4.5.4 Patient lifting pole*
The two corners of the mattress base frame at the head end E of the bed are each
fitted with a round sleeve A with a recess C at the top. These sleeves are the location
sleeves for the patient lifting pole. The patient lifting pole should be fitted on the side of
bed on which the resident will be getting in and out. It will help the patient or resident to
get in and out of bed.
The maximum loading capacity at the front end of the patient lifting pole is 75 kg.
• Do not swing the patient lifting pole out beyond the boundaries of the
mattress base or apply a load to it there. Otherwise the bed may tip up. It is
essential that you pay attention to this when mobilising the resident or
helping him/her into bed.
• The patient lifting pole is not suitable for rehabilitation exercises.
• Pay attention to door clearances when moving beds with inserted patient
lifting poles.
To insert the pole
Insert the long, straight end of the patient
lifting pole D into one of the two adapter
sleeves. The metal pin B on the patient
lifting pole must be located in the notch of
the adapter sleeve. This restricts the
slewing range of the patient lifting pole
(see illustration below).
The patient lifting pole is now facing the
centre of the bed and can swing to the
side as far as the restriction allows.
To remove the pole
Pull the patient lifting pole up and out of
the adapter sleeve.
Slewing range of patient lifting pole
If the patient lifting pole swings outside
the bed area and a weight is applied to it
there, there is a danger that the bed will
tip up due to the weight. Therefore, the
metal pin on the patient lifting pole must
always sit in the notch in the adapter
sleeve!
