Manual Medical Transport Trolley for Hospital Projects and Daily Patient Transfer

Hospital transport equipment should be evaluated as a complete system rather than by one adjustment function alone. Frame construction, load capacity, braking, steering, patient access and supporting accessories all affect how the equipment performs during routine intra-hospital transportation.

The JH-OCT103 medical transport trolley combines a 300 kg maximum load capacity with 560–860 mm manual height adjustment, a reinforced carbon steel frame, gas-spring assisted backrest, central braking and an independent fifth-wheel steering system.

ABS lift-up side rails, four 150 mm central-control casters, an oxygen cylinder holder, telescopic stainless steel IV pole and two patient safety straps provide additional functions for professional hospital use.

300 kg Maximum Load Capacity for Hospital Procurement

A Defined Load Specification for Project Evaluation

The JH-OCT103 has a specified maximum load capacity of 300 kg.

For hospitals, distributors and medical equipment project suppliers, load capacity should be reviewed together with the frame construction, stretcher dimensions and intended patient population.

This model combines its 300 kg maximum load specification with a welded steel chassis and mechanically adjustable patient platform for routine hospital transportation.

Reinforced Carbon Steel Frame Construction

50 × 30 × 2 mm Main Longitudinal Frame Members

The stretcher frame is manufactured from welded carbon steel. The main longitudinal members use 50 × 30 × 2 mm rectangular hollow steel sections.

This forms the primary structural foundation beneath the patient platform and mechanical lifting system.

2.5 mm Cold-Rolled Steel Triangular Supports

The triangular support components are formed from 2.5 mm cold-rolled steel plate.

These structural components support the lifting assembly and connect the upper patient platform with the lower transport chassis.

Electrostatic Powder-Coated Surface

The steel structure is finished with electrostatic powder coating following surface preparation.

For procurement teams comparing stretcher construction, specifying the frame material, section dimensions and surface treatment provides more useful information than a general description such as “strong metal frame.”

560–860 mm Manual Crank Height Adjustment

Mechanical Adjustment without an Electric Lift System

The overall patient platform height can be adjusted from approximately 560 mm to 860 mm using a manual crank mechanism.

A foldable stainless steel crank controls the lifting system. Rotation in one direction raises the platform, while reverse rotation lowers it.

Bidirectional Protection and Automatic Lubrication

According to the product configuration, the crank mechanism incorporates bidirectional interference protection and an automatic lubrication function.

The manual design provides adjustable working height without requiring an electric actuator or hydraulic lifting cylinder.

Gas-Spring Assisted Backrest Adjustment

0–75° ±5° Adjustment Range

The patient platform uses a sectional design with an adjustable backrest.

A gas-spring assisted mechanism controls the back section from approximately 0° to 75° ±5° and is designed for convenient one-hand operation.

This allows caregivers to change the patient's upper-body position while the patient remains supported on the transport trolley.

Central Braking System with Four Ø150 mm Casters

One Mobility System for Transport and Stationary Use

The JH-OCT103 is equipped with four 150 mm central-control casters and a foot-operated central braking system.

The caster configuration is specified with wear-resistant and anti-entanglement characteristics together with protective dust covers.

Why Central Braking Matters in Hospital Projects

A hospital trolley frequently changes between movement and stationary patient handling. A central braking system provides a practical way to secure the transport chassis before patient transfer, positioning or other care procedures.

For project procurement, buyers should evaluate the braking configuration together with caster diameter and steering system rather than comparing wheel size alone.

Independent Fifth Wheel for Directional Transport

Directional Guidance along Hospital Corridors

An independent central fifth wheel is integrated into the trolley chassis. Operating pedals are positioned on both sides.

When the fifth wheel is engaged, it assists straight-line directional movement and helps caregivers control the forward direction of the trolley during transportation.

Free Caster Movement for Turning and Positioning

When the fifth wheel is retracted, the trolley returns to free multidirectional movement on its four main casters.

This allows staff to switch between directional guidance for longer routes and flexible maneuvering when entering rooms or positioning the trolley.

Spring-Damped Fifth-Wheel Mechanism

The fifth wheel incorporates a spring damping mechanism, providing additional compliance when the trolley passes over uneven sections of the transport route.

ABS Patient Platform with Integrated Operating Handles

One-Piece Molded Construction

The patient platform is manufactured from one-piece molded ABS engineering plastic.

Handles are integrated around the four corners of the platform, providing additional gripping points for caregivers when maneuvering or positioning the trolley.

The ABS platform is specified for flame resistance, corrosion resistance and toughness as part of the original product design.

ABS Lift-Up Side Rails with Gas-Spring Damping

1080 × 260 × 35 mm Side Rail Configuration

Two ABS lift-up side rails are fitted to the trolley. Each side rail measures approximately 1080 × 260 × 35 mm.

The raised rails provide lateral patient protection during transportation, while the lift-up design allows the rail to be lowered when closer patient access is required.

Controlled Rail Lowering

A gas-spring damping mechanism is incorporated into the lowering action, providing more controlled movement when the side rail is released.

Oxygen Cylinder Holder for Intra-Hospital Transportation

An oxygen cylinder holder is positioned at the head end of the trolley.

The holder is designed for an oxygen cylinder with a diameter of approximately 135 mm, allowing compatible oxygen equipment to remain with the patient during hospital transportation when required.

Telescopic Stainless Steel IV Pole

The standard configuration includes a telescopic stainless steel IV pole.

Diagonal IV pole sockets are positioned at the head and foot ends, allowing the pole to be installed according to the patient's infusion and transport requirements.

20 mm Mattress with Two Safety Straps

The JH-OCT103 is supplied with a 20 mm thick Oxford-fabric mattress.

Two safety straps are included for additional patient restraint during transportation when appropriately positioned and used.

For hospital procurement, the mattress and restraint configuration should be considered together with the side rails as part of the complete patient-support system.

What Should Hospital Buyers Compare before Selecting a Transport Trolley?

1. Height Adjustment Method

Confirm whether the trolley uses electric, hydraulic or mechanical height adjustment. The JH-OCT103 uses a manual crank system with a 560–860 mm adjustment range.

2. Load Capacity

Review the manufacturer's stated load specification. This model has a maximum load capacity of 300 kg.

3. Frame Construction

Look beyond general descriptions such as “steel frame.” The JH-OCT103 specifies 50 × 30 × 2 mm rectangular steel longitudinal members and 2.5 mm cold-rolled steel triangular supports.

4. Braking Configuration

For frequent hospital use, determine whether the equipment uses individual wheel brakes or a central braking system. This model uses four 150 mm central-control casters with central braking.

5. Directional Control

A fifth wheel can be valuable when equipment is frequently moved along longer corridors. The JH-OCT103 provides a retractable central fifth wheel with spring damping.

6. Patient Access and Protection

Evaluate the side rail design, mattress and restraint system. This model combines lift-up ABS side rails, gas-spring damped lowering and two patient safety straps.

7. Clinical Support Accessories

Consider whether oxygen and infusion equipment can remain with the trolley during patient movement. The JH-OCT103 includes an oxygen cylinder holder and telescopic stainless steel IV pole.
