Check the rating before you buy, not after the bed arrives.

Hospital bed for a heavier patient Kenya

Quick answer: The 3-function electric bed carries 225kg and is the strongest rated bed in our published catalogue. It is KSh 120,000. If the patient's weight plus the mattress approaches or exceeds that figure, tell us before ordering so we can confirm what is suitable rather than sell you a frame that is not.

What the rating covers

A load rating is the patient plus the mattress plus the force a caregiver applies leaning on the edge during a transfer. Treat the number as the working limit for the whole loaded bed, not the patient's weight alone. Details on weight capacity.

Electric is not optional at higher weights

Cranking a bed with a heavy patient on it is hard work and it gets harder every week. For heavier patients the electric bed is the practical choice, and a manual bed usually ends up unused within a month.

Width and the room

Standard frames are around 900mm wide. Where a wider frame is needed, that is a special order and we will say so honestly rather than promise stock we do not hold. Call 0112 131 237 with the patient's weight and the room measurements and we will tell you what we can actually supply.
