Maternal & Newborn
1 Crank Bed
Manual single-crank hospital bed with adjustable backrest, side rails, and castors.
Overview
A one-crank hospital bed provides a single manual adjustment, raising and lowering the backrest so a patient can sit up to eat, be examined, or breathe more comfortably. Turning one hand crank at the foot of the bed drives the movement, so no electrical supply is needed and there is little to service. Drop-down side rails, an epoxy-coated or stainless steel frame, a removable head and foot board, and four castors with brakes complete the specification.
It is the economical general ward and maternity choice where full multi-position adjustment is not required.
Medix East Africa supplies the 1 crank bed with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.
After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.
