Hi anyone out there use the RRB bed lifter/ turner fot the maintenance of hospital beds?

The RRB bed turner is made in Holland.

We are looking to purchase one, but our Health & Safety believes there are issues around the turner having no entrapment guards fitted.

Anyone help or what do you use to maintain beds or to get them up from floor level?

Rob,
We once had an earlier related problem with an electrical daychair. Refer to your policy, and related H&S safety, Trading certification, and relevant Electrical indications contained on the unit and supplied user guide.

And if all else fails, and you deem the unit unsafe, look elswhere for a more pragmatic approach.
