Hospital Surgical Transfer Trolley for Operating Room Patient Transfer

When hospitals procure patient transfer equipment for operating room workflows, the evaluation goes beyond basic stretcher dimensions and caster size. The transfer method, docking structure, platform locking system, braking configuration and materials used in critical components all affect how the equipment fits into the hospital's transport process.

The JH-OCT105 is a dual-trolley patient transfer system designed around a sliding patient platform. Two separate trolley units can be height-adjusted and aligned at the transfer point, allowing the patient platform to move from one trolley to the other along a dedicated docking track.

Once the platform reaches the receiving trolley, it automatically locks into position and an additional safety mechanism provides secondary securing.

Dual-Trolley Architecture for Hospital Transfer Projects

Two Mobile Bases with One Transferable Patient Platform

The JH-OCT105 differs from a conventional single-base transport stretcher. Its system consists of two trolley units together with a patient platform that can move between them.

For hospital procurement teams, this is an important distinction because the product should be evaluated as a complete docking transfer system rather than as an individual transport trolley.

Height Alignment before Docking Transfer

Both trolley units can be adjusted in height. Before the patient platform is transferred, the two units are brought to the same level to create an aligned transfer path.

The complete system has an overall specification of L3650 × W640 × H640–970 mm.

The supplied technical documentation confirms that both trolley units are height-adjustable but does not specify the lifting drive type. Therefore, the system is described as height-adjustable without assigning an unsupported electric or hydraulic lifting mechanism.

A380.2 High-Strength Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy Docking Track

Dedicated Track for Sliding Platform Transfer

The docking track is manufactured from A380.2 high-strength aluminum alloy using a die-casting process.

Its function is to provide a stable guided path for movement of the patient platform between the two trolley units.

For project buyers comparing different docking stretchers, the track material should be evaluated separately from the trolley frame material. On the JH-OCT105, the transfer track is aluminum alloy while the main trolley body is welded carbon structural steel.

Sliding ABS Patient Platform with Four Quiet-Running Rollers

Platform-Based Patient Transfer

The patient platform is manufactured from molded ABS engineering plastic.

Four quiet-running rollers are installed underneath the platform to support movement along the docking track.

After the two trolley units have been correctly aligned, the platform can slide from the sending trolley onto the receiving trolley.

One Platform across Two Trolley Units

This platform-based transfer principle allows the patient support surface to move between the two mobile bases as part of the docking procedure.

For hospital projects, this is the primary structural difference between the JH-OCT105 and a conventional one-piece transport stretcher.

Automatic Locking with Secondary Safety Mechanism

Automatic Securing after Platform Transfer

When the patient platform reaches the receiving trolley, it automatically locks into position.

An additional safety mechanism is also incorporated into the system to provide secondary securing after the platform has completed its sliding movement.

304 Stainless Steel Locking Components

Both the locking mechanism and the secondary safety device use 304 stainless steel components.

For hospital procurement, the automatic locking system should be considered together with the docking track and platform rollers as one integrated transfer mechanism.

Central Braking on Both Trolley Units

Eight Ø150 mm Central-Control Casters

The complete transfer system is equipped with eight Ø150 mm central-control casters.

Both trolley units use central braking systems, allowing each mobile base to be secured during positioning and docking.

Detailed Caster Construction

The caster structure uses PA6 for the main frame and wheel core, together with a TPU wear-resistant tread.

Precision ball bearings are incorporated into the wheel assembly. The caster design is specified for reduced noise and vibration during movement.

The original specification also identifies center-locking and full-locking functions within the central-control caster configuration.

Ø100 mm Directional Wheel

The standard configuration includes one Ø100 mm directional wheel.

This component provides directional assistance when the trolley is being moved and additional straight-line control is required.

Welded Carbon Steel Main Trolley Structure

Do Not Confuse the Frame with the Aluminum Docking Track

The main trolley body is manufactured from welded carbon structural steel.

The steel surface undergoes rust-removal treatment followed by electrostatic resin powder coating.

The JH-OCT105 therefore uses different materials for different structural functions: carbon steel for the main trolley body, A380.2 aluminum alloy for the transfer track, ABS engineering plastic for the patient platform and side rails, and 304 stainless steel for the locking and safety mechanisms.

Gas-Spring Assisted Backrest

The patient platform incorporates an adjustable backrest supported by a gas spring.

This provides assisted backrest positioning without the technical specification assigning an electric actuator to the back section.

No numerical backrest angle is stated in the supplied technical documentation, so the product specification should not be published with an unsupported adjustment range.

Lift-Up ABS Side Rails

The patient platform is equipped with molded ABS engineering-plastic lift-up side rails.

The rails provide lateral protection around the patient platform during transportation and can be repositioned when closer access to the patient is required.

Ø19 mm Two-Section 304 Stainless Steel IV Pole

The standard configuration includes one adjustable two-section IV pole.

The IV pole is manufactured from 304 stainless steel and has a specified diameter of Ø19 mm.

This provides an integrated location for compatible infusion support during hospital patient transportation.

What Should Hospital Buyers Evaluate in a Docking Transfer Trolley?

1. Transfer Architecture

Determine whether the product is a conventional single trolley or a complete docking system. The JH-OCT105 uses two trolley units and one transferable sliding patient platform.

2. Docking Track Material

The transfer track is a critical structural component. The JH-OCT105 uses a high-strength A380.2 die-cast aluminum alloy track.

3. Platform Movement

Confirm how the patient platform moves between the two trolley units. This model uses four quiet-running rollers beneath the ABS platform.

4. Platform Securing

Evaluate how the platform is retained after reaching the receiving trolley. The JH-OCT105 combines automatic locking with a secondary safety mechanism.

5. Locking Component Material

The locking and safety components on this model are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

6. Trolley Braking Configuration

Both mobile bases are equipped with central braking systems rather than relying solely on individual wheel braking.

7. Caster Specification

The complete system uses eight Ø150 mm central-control casters with PA6 structures, TPU treads and precision ball bearings.

8. Directional Control

A Ø100 mm directional wheel is included to provide additional directional assistance during trolley movement.

9. Shipping Configuration

Because the system consists of multiple major components, procurement teams should also review the separate packing dimensions of the main and secondary trolley when planning international freight.

Operating Room Transfer Workflow

Position the Sending and Receiving Trolleys

Bring the two trolley units to the designated transfer point from their respective transport areas.

Adjust Both Trolleys to the Same Level

Use the height-adjustment functions to establish an aligned transfer path between the two units.

Secure the Trolley Bases

Use the central braking systems to stabilize the two mobile bases before platform movement begins.

Transfer the Patient Platform

The platform travels along the A380.2 docking track using the four rollers installed underneath.

Automatic Locking

When the platform reaches the receiving trolley, the automatic locking mechanism secures it in position.

Engage the Secondary Safety Mechanism

The additional safety device provides another securing element before the docking process is completed.

Continue Patient Transportation

After the platform is correctly secured, the two units can be separated and the receiving trolley can continue to the next hospital area.
