattresses and bedding. The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift is rated for single beds up to 50kg.
What’s the difference between the Electric, Spring, and Manual models?
Electric Bed Lift: Mains-powered motor with wireless remote. Best for hotels using queen, king, and super-king beds in high-turnover environments. Weight capacity up to 140kg. Requires a standard mains outlet (power transformer available for all international voltages).
Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift: No power required — foot-pedal operated. Best for single beds in aged care, hostels, or secondary bedrooms. Weight capacity up to 50kg. Suitable for locations without convenient power access under the bed.
Manual Bed & Sofa Lift: Hand-operated, foot-pedal activated, completely power-free. Suitable for sofa beds, studio apartments, and serviced suites where flexibility and portability matter.
Is it compatible with all bed frame types?
The Electric Bed Lift is compatible with all major hotel bed frame types, including queen and king configurations. It requires a standard base frame and involves no permanent wall or floor fixing. Beds with under-bed drawer storage systems should be assessed individually — contact our commercial team with your bed frame specifications before ordering.
Does it require power access under the bed?
The Electric Bed Lift requires a standard mains power outlet. A power transformer is available to support all international voltage standards, making the system suitable for properties worldwide. The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift requires no power at all — it is entirely mechanical.
What is the noise level during operation?
The Electric Bed Lift motor is near-silent, making it suitable for early-morning housekeeping operations in luxury hotels and boutique properties where guest comfort is a priority.
Installation & Setup
How long does installation take?
The Electric Bed Lift is a two-person installation on a standard base frame — most installations are completed within one hour per unit. No permanent wall or floor fixing is required. The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift is designed for solo installation and fits existing bed bases without specialist tools.
Do I need a technician to install the system?
No specialist trades are required. The Electric Bed Lift is a two-person job using standard tools. Full installation guidelines are provided with every unit. For large property rollouts, our commercial team can advise on installation scheduling and training.
Commercial & Pricing Questions
How much does a commercial bed lift cost?
The Electric Bed Lift starts from $949 per unit. The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift starts from $499 per unit. Volume pricing is available for properties fitting multiple rooms. Our commercial team provides tailored quotes for portfolio rollouts — contact us with your room count and configuration for a quote within one business day.
What is the return on investment for a hotel property?
The business case for bed lifting systems is compelling. Housekeeping staff face a significantly higher risk of musculoskeletal injury than other hotel staff due to the repeated heavy lifting involved in bed-making. Workers’ compensation claims for back injuries can cost tens of thousands of dollars per incident. Several properties using Ezi-Maid systems have reported a 50% reduction in sick leave among housekeeping staff. Improved productivity — with proven time savings per bed — further strengthens the ROI case, particularly for high room-count properties.
Is volume pricing available?
Yes. Volume pricing is available for multi-room and multi-property orders. Contact our commercial team to discuss trade account pricing, installation scheduling, and dedicated account management for group procurement.
What warranty is included?
Ezi-Maid commercial bed lifting systems are built for long-term commercial use. Full warranty terms are provided at the time of purchase. For warranty queries on existing systems, contact our team via the enquiries page.
Safety & Compliance
How do bed lifting systems help with workplace health and safety compliance?
Bed lifting systems are one of the most effective engineering controls available for addressing musculoskeletal injury risk in housekeeping. By eliminating the deep bending and heavy lifting involved in making and cleaning under beds, they directly address the leading cause of injury in housekeeping departments. Ezi-Maid’s SafeWork NSW award recognition reflects this: the product was specifically designed to solve an identified workplace health and safety issue. Properties using bed lifting systems can demonstrate proactive duty-of-care obligations under applicable occupational health and safety legislation in Australia, the UK, North America, and internationally.
Is Ezi-Maid suitable for aged care facilities?
Yes. The Ezi-Pedal Spring Lift is particularly well-suited to aged care and healthcare environments because it requires no power and can be operated with minimal physical effort. It reduces musculoskeletal strain on carers performing bed changes, cleaning, and repositioning — a key concern under aged care quality standards and manual handling obligations.
