Patient Transfer Equipment

Operating Room Patient Transfer Stretcher with Dual-Trolley Docking System

Moving a patient between different hospital areas can involve more than simply pushing a stretcher from one room to another. In operating room transfer workflows, the patient may need to pass between separate transport zones while remaining supported on the same patient platform.

The JH-OCT105 operating room patient transfer stretcher uses a dual-trolley docking structure with a sliding patient platform. The two trolley units can be adjusted to the same height and aligned at the transfer point, allowing the patient platform to slide from one trolley to the other along the docking track.

Once the sliding platform reaches the receiving trolley, an automatic locking system secures it in position. A secondary safety mechanism provides additional securing before the two trolley units are separated.

How the Dual-Trolley Patient Transfer System Works

Step 1: Position the Two Trolley Units

The JH-OCT105 consists of two trolley units and a transferable patient platform. Each trolley can be positioned on its respective side of the transfer point.

Step 2: Adjust and Align the Trolley Height

Both trolley units can be height-adjusted. Before transferring the patient platform, the two units are adjusted to the same level to create an aligned transfer path.

The overall product specification is L3650 × W640 × H640–970 mm, with the height ranging from approximately 640 mm to 970 mm.

Step 3: Dock the Transfer System

The two units are brought into the required docking position so the transfer track can guide the patient platform between them.

Step 4: Slide the Patient Platform across the Track

Four quiet-running rollers are installed beneath the patient platform. These rollers support smooth movement as the platform travels along the docking track from one trolley unit to the other.

Step 5: Automatic Locking at the Receiving Trolley

When the patient platform reaches the receiving trolley, it automatically locks into position.

A secondary safety mechanism provides an additional securing function. The locking and safety components are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

Step 6: Separate the Trolley Units

After the patient platform has been correctly positioned and secured, the trolley units can be separated and the patient can continue to the next stage of the hospital transport workflow.

Sliding Patient Platform Reduces the Need for Repeated Repositioning

Move the Platform instead of Changing the Patient Support Surface

The central concept of the JH-OCT105 is that the patient platform itself can move between the two trolley units.

Rather than describing the product as two conventional stretchers, it is more accurately understood as a coordinated docking transfer system in which the mobile patient platform connects the two transport units.

This design supports controlled patient transfer while the patient remains on the transferable platform.

A380.2 High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Docking Track

Designed to Guide the Sliding Patient Platform

The docking track is manufactured from A380.2 high-strength die-cast aluminum alloy.

The track provides the guided path used by the sliding patient platform during transfer between the two trolley units.

Together with the four quiet-running rollers beneath the platform, the track is designed to provide stable and smooth platform movement during the docking procedure.

Automatic Platform Locking with Secondary Safety Mechanism

Secure the Platform after Transfer

A sliding platform must be securely retained after it reaches the receiving trolley. For this reason, the JH-OCT105 incorporates an automatic locking mechanism.

Once the patient platform reaches its operating position on either trolley unit, the locking system engages to secure the platform.

304 Stainless Steel Locking Components

The automatic locking components and secondary safety mechanism are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

This provides a clearly defined mechanical securing system between the movable patient platform and the receiving trolley.

Gas-Spring Assisted Backrest for Patient Positioning

The backrest of the patient platform uses a gas spring as its supporting mechanism.

This allows caregivers to adjust the upper section of the patient platform according to the required patient position.

The supplied technical documentation does not specify a numerical backrest adjustment angle, so the backrest is described according to its confirmed gas-spring assisted operating system.

Lift-Up ABS Side Rails for Patient Protection and Access

The patient platform is equipped with molded ABS engineering-plastic lift-up side rails.

When raised, the side rails provide lateral protection around the patient during transport.

When closer access is required during patient handling, the side rail can be lowered to provide greater access to the patient platform.

Central Braking on Both Trolley Units

Eight Ø150 mm Central-Control Casters

Both trolley units are equipped with central braking systems.

The complete system uses eight Ø150 mm central-control casters. The caster construction includes PA6 main frames and wheel cores together with TPU wear-resistant treads.

Precision ball bearings support wheel movement, while the caster design is specified for reduced noise and vibration during transport.

Secure Each Trolley before Docking and Transfer

Before transferring the patient platform, the trolley units can be positioned and secured using their central braking systems.

After the platform transfer has been completed and the two units are separated, the trolley can return to mobile operation for the next stage of patient transport.

Ø100 mm Directional Wheel for Controlled Movement

The JH-OCT105 is also equipped with a Ø100 mm directional wheel.

This directional wheel provides additional assistance when the trolley needs to maintain controlled forward movement during hospital transportation.

Molded ABS Patient Platform

The patient platform is manufactured from molded ABS engineering plastic.

Four quiet-running rollers are installed beneath the platform to allow it to travel along the docking track during the transfer procedure.

This movable platform is the central connection between the two trolley units and remains the patient's support surface throughout the docking transfer process.

Carbon Steel Trolley Frame with Powder-Coated Surface

The main trolley body is manufactured from welded carbon structural steel.

The steel frame undergoes surface preparation followed by electrostatic resin powder coating.

It is important to distinguish the two materials used in the product structure: the main trolley frame is carbon steel, while the docking track uses A380.2 high-strength aluminum alloy.

Two-Section 304 Stainless Steel IV Pole

The standard configuration includes a two-section adjustable IV pole manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

The IV pole has a specified diameter of Ø19 mm and can support infusion requirements while the patient remains on the transfer platform.

Designed around Controlled Operating Room Transfer Workflows

The JH-OCT105 is designed for hospital environments where patient transfer may need to take place at a defined handover point between different clinical areas.

Instead of moving the complete trolley through every stage of the route, the dual-trolley design allows the patient platform to transfer between two separate mobile bases.

This configuration can support hospital workflows that separate transport routes or controlled areas while reducing unnecessary movement of the complete trolley between different zones.

Why the Sliding Platform Matters during Patient Transfer

Patient Remains on the Transfer Platform

The patient platform moves between the two trolley units, allowing the patient to remain supported on the same platform during the docking transfer.

Both Trolleys Can Be Height-Aligned

The two trolley units can be adjusted to the same level before platform movement begins.

Dedicated Track Guides the Transfer

The A380.2 aluminum alloy track and four platform rollers provide a dedicated mechanical path for the sliding movement.

Automatic Locking Secures the Platform

Once the platform reaches the receiving trolley, the automatic locking mechanism secures it in position.

Secondary Safety Mechanism Adds Another Securing Step

A separate safety mechanism is incorporated into the docking structure, with both the locking and safety components manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
