Best Casting Chairs
A casting chair earns its keep the moment your plaster room gets busy. The HealthTec Pinnacle gives staff a 90-degree seat swivel, electric height adjustment, and castors that lock solid the instant you need the chair still.

Where Casting Chairs Are Used
A casting chair is standard equipment in any plaster room, fracture clinic or orthopaedic outpatient department that applies, adjusts or removes casts. Hospitals, day-procedure units and private orthopaedic practices all rely on the same setup: a stable, adjustable chair that gets the patient's limb into the right position and keeps the clinician working comfortably through a full clinic list.
The Pinnacle base behind this casting chair is shared with HealthTec's phlebotomy chair and podiatry chair ranges, so clinics running more than one treatment type can standardise on the same column, castors and controls across rooms.
HealthTec Pinnacle Casting Chair Features
The Pinnacle Casting Chair is designed and manufactured in Australia on the same heavy-duty single column used across HealthTec's clinical range. It carries a 300kg stationary working load and a 250kg lifting capacity while moving, comfortable for most adult and bariatric casting work.
90-Degree Manual Seat Swivel
A 90-degree manual seat swivel turns the patient side-on for clear access to arms and legs during casting, without repositioning the whole chair. Pair it with the electric backrest, which adjusts through 85 degrees on a hand switch, to set up each patient once and hold the position through the procedure.
Lockable Castors and Electric Height Adjustment
Individually lockable castors let staff wheel the chair between plaster rooms and lock it solid the moment it is in position. Electric height adjustment runs from 550mm to 970mm, so the chair suits standing and seated clinicians without extra platforms or step stools.
Built for Daily Clinical Use
The frame is powder coated and rust resistant, upholstered in anti-microbial vinyl over CFC-free foam, and backed by a 10 year structural warranty on the base and frame, 5 years on the electrics and 3 years on the upholstery. Colour options let the chair match an existing fit-out.
Once a cast is on, many clinics also send patients home with protective cast shoes or post-op boots to keep the cast dry and protected during recovery.
What is a casting chair used for?
A casting chair supports the patient and clinician while plaster or fibreglass casts are applied, adjusted or removed. It replaces a standard chair or table in plaster rooms, fracture clinics and orthopaedic outpatient departments.
Why does a casting chair need a swivel seat?
The 90-degree manual seat swivel turns the patient side-on for clear access to arms and legs during casting, without repositioning the whole chair.
Can a casting chair be moved between rooms?
Yes. The Pinnacle Casting Chair runs on individually lockable castors, so staff can wheel it between rooms and lock it solid the moment it is in position.
What weight capacity does the Pinnacle Casting Chair handle?
It carries a 300kg stationary working load and a 250kg lifting capacity while moving, enough for most adult and bariatric casting procedures.
