In order to meet these requirements, hospital beds must be equipped with appropriate castors. This also helps the staff: Poor bed castors can pose a health risk, whereas good castors improve working conditions.
Requirements for hospital bed castors
A good mobility solution for hospital beds offers quiet and comfortable running, is robust, leaves no marks and can be locked in place and set in motion again quickly and easily. Ideally suited for this are swivel castors with total locking. These can be moved in all directions and securely locked immediately, if necessary.
In addition, strict hygiene regulations must be met - which is particularly important in medical facilities. Sealed precision ball bearings make it possible to clean the castors without any problems, and the use of high-quality materials makes the castors resistant to many detergents and disinfectants.
