Hydraulic Patient Transfer Stretcher for Advanced Hospital Transportation

Moving patients safely between hospital departments requires more than a basic mobile trolley. A professional transfer stretcher needs stable height adjustment, reliable braking, controlled maneuverability and flexible patient positioning while giving caregivers convenient access throughout the transfer process.

The JH-PC101 hydraulic patient transfer stretcher is designed for demanding intra-hospital transportation. It combines a 630–930 mm hydraulic height adjustment system, 320 kg safe working load, 0–85° adjustable backrest, 0–40° knee section adjustment, 0–18° tilt adjustment, central braking system and a retractable fifth wheel for directional control.

An X-ray translucent HPL patient platform, stainless steel folding side rails, 200 mm medical casters, integrated oxygen cylinder tray and IV pole further expand its suitability for professional hospital transfer applications.

Dual Hydraulic Height Adjustment from 630 to 930 mm

Stable Height Positioning for Patient Transfer

The JH-PC101 uses a dual hydraulic cylinder system to adjust the patient platform between 630 mm and 930 mm.

This height range allows caregivers to adapt the stretcher to different patient transfer situations and clinical working heights rather than relying on a fixed transport platform.

Designed for Different Stages of Patient Handling

During intra-hospital transportation, the stretcher may need to work alongside hospital beds and other patient support equipment. Adjustable height provides greater flexibility when preparing for patient transfer, positioning or temporary clinical care.

320 kg Safe Working Load for Demanding Clinical Use

High-Capacity Patient Support

The stretcher is designed with a safe working load of 320 kg, providing a robust patient support platform for professional healthcare environments.

For hospitals and medical equipment buyers, safe working load is an important specification when comparing patient transfer equipment, particularly when the stretcher is intended for frequent use across different departments.

Multi-Position Adjustment for Different Patient Care Needs

0–85° Gas-Spring Assisted Backrest

The backrest can be adjusted from 0° to approximately 85°. A gas-spring assisted mechanism supports the back section during adjustment, allowing caregivers to reposition the patient's upper body without an electric actuator.

0–40° Knee Section Adjustment

The knee section provides an adjustment range of approximately 0–40°, adding further positioning flexibility when the patient remains on the stretcher before, during or after transportation.

0–18° Tilt Adjustment

The stretcher also provides an overall tilt adjustment range of approximately 0–18°, allowing the patient platform angle to be changed according to different positioning requirements.

Together with hydraulic height adjustment, these functions make the JH-PC101 more versatile than a basic flat patient transport trolley.

X-Ray Translucent HPL Patient Platform

Designed to Support Clinical Imaging Workflows

The patient platform is manufactured from high-strength HPL material and measures approximately 1926 × 620 × 6 mm.

The platform is X-ray translucent, allowing X-ray imaging through the support surface when required. This provides additional flexibility in clinical environments where imaging access forms part of the patient care process.

High-Strength Platform Construction

The HPL platform is designed to provide a strong and dimensionally stable patient support surface while maintaining X-ray translucency.

Retractable Central Fifth Wheel for Directional Control

Improved Tracking during Corridor Transportation

A retractable central fifth wheel is integrated into the stretcher chassis. Control pedals are provided on both sides for convenient caregiver operation.

When the fifth wheel is engaged, it helps the stretcher maintain a more controlled forward direction during transportation. This is particularly useful when moving patients along longer hospital corridors.

Retract the Fifth Wheel for Free Maneuvering

When tighter maneuvering or repositioning is required, the center wheel can be retracted so the stretcher can return to free caster movement.

This allows caregivers to switch between directional tracking and more flexible maneuverability according to the transport environment.

200 mm Medical Casters with Central Braking System

One-Step Control of All Four Casters

The stretcher is equipped with four 200 mm central-locking medical casters. A central braking system allows the four wheels to be secured together through the foot-operated control system.

This simplifies the transition between transportation and stationary patient care without requiring caregivers to lock each caster individually.

Reinforced Central Brake Linkage

The central braking linkage uses an integrated round-tube structure designed to provide greater structural strength for repeated operation.

Four-Corner Bumper Wheels for Hospital Transport

Protective bumper wheels measuring approximately 70 × 80 mm are positioned around the four corners of the stretcher.

These components provide additional protection around the stretcher perimeter during routine movement through hospital corridors, doorways and other clinical areas where contact with surrounding equipment or structures may occur.

Stainless Steel Folding Side Rails with Safety Locks

Patient Protection during Transportation

The JH-PC101 is equipped with stainless steel folding side rails measuring approximately 1240 mm in length. When raised, the rails extend approximately 430 mm above the patient platform.

The locking components use reinforced zinc die-cast construction to provide a strong and secure locking structure during patient transportation.

Fold the Rails for Closer Patient Access

When caregivers need closer lateral access for patient transfer or clinical procedures, the side rails can be folded down. This allows the stretcher to combine patient protection during movement with convenient access when stationary.

Integrated Oxygen Cylinder Storage Tray

Keep Oxygen Support Equipment with the Stretcher

An integrated storage tray is located beneath the patient platform and can be used to carry an oxygen cylinder during transportation.

The lower tray has a specified load capacity of up to 20 kg, allowing oxygen support equipment to remain with the patient during movement between hospital departments.

IV Pole and Integrated Storage System

The standard configuration includes one IV pole and four standard IV pole sockets, allowing the pole position to be selected according to the clinical situation.

An integrated IV pole storage holder is also provided, giving caregivers a dedicated location to secure the pole when it is not in use.

Water-Resistant Mattress with Removable Washable Cover

The stretcher includes a 1840 × 600 × 80 mm mattress. The outer surface is treated for water resistance and incorporates a zippered construction.

The external mattress cover can be removed for washing, providing a practical solution for routine cleaning between patient uses.

Designed around the Complete Intra-Hospital Transfer Process

Before Patient Transfer

Caregivers can position the stretcher beside the patient support surface, operate the central brake and adjust the hydraulic platform height according to the transfer situation. The folding side rail can then be lowered to provide closer lateral access.

During Transportation

Once the patient is positioned correctly, the side rails can be returned to their protective position. The 200 mm casters support hospital mobility, while the central fifth wheel can be engaged when greater directional control is required.

At the Destination

The central braking system can secure the stretcher after arrival. Caregivers can then adjust the backrest, knee section, platform height or tilt according to the next stage of patient care.

This combination of positioning, mobility and clinical support features allows the JH-PC101 to function as more than a simple point-to-point transport trolley.
