Hydraulic Hospital Transport Stretcher Built for Professional Patient Transfer

When hospitals purchase patient transport stretchers, basic mobility is only one part of the specification. The equipment may need to move through long corridors, maneuver inside treatment areas, work alongside beds at different heights and support patients who require positioning or clinical support during transportation.

The JH-PC101 hydraulic hospital transport stretcher is configured for these demanding intra-hospital applications. It combines a 320 kg safe working load, 630–930 mm hydraulic height adjustment, multi-position patient support, X-ray translucent HPL platform, retractable central fifth wheel and a central braking system.

Large 200 mm medical casters, stainless steel folding side rails, an integrated oxygen cylinder tray and IV pole support further expand the stretcher's functionality for hospital projects and professional healthcare facilities.

320 kg Safe Working Load for Hospital Procurement

A Clearly Defined Load Specification

The JH-PC101 has a specified safe working load of 320 kg, providing hospital procurement teams with a clearly defined load capacity when evaluating patient transfer equipment.

For project purchasing, safe working load should be assessed together with the stretcher dimensions, platform size, adjustment system and intended patient population rather than comparing product appearance alone.

630–930 mm Dual Hydraulic Height Adjustment

Adapt the Stretcher to Different Clinical Working Heights

The patient platform can be raised or lowered between approximately 630 mm and 930 mm. The high-low adjustment system uses two hydraulic cylinders.

This allows caregivers to change the working height according to the transfer procedure and the equipment positioned beside the stretcher.

Useful for Multi-Department Hospital Projects

Hospital beds, treatment equipment and other patient support surfaces may operate at different heights. Hydraulic height adjustment gives the stretcher greater flexibility when it is used across multiple departments rather than at one fixed location.

Multi-Position Adjustment beyond Basic Patient Transport

0–85° Backrest Adjustment

The back section is supported by a gas-spring assisted system and can be adjusted from 0° to approximately 85°.

This allows the patient's upper body to be positioned from flat lying to a substantially raised posture according to the clinical situation.

0–40° Knee Section Adjustment

The knee section provides approximately 0–40° of adjustment. A manual crank is included in the standard configuration for operating this section.

0–18° Tilt Adjustment

The patient platform also provides an overall tilt range of approximately 0–18°.

Together with hydraulic height adjustment, these functions provide a wider range of patient positions than a conventional fixed-height, flat transport trolley.

X-Ray Translucent HPL Platform for Clinical Imaging Access

1926 × 620 × 6 mm HPL Patient Platform

The patient platform uses high-strength HPL material and measures approximately 1926 × 620 × 6 mm.

The platform is designed to allow X-ray transmission through the support surface, giving hospitals additional flexibility when imaging access is required during the patient's clinical pathway.

Why Does the Platform Material Matter to Hospital Buyers?

A patient transfer stretcher may move between several departments during the same episode of care. For procurement teams, an X-ray translucent platform can be an important specification when selecting equipment intended for clinical environments where diagnostic imaging access may be required.

Retractable Central Fifth Wheel for Directional Stability

Designed for Longer Hospital Corridors

The JH-PC101 incorporates an independent central fifth-wheel system. Control pedals are installed on both sides of the stretcher.

When the fifth wheel is engaged, it helps control the forward direction of the stretcher and reduces the effect of transport inertia on directional movement.

This is particularly useful when staff need to move the stretcher over longer straight routes within a hospital.

Retract the Fifth Wheel for Flexible Maneuvering

When the fifth wheel is raised, the stretcher can move freely on its four main casters. This provides greater maneuvering flexibility when turning, positioning or working in tighter clinical areas.

The ability to switch between directional tracking and free maneuvering gives the mobility system greater versatility across different hospital layouts.

Ø200 mm Casters with Central Braking System

Four Central-Locking Medical Casters

The stretcher is equipped with four 200 mm medical casters connected to a central braking system.

Foot-operated controls allow the four wheels to be secured together rather than requiring staff to lock each caster separately.

Reinforced Central Brake Linkage

The central brake linkage uses an integrated round-tube construction designed to provide greater structural strength during repeated operation.

For hospitals where transfer equipment is moved and stopped frequently throughout the day, brake configuration is an important procurement consideration alongside caster diameter and steering control.

Four-Corner Bumper Wheels for Equipment Protection

The stretcher incorporates 70 × 80 mm bumper wheels at its four corners.

These components provide additional perimeter protection during routine movement through corridors, doorways and other clinical spaces where the stretcher may come into contact with surrounding equipment or structures.

Stainless Steel Folding Side Rails with Reinforced Locks

1240 mm Side Rails for Patient Protection

The JH-PC101 uses stainless steel folding side rails measuring approximately 1240 mm in length.

When raised, the rails extend approximately 430 mm above the patient platform. Zinc die-cast locking components are used at the operating points to provide a strong and secure locking structure.

Fold-Down Access for Transfer and Clinical Procedures

The side rails can be folded down when staff need closer lateral access to the patient. This allows the same rail system to provide protection during transportation and open access during patient handling.

Integrated Oxygen Cylinder Tray for Hospital Transfer

20 kg Load Capacity

An integrated tray is installed beneath the stretcher for carrying an oxygen cylinder during patient transportation.

The tray has a specified load capacity of 20 kg, allowing compatible oxygen support equipment to remain with the stretcher during movement between hospital departments.

IV Pole Support and Storage

The standard configuration includes one IV pole together with four standard IV pole sockets.

A dedicated IV pole storage holder is also incorporated into the stretcher, providing a fixed location for storing the pole when it is not in use.

Water-Resistant Mattress with Washable Outer Cover

The standard mattress measures approximately 1840 × 600 × 80 mm.

Its outer fabric has a water-resistant surface treatment and incorporates a zipper, allowing the external cover to be removed for washing.

This provides a practical cleaning configuration for transfer equipment used repeatedly within professional healthcare facilities.

What Should Hospital Buyers Compare When Selecting a Hydraulic Stretcher?

1. Safe Working Load

Check the specified SWL against the intended patient population. The JH-PC101 provides a 320 kg safe working load.

2. Height Adjustment System

Confirm both the adjustment range and the operating system. This model provides 630–930 mm height adjustment through dual hydraulic cylinders.

3. Patient Positioning Functions

Compare more than the backrest angle. The JH-PC101 provides 0–85° backrest adjustment, 0–40° knee adjustment and 0–18° tilt adjustment.

4. Steering and Braking Configuration

For equipment that travels across multiple hospital departments, the combination of a retractable fifth wheel, Ø200 mm casters and central braking provides a more complete mobility system than caster size alone.

5. Imaging Compatibility

If the stretcher may be used in workflows involving diagnostic imaging, buyers should confirm the patient platform material. The JH-PC101 uses a 1926 × 620 × 6 mm X-ray translucent HPL platform.

6. Clinical Support Accessories

Oxygen cylinder storage, IV pole support and side rail configuration should also be considered when evaluating how the stretcher will function during actual patient transportation.
