Servicing hospital beds without risks

Heavy lifting and poor working postures

Prior the service workers had to get the hospital beds onto a table whenever they needed servicing. When the four wheels needed mending, they drove the bed to the edge of the table and let the damaged wheel fall over the edge to repair it. This was both difficult and risky because the hospital bed could tip down off the table and land on the employee. In addition, the posture was both awkward and ergonomically inappropriate.

Therefore, the service department needed a better solution to be able to service the hospital beds with easy access to work in the optimal height and service the wheels safely.

Ultra-low lift table with smart features

The solution was a superlow lifting table with a ramp to easily push the hospital beds onto the lifting table and heave them up with a push at a button. Small rims were added to the lifting table to make sure that the beds did not slide off the table when being serviced.

Built-in jacks at both ends of the lifting table made it possible to service the wheels on the bed, no matter how the bed turned on the lifting table. There was a special lift arm that lifted the hospital beds to the exact height to release the wheels. The lifting arm could be moved from one end of the table to the other depending on where it was needed. In addition, the hospital could use the jacks to fix other lifting devices of their choice.

Time savings and safety in one solution

The lifting table has made it uncomplicated to service the hospital beds and especially the work on the wheels has become painless and safe. The solution saves both time and increases efficiency.
