Specifications

What Is a Single Crank Manual Hospital Bed?

A single-crank manual hospital bed uses a hand crank to raise or lower the backrest.

This model allows the patient to move from a flat position to a sitting position without using electricity.

The bed does not adjust its overall height or the knee section. This makes it a practical option for facilities that need basic patient positioning.

If you need to adjust the knee section, consider a 2-crank hospital bed. 

If you also need height adjustment, a 3-crank hospital bed may be more suitable.

Who Can Use This Single Crank Manual Hospital Bed?

This bed may be suitable for:

• Families caring for patients at home.
• Private clinics and diagnostic centres.
• Hospitals and health centres.
• Nursing homes and elderly-care facilities.
• Rehabilitation and recovery units.
• Healthcare facilities where electricity is limited or unreliable.

Choose a bed based on the patient’s needs, weight, mobility, and the level of care required.

How to Adjust the Single Crank Manual Hospital Bed

1. Check that the bed is stable and the castor brakes are applied.
2. Locate the hand crank at the appropriate end of the bed.
3. Turn the crank slowly to raise the backrest.
4. Turn the crank in the opposite direction to lower the backrest.
5. Return the handle to its resting position after adjustment.
6. Check that the patient is comfortable and properly positioned.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and seek help from a trained caregiver when necessary.

Hospital Bed Safety: Side Rails and Brakes

Side rails can help reduce the risk of a patient rolling out of bed. However, they can also create entrapment risks for some patients, especially those who are confused, restless, or have limited muscle control.

Before using the rails, ask a doctor or nurse whether they are appropriate for the patient. 

Check that the mattress fits correctly and that there are no dangerous gaps between the mattress, rails, and bed frame.

Side rails do not replace supervision.

Always apply the castor brakes before a patient gets into or out of bed. 

How to Choose the Right Single Crank Manual Hospital Bed

1. Check the patient’s weight and condition. Patients who need a lot of bed rest may need a Ripple Mattress on top of the single crank hospital bed mattress.
2. Measure your space. Check the room, doorway, and access route before ordering.
3. Confirm the mattress size. Ensure the mattress fits the bed properly without leaving gaps around the sides.
4. Check the accessories. Confirm that the mattress, side rails, IV pole, drainage bag hooks, and crank handle are included.
5. Consider the level of care needed. Patients who require frequent height or leg-position adjustments may benefit from a 2-crank or 3-crank bed.

Cleaning and Maintenance of the single crank manual hospital bed

• Wipe the frame, headboard, footboard, and mattress with a damp cloth and a suitable cleaning product.
• Use a hospital-approved cleaner where required, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Inspect the crank mechanism, side rails, and castors regularly.
• Stop using the bed if any component is loose, damaged, or not working correctly.
• Lubricate the crank mechanism only as instructed by the manufacturer.
• Keep the bed on a stable, level surface.
