Who is Sunflower Medical?

Sunflower Medical is a UK based manufacturer of healthcare furniture, designing equipment for hospitals, GP surgeries, clinics and care environments. Based in Bradford, Sunflower Medical undertakes its design, manufacturing, assembly and distribution from one central site, enabling them to provide bespoke solutions to healthcare providers.

The Challenge

Sunflower Medical needed to improve the flow of goods between levels while reducing manual handling and workplace risks. Their existing process was time-consuming and placed unnecessary strain on staff when moving heavy furniture between levels.

They required a solution that could be installed with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
The Solution

Advanced Handling supplied and installed a 500kg Reach 50 goods lift, carefully specified to integrate seamlessly into the available space and operational workflow. The lift was designed to safely handle daily load requirements while delivering smooth, safe and reliable performance.

The platform size was aligned with the range of equipment being moved – including crates, chairs, and furniture, ensuring smooth loading and unloading.
The Benefits

Since installation, Sunflower Medical has achieved faster and more efficient goods movement between floors while significantly reducing manual handling risks. The Reach 50 goods lift provides a consistent and reliable solution, reducing delays in the production workflow and helping operations run smoothly throughout the day.

Staff time is now used more productively, and workplace safety has improved. The lift has now become an integral part of Sunflower Medical’s daily operation, providing a reliable, easy to use solution that supports both current production demands and future growth.
