Safer hospital beds

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

ePowerTrucks’ EP Electric Bed Transporter system is designed to prevent work-related injury and make life easier for hospital porters and nursing staff whilst moving beds.

The manoeuvrable, power-assisted, transporter greatly reduces the effort required in manual handling, diminishing the risk of musculoskeletal and repetitive strain injuries caused by lifting heavy equipment.

The system is compatible with almost all beds, specialty beds, stretchers, trolleys and other movable equipment worldwide, without the need to change attachments.

It also allows a single person to drive equipment weighing up to 600kg with just one finger or thumb, without any strain on their back muscles, thanks to its 360º movement.

Hospital staff pushing beds, stretchers and equipment walk on average 15-20km a day, while the increase in the total weight of many beds and patients makes the EP Electric Bed Transporter even more useful.
