Hydraulic Shower Trolley with Adjustable Height and Side Rails

Lightweight, dependable, and adjustable shower trolley for safe and efficient patient showering

Managing personal care for individuals with significant mobility limitations presents many challenges, particularly when it comes to safe and dignified showering. The process often involves difficult transfers and awkward positioning, creating stress for both the user and the carer. Ensuring safety, comfort, and hygiene in a wet environment requires equipment that is not only robust but also easy for support staff to operate.

The Hydraulic Shower Trolley is designed to address these daily difficulties. Built from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium, it is straightforward for a carer to manoeuvre, while its large, stable wheelbase ensures stability during transport and use. Height adjustment is handled smoothly by a dependable hydraulic pump, allowing the trolley to be perfectly aligned with a bed for a seamless transfer. The side rails can be set to three positions—closed for security, wide for more space, or fully open for unrestricted access. With features focused on practicality, like an inclination adjustment for water drainage and antibacterial surfaces for infection control, this trolley helps create a safer and more comfortable showering experience.

Why choose this shower trolley?

• Effortless Height Adjustment: An ergonomic and reliable hydraulic pump allows carers to adjust the trolley height from 45cm to 95cm, reducing physical strain.
• Secure and Flexible Side Rails: Simple and safe controls allow the side rails to be adjusted to three positions (closed, wide, open) to ensure security during transport and easy access during transfers.
• Superior Manoeuvrability: The lightweight aluminium construction and large 150mm diameter wheels make the trolley easy to handle and move between rooms.
• Designed for Hygiene: Features an antibacterial coating on the frame and mattress, plus a streamlined finish for optimal cleaning and infection control.
• Improved Water Drainage: The lying surface has an inclination adjustment, helping to drain water away efficiently during showering.

How the Hydraulic Shower Trolley is used day to day

• Adjusting the trolley height to match the user's bed for a safe, level transfer.
• Lowering the side rails to the 'open' position to help a user slide across onto the comfortable mattress.
• Securing the side rails into the 'closed' position before moving the user to the shower area.
• Using the smooth-rolling wheels to navigate hallways and doorways with minimal effort.
• Tilting the lying surface during showering to promote water run-off and prevent pooling.
• Wiping down the frame and mattress after use, aided by the trolley's easy-to-clean surfaces.
