Patient Transfer Equipment

Patient Transport Trolley for Rehabilitation and Assisted Care Environments

Patients recovering from illness, surgery or reduced mobility may still require assistance when moving between a care bed, rehabilitation area and treatment space. In these situations, a transport trolley needs to do more than simply move from one room to another. It should also adapt to different working heights, provide appropriate patient positioning and allow caregivers to access the patient conveniently during transfer.

The JH-OCT102 height adjustable patient transport trolley combines a 510–850 mm adjustable patient platform, 0–70° gas-spring assisted backrest, horizontally folding side rails, 150 mm twin-wheel medical casters and a central braking system.

This configuration makes the trolley suitable for rehabilitation centers, professional care facilities and other assisted-care environments where patients need supported movement between different areas of the facility.

Adaptable Height for Bed-to-Stretcher Transfer

510–850 mm Adjustable Patient Platform

The patient platform can be adjusted from approximately 510 mm to 850 mm. This allows caregivers to change the trolley height according to the surrounding care equipment and the transfer procedure being performed.

When the trolley is positioned beside a nursing bed or other patient support surface, adjustable height provides additional flexibility compared with a fixed-height transport trolley.

Useful across Different Care Areas

A patient may move between sleeping, treatment and rehabilitation environments during the same period of care. These areas do not always use equipment with identical working heights.

The adjustable platform allows the trolley to adapt more easily as the patient moves through different stages of the care workflow.

0–70° Backrest Adjustment Supports Different Patient Positions

Gas-Spring Assisted Positioning

The backrest can be adjusted from a flat 0° position to approximately 70°. A gas-spring mechanism assists the movement of the back section, allowing caregivers to change the patient's upper-body position without an electric backrest actuator.

This provides flexibility when a patient needs to remain flat during transportation or requires a more upright resting position before or after transfer.

More than a Flat Transport Platform

Rehabilitation and assisted-care patients may remain on the trolley temporarily while waiting for treatment, examination or another care procedure. The adjustable backrest allows the patient's position to be changed without immediately moving to another piece of equipment.

Open Side Access Simplifies Assisted Patient Handling

Horizontally Folding Side Rails

The trolley is equipped with protective side rails for lateral patient support during transportation. When caregivers need closer access, the rails can be lowered horizontally to open the side of the patient platform.

This design is particularly practical during assisted transfer because caregivers can approach the patient more directly instead of working around a permanently raised barrier.

Safety Locking Mechanism

The side rail system incorporates a safety locking mechanism to secure the rails in their working position during patient transportation.

This allows the trolley to alternate between a protected transport configuration and an open-access configuration according to the care procedure.

Central Braking System for Easier Positioning

Foot-Operated Control for Frequent Movement

The JH-OCT102 uses a central braking system with foot-operated controls. After the trolley reaches the required position, caregivers can operate the braking system before beginning patient transfer or other care procedures.

For facilities where the trolley is moved repeatedly between different care areas, central brake operation provides a more convenient alternative to individually controlling separate caster brakes.

150 mm Twin-Wheel Casters for Indoor Mobility

Designed for Corridors and Professional Care Areas

Four 150 mm twin-wheel resin casters provide mobility for routine indoor patient transportation. The wheel configuration allows the trolley to move through corridors and between different areas of a professional care facility.

The relatively compact overall width of approximately 663 mm can also be an important consideration when buyers evaluate patient transport equipment for facilities where maneuvering space is limited.

Mobility and Braking Work as One System

The caster configuration and central braking system work together throughout the transfer process: the casters support movement when the trolley is mobile, while the braking system allows the equipment to be secured after reaching the required location.

Molded PP Platform for Routine Care Use

Smooth Patient Support and Protective Components

The patient platform and protective components use molded PP construction. The smooth molded surfaces provide a practical configuration for routine cleaning and everyday operation in professional care environments.

The molded components also contribute to a clean medical appearance suitable for rehabilitation and patient-care facilities.

Integrated IV Pole Supports Ongoing Care during Movement

An IV pole is included with the trolley for patients who require infusion support during transportation or temporary positioning.

This allows the infusion support point to move together with the patient when required rather than depending entirely on a separate mobile IV stand.

How Can the Trolley Fit into a Rehabilitation Care Workflow?

From the Patient Bed to the Transfer Trolley

When a patient needs assistance leaving the care bed, the trolley can be positioned nearby and its height adjusted according to the transfer situation. The side rail can then be lowered to create closer lateral access for caregivers.

During Transportation

After the patient has been positioned on the trolley, the side protection can be returned to its working position. The 150 mm twin-wheel casters support movement through the facility to the required treatment or rehabilitation area.

At the Destination

Once the trolley reaches the required location, the central braking system can be engaged. Caregivers can then adjust the backrest or platform height according to the next stage of the patient's care.

This combination of transfer access, mobility, braking and positioning allows one trolley to support several stages of the patient movement process.

Choosing Transfer Equipment for Professional Care Facilities

Consider the Entire Route, Not Only the Patient Platform

When selecting patient transfer equipment, buyers should consider where the trolley will actually travel. Corridor width, doorways, turning areas and the height of other patient-care equipment can all affect everyday usability.

The JH-OCT102 has an overall size of approximately 1925 × 663 mm and a height range of 510–850 mm. These dimensions should be evaluated against the intended facility layout before procurement.

Patient Mobility Level Should Determine the Transfer Solution

A transport stretcher is most relevant when a patient requires a full-length support surface during movement. Patients who can transfer independently or remain securely seated may require different types of transfer equipment.

For patients who need greater physical assistance, the adjustable platform, folding side access and backrest positioning provide additional flexibility throughout the transfer process.

For Rehabilitation Centers and Professional Assisted-Care Facilities

The JH-OCT102 is suitable for professional rehabilitation centers, assisted-care facilities and other healthcare environments where mobility-limited patients need supported transportation between different care areas.

Its combination of adjustable platform height, gas-spring backrest positioning, folding side access, central braking and twin-wheel casters allows the trolley to support more than simple point-to-point transportation.
