In
Detail: The Height Adjustment. One
of the most important innovations with Völker hospital beds is the so-called
telescopic jack. It is used with the Völker hospital bed in a way that
two lifting jack columns each at the head and foot end hold a cross-member
which again bears the frame of the lying surface. With it, the lifting
jack columns are maintenance-free and integrated into sleeves. Along with
the mentioned upper cross-member, into which the entire lifting and drive
mechanics of the bed is encapsulated waterproof, and one lower cross-member,
these four lifting jack columns produce an extremely torsion-stiff undercarriage
which on top of that is light weight as a result of using an aluminium
design. The lifting jack columns used with Völker hospital beds are manufactured in a three-stage spindle telescopic height adjustment design, with the height itself of course being able to be infinitely adjusted between 39.5 cm and 80 cm. Together with the mattress, this results in a maximum working height of 90 to 95 cm. By the way, from the lowest position of the bed, it only takes 25 seconds to raise it to maximum height. Also at the highest position, the frame of the lying surface is always kept sturdy - both horizontally and laterally, even with varying loads which steadily occur while caring for patients lying in bed. With Völker hospital beds, this is further supported by means of a synchronisation control which corrects the slightest directional deviations and returns the lying surface to a true horizontal position. Four large casters which have a wide bearing surface and are individually fixed on a central brake contribute to the entire stability of care processes. |
