High-Quality Bed Trapeze Solutions for Every Need

Whether you are recovering from surgery or managing long-term mobility challenges, these poles offer a reliable "third hand" for sitting up and adjusting your position.
Key Features of Our Overhead Poles
- Adjustable Strap Height: Customise the handle position to suit your arm reach and bed height.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Durable frames designed to support various weight capacities with total stability.
- Ergonomic Triangle Grip: Easy-to-hold handle shape that reduces strain on the wrist and hand.
- Tool-Free Assembly: Quick and simple setup so you can focus on comfort and recovery.
Free-Standing vs. Bed-Attached Poles
For those with specialised hospital beds, a bolt-on pole offers a compact, permanent solution. If you use a standard ensemble or timber bed frame, our free-standing base units slide securely underneath the bed to provide maximum leverage without altering your furniture.
Improving Safety for Users and Carers
Using a specialised bed pole significantly reduces the physical strain on carers by allowing the user to bear their own weight during repositioning. This creates a safer environment for everyone and helps prevent common lifting injuries in the home.
Choosing the Right Patient Lifter
When selecting your pole, consider the floor clearance of your bed and the user’s weight. Our heavy-duty models are powder-coated for easy cleaning and long-term durability in both home and clinical environments.
