PivotPro Bedside Table - Smart Pivoting Overbed Table for Low and Profiling Beds.
- Frame-Mounted - Table Moves With the Bed Height - the PivotPro clamps directly to the bed frame rather than resting on the floor, which means the table surface rises and lowers with the bed during height adjustments; a standard floor-standing overbed table at a fixed height becomes inaccessible when the bed is lowered to ultra-low or low positions, leaving the table surface far above the resident's reach when the bed is at 90mm, 220mm, or any low transfer height; the PivotPro solves this by following the bed's height at all positions, keeping the table surface accessible regardless of the bed height setting.
- Pivots Between Beside-Bed and Over-Bed Positions - the table can pivot from a beside-bed position - providing a flat surface alongside the bed for items the resident wants within reach without the table being over their body - to an over-bed position that spans across the mattress surface for meals, drinks, reading, or other activities that require a stable surface directly over the resident; this positional flexibility from a single clamped unit allows the care team or resident to switch between the two configurations as required without repositioning floor-standing furniture.
- Reduces Trip Hazard for Low-Bed Transfers - a standard floor-standing bedside table or overbed table creates a trip hazard for carers and residents performing transfers from low-height or ultra-low beds, where the resident must stand up from a very low position and may be unsteady during the initial standing phase; the absence of a floor-level table base in the immediate transfer zone removes this trip obstacle; approximately 10cm of under-bed clearance is required for the PivotPro's frame clamp mechanism.
- 8kg SWL - 6kg Unit Weight - Woburn Range Except Ultimate - SWL 8kg; surface weight must not be exceeded; compatible with the full Woburn range with the exception of the Woburn Ultimate; removable spacers accommodate different frame profiles; product code NCL-HLDWUL120; the table must be confirmed firmly clamped before each use and the SWL must not be exceeded to prevent the clamp from shifting under load.
PivotPro Bedside Table - Frame-Mounted - Moves with Bed Height - Pivots Beside and Over-Bed - 8kg SWL
The PivotPro Bedside Table clamps to the Woburn profiling bed frame, moving with the bed at all height settings to maintain accessibility that floor-standing tables cannot provide at low and ultra-low positions. Pivots between a beside-bed and an over-bed surface configuration. Eliminates the floor-level trip hazard of standard overbed table bases in transfer zones. 8kg SWL; requires approximately 10cm under-bed clearance. Compatible with full Woburn range except Woburn Ultimate. Removable spacers for frame compatibility. Weight 6kg. NCL-HLDWUL120.

Regulatory Compliance
The PivotPro Bedside Table addresses the trip hazard created by floor-standing furniture in low-bed transfer zones per MHRA bed safety guidance and MHOR 1992 manual handling risk assessment principles. The SWL of 8kg must not be exceeded; overloading may cause the frame clamp to shift, creating a sudden weight shift risk. The under-bed clearance of approximately 10cm must be confirmed before fitting. The clamp must be checked for firm engagement before each use and after each bed height adjustment. Equipment records must include the table product code and the compatible bed model for CQC Regulation 12 compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a standard overbed table become problematic with low and ultra-low profiling beds?
Standard overbed tables are designed for hospital-style beds at conventional heights, typically in the range of 500-750mm. The table height is adjusted by extending its column from a floor-standing base, and the table surface is positioned at a comfortable working level for a resident lying in bed at that standard height range. When a low or ultra-low profiling bed is lowered to its minimum position - 220mm for a low bed, 90mm for the Ultra Low 800, or 67mm for the Ultra-Low model - the table's lowest possible surface height is still far above the mattress surface and the resident's reach. The table cannot be lowered to match the bed position without the floor-standing base being too short, and the floor-standing base itself sits in the immediate transfer zone around the bed, creating a trip obstacle for carers and for residents who are standing up from the low bed position. The PivotPro's frame-mounted design addresses both problems: the table surface follows the bed height automatically at all positions, and there is no floor-standing base to create a trip hazard in the transfer zone.
What weight can be safely placed on the PivotPro, and what happens if the SWL is exceeded?
The PivotPro has a Safe Working Load of 8kg on the table surface. This accommodates a typical range of bedside items including a meal tray with food and drink, books, a laptop or tablet, personal care items, and similar everyday objects. The SWL is determined by the load capacity of the frame clamp and the pivot mechanism; exceeding 8kg increases the load on the clamp, which can cause the clamp to slip on the bed frame, potentially allowing the table to drop suddenly under load. For context, a full meal tray including covered dishes and a drink might weigh 2-3kg; a laptop computer typically weighs 1-2kg; medical equipment such as a nebuliser or portable suction unit must be weighed before placement on the PivotPro to confirm it is within the SWL. Items that are fixed pieces of medical equipment should not be placed on the PivotPro without confirming their weight, and multiple items placed simultaneously should have their combined weight assessed against the 8kg limit. The clamp engagement must be checked by hand before placing any load on the surface.
