Hospital Patient Transfer Stretcher Designed for Daily Clinical Transport

Patient transfer equipment used inside a hospital needs to perform reliably across different departments, corridors and care situations. For procurement teams, mobility alone is not enough. Platform height, braking operation, patient positioning, side access and caster configuration all influence how effectively a stretcher fits into the hospital's daily workflow.

The JH-OCT102 hospital patient transfer stretcher combines a 510–850 mm height-adjustable platform, 0–70° gas-spring assisted backrest, central braking system, horizontally folding side rails and four 150 mm twin-wheel medical casters.

With an overall size of 1925 × 663 mm, the stretcher provides a relatively compact patient transport platform for movement between wards, treatment areas and other clinical departments.

Central Braking System for Hospital Transport Workflows

Foot-Operated Brake Control

A central braking system is one of the key configurations of the JH-OCT102. Foot controls are positioned around the stretcher chassis so caregivers can operate the braking system when transitioning between patient transport and stationary positioning.

Compared with a basic stretcher that requires individual operation at each caster, the central brake configuration provides a more practical control method for equipment that is moved and repositioned frequently during hospital use.

Useful for Repeated Stop-and-Go Operation

Hospital stretchers may be moved from a ward into a corridor, positioned beside other equipment and then transported to another department. Convenient brake operation becomes particularly relevant in this type of repeated stop-and-go workflow.

510–850 mm Height Adjustment for Different Clinical Requirements

Adaptable Patient Platform Height

The patient platform can be adjusted from approximately 510 mm to 850 mm. This gives hospital staff greater flexibility when preparing the stretcher for patient handling and temporary care procedures.

Height adjustment is also useful when the stretcher needs to work alongside hospital beds or other patient-support equipment with different surface heights.

More Flexible than a Fixed-Height Transport Stretcher

A fixed-height trolley provides limited adaptability when clinical conditions change. The adjustable platform of the JH-OCT102 allows the working level to be modified according to the transfer situation rather than requiring every procedure to take place at one predetermined height.

0–70° Gas-Spring Assisted Backrest

Flexible Upper-Body Positioning without an Electric Actuator

The backrest can be adjusted from 0° to approximately 70°. A gas-spring mechanism assists the movement of the back section, allowing caregivers to change the patient's upper-body position without an electric backrest actuator.

The patient can therefore remain in a flat lying position for transportation or be repositioned into a more upright posture when required for temporary resting and care.

Additional Positioning Capability on the Transport Platform

For procurement teams comparing different stretcher configurations, an adjustable backrest adds functionality beyond basic horizontal transportation. It allows the same platform to support different patient positions without requiring immediate transfer to another piece of equipment.

150 mm Twin-Wheel Medical Casters

Designed for Movement through Hospital Departments

The stretcher is equipped with four 150 mm twin-wheel resin casters. The caster configuration supports maneuverability during routine movement through hospital corridors, wards and treatment areas.

The twin-wheel system works together with the central braking mechanism to provide a complete mobility configuration for everyday hospital patient transport.

Horizontally Folding Side Rails with Safety Locks

Patient Protection during Transport

Protective side rails provide lateral support while the patient is positioned on the stretcher. The rail system incorporates safety locking mechanisms to help keep the protective components secured in their working position.

Open Lateral Access When Required

When hospital staff need closer access for patient transfer, examination or infusion procedures, the side rails can be lowered horizontally.

This allows the stretcher to change from a protected transport configuration to a more open care configuration without permanently removing the side protection system.

Molded PP Patient Platform and Protective Components

Practical Surfaces for Routine Hospital Use

The patient platform and protective components use molded PP construction. The smooth molded surfaces provide a practical finish for routine cleaning and everyday clinical operation.

For hospital procurement, material configuration should be evaluated together with mobility, braking, adjustment and patient-access features rather than as an isolated specification.

Integrated IV Pole for Patient Transport

An IV pole is included in the stretcher configuration, allowing infusion support to accompany the patient when required during transportation.

This is useful when patients receiving infusion therapy need to move between wards or clinical departments without relying on a separate mobile IV stand.

What Should Hospital Buyers Compare When Selecting a Transfer Stretcher?

1. Brake Configuration

For equipment that moves frequently through a hospital, buyers should determine whether the stretcher uses individual caster brakes or a central braking system. The JH-OCT102 uses a foot-operated central braking configuration.

2. Platform Height Range

Adjustable height affects how easily the stretcher can adapt to different patient-handling situations. This model provides an approximate platform height range of 510–850 mm.

3. Patient Positioning Capability

A fixed flat platform may be sufficient for basic transport, while an adjustable backrest provides additional positioning flexibility. The JH-OCT102 offers 0–70° gas-spring assisted backrest adjustment.

4. Side Access

Side rails need to provide protection without unnecessarily obstructing caregivers. Horizontally folding rails allow the side of the platform to be opened when closer access is required.

5. Caster Configuration

Caster diameter and wheel design influence everyday maneuverability. This model uses four 150 mm twin-wheel resin medical casters combined with the central braking system.
