Gas Lift Overbed Table with Wheelchair Base - Height-Adjustable Table for Wheelchair Users and Bedside Use
The Gas Lift Overbed Table with Wheelchair Base is specified for patients who use both a profiling bed and a wheelchair in residential care, community care or hospital settings. The H-shaped lower frame slides directly under wheelchair footplates, bringing the 80x40cm laminated work surface over the patient's lap without requiring a transfer. Gas-lift height adjustment from 80 to 105cm via an ergonomic handle means the table height is set precisely for the task - eating, writing, device use, occupational therapy - and adjusted independently by either the patient or a carer without tools. Rear braking castors lock the table in position during use.

Regulatory Compliance
The Gas Lift Overbed Table with Wheelchair Base supports CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) by enabling patients to eat, work and engage in activities at their preferred height from both bed and wheelchair positions without requiring carer assistance for table adjustment. The wipe-clean laminated tabletop surface supports NHS Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) standards for frequently touched surfaces in care environments. MHOR 1992 manual handling principles are addressed by the gas-lift mechanism, which removes any carer manual handling burden during height adjustment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Wheelchair Base and Straight Leg Base overbed tables?
The Wheelchair Base uses an H-shaped lower frame that slides under wheelchair footplates, making the table accessible to patients seated in a wheelchair. The Straight Leg Base uses a conventional U-shaped frame suited to standard bedside and chair use but does not clear wheelchair footplates. Both share the same 80-105cm gas-lift range, 15kg capacity, 80x40cm tabletop and rear braking castors - the only structural difference is the base configuration.
Can the wheelchair base table also be used as a standard overbed table at the bedside?
Yes. The H-frame base fits over standard profiling and fixed-height bed frames as well as wheelchairs, so the table functions as a conventional overbed table at the bedside. The 15kg capacity accommodates meals, drinks, devices, clinical trays and occupational therapy equipment in typical residential and community care scenarios.
