The lightweight frame makes delivery, maneuvering, and assembly significantly easier for caregivers and equipment providers—even in tight spaces.
The 42” model ships in just two boxes with all components, including rails, simplifying transport and setup.
Designed so the lightweight frame can be assembled by a single person without tools, reducing setup time and labor.
Equipped with a dual-motor configuration for independent adjustment of the head section and bed frame height.
Features a square-tube steel slat deck that offers excellent durability, snag-free mattress support, and easy cleaning.
Wood-grain bed ends include integrated hi/lo motors for smooth height adjustment and long-lasting appearance.
UL-approved motor system runs quietly, reduces total bed weight, and can be installed or removed even while the patient remains in bed.
Meets IEC 60601-2-52, 60601-1, 60601-1-2, and 60601-1-11 performance and safety standards for modern clinical environments.
