Electric Shower Trolley Designed for Safer Patient Bathing
Bathing a patient with severely limited mobility can be one of the most demanding routine tasks for hospital and institutional caregivers. Transferring the patient repeatedly between a hospital bed, wheelchair and conventional bathroom equipment can increase handling difficulty and make hygiene care more complicated.
This stainless steel electric shower trolley is designed to provide a dedicated platform for assisted bathing, washing and personal hygiene care. It combines electric height adjustment, electric tilting, a waterproof padded bathing surface, extended folding side rails and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel structure in one mobile patient-care solution.
With an overall size of 2150 × 870 mm and a rated load capacity of 240 kg, the trolley is suitable for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing facilities and other professional environments caring for bedridden or mobility-limited patients.
Electric Adjustment Improves the Caregiver Working Position
430–660 mm Electric Height Adjustment
The bathing platform can be electrically adjusted from 430 to 660 mm, allowing caregivers to select a more appropriate working height according to different bathing, cleaning and patient-handling procedures.
This is particularly valuable when hygiene care involves repeated access to different areas of the patient's body. Instead of requiring caregivers to work continuously at one fixed height, the platform can be repositioned according to the procedure being performed.
Useful for Patient Transfer and Daily Hygiene Procedures
The lower position can provide more convenient access during certain patient-transfer procedures, while raising the platform provides a more accessible working position for bathing, drying, dressing and other hygiene-related tasks.
Independent Electric Tilting Function
A second electric actuator controls the tilting function of the trolley, providing additional positioning flexibility during assisted bathing and patient hygiene procedures.
The two-motor configuration separates the electric height adjustment and tilting functions, allowing the caregiver to select the required position through powered adjustment rather than relying on manual mechanical operation.
Full Stainless Steel Structure for Wet-Care Environments
30 × 60 × 1.1 mm Stainless Steel Main Frame
Equipment used for patient bathing is repeatedly exposed to water and frequent cleaning. For this reason, the trolley uses a stainless steel structure designed specifically for professional wet-care applications.
The main frame is manufactured from 30 × 60 × 1.1 mm stainless steel rectangular tubing. The welded rectangular construction provides a stable supporting structure while offering the corrosion resistance required for repeated use in bathing and hygiene environments.
Stainless Steel Platform and Reinforced Connecting Components
The platform also incorporates stainless steel construction, while 25 × 38 mm stainless steel components are used within the articulated connecting structure. This creates a durable mechanical foundation for repeated adjustment and institutional operation.
Reinforced Double-V Support Structure
A reinforced double-V support arrangement is incorporated into the moving platform structure. Instead of concentrating mechanical force at a single point, the support design helps distribute loads more evenly through the adjustment mechanism.
This structural approach improves stability during operation while reducing concentrated stress on moving components, an important consideration for healthcare facilities where patient-care equipment may be operated repeatedly every day.
Waterproof Padded Surface for Assisted Bathing
Soft Patient Contact Area with High-Density EVA Padding
Unlike a conventional hospital bed mattress, the bathing surface is specifically designed for use during washing and hygiene care. It uses a high-toughness waterproof outer material combined with high-density EVA padding.
The padded construction provides a softer patient contact surface while maintaining the water-resistant properties required during bathing procedures.
Removable for Cleaning and Disinfection
The bathing surface can be removed for routine cleaning and disinfection. This is particularly important for hospitals and institutional care facilities where bathing equipment may be used by different patients and needs to be incorporated into established hygiene procedures.
Extended Folding Side Rails Improve Patient Protection
Stainless Steel Side Protection on Both Sides
Patients requiring assisted bathing may have limited balance, reduced mobility or difficulty repositioning themselves independently. To provide additional protection during care, both sides of the trolley are equipped with extended stainless steel folding side rails.
The side rails are designed to withstand vertical pulling or pushing loads of up to 100 kg and incorporate locking mechanisms to maintain a secure raised position during use.
180° Rotation after Lowering
When caregivers need greater access for patient transfer or hygiene procedures, the rails can be released and lowered. Once lowered, the rail structure can rotate through up to 180°, opening the side of the trolley and reducing obstruction during patient handling.
This combination of extended protection and folding access allows the trolley to adapt between bathing, nursing and transfer procedures without requiring permanent fixed barriers around the patient.
Smooth Mobility between Patient and Bathing Areas
5-Inch Quiet Swivel Casters
The trolley is equipped with four 5-inch swivel casters to support maneuverability within hospitals and care facilities. The caster structure allows caregivers to reposition the trolley and move it between designated care areas when required.
The wheels use wear-resistant materials and incorporate self-lubricating bearings to support smoother, quieter operation during routine institutional use.
Individual Caster Brakes
Each caster is equipped with an independent braking mechanism. After the trolley has been moved into the required position, the wheels can be individually secured before bathing or other patient-care procedures begin.
240 kg Load Capacity for Professional Patient Care
The reinforced stainless steel construction provides a rated bed load capacity of 240 kg, making the trolley suitable for a broad range of adult patient-care applications.
For procurement teams, load capacity should be considered together with structural stability, side protection, adjustment mechanisms and mobility. This model combines these requirements within a dedicated patient bathing platform rather than adapting a conventional medical bed for wet-care use.
More Than a Mobile Bathing Platform
A professional patient shower trolley should solve more than the problem of providing a waterproof surface. Its real value lies in how it supports the complete assisted-bathing workflow.
For the Patient
The waterproof padded surface provides a dedicated bathing area, while extended side rails add protection for patients who cannot safely maintain their position without assistance.
For the Caregiver
Electric height adjustment provides greater flexibility when selecting a working position. Folding side rails create easier lateral access, while powered tilting allows the bathing platform to be repositioned according to different care procedures.
For the Healthcare Facility
Stainless steel construction, removable bathing materials and mobile caster design make the trolley better suited to repeated institutional hygiene routines and wet-care environments.
Suitable for Hospitals and Institutional Care Facilities
This electric shower trolley can be used for patients who require substantial assistance with bathing and personal hygiene, including bedridden patients, elderly patients, rehabilitation patients and individuals with severely limited mobility.
Typical applications include general hospitals, rehabilitation centers, elderly care facilities, long-term care institutions and other professional healthcare environments where assisted bathing forms part of routine patient care.
A Practical Addition to Professional Patient-Care Equipment
For hospital projects and medical equipment distributors, the shower trolley can complement conventional patient beds by providing a dedicated solution for hygiene procedures that standard beds are not designed to perform.
