In hospital and aged care environments, the risks and costs of workplace injuries continue to be an area where more advancements and new product solutions are needed. One of the major causes of injuries in healthcare environment relates to traditional (manual) patient handling and transportation methods.

Belgium healthcare manufacturer PTS have been specializing in solutions for internal transport for the medical sector for the past fourteen years. As part of their people transport range they offer a product solution which ensures highly efficient management of every internal bed transport and can provide a significant decrease in staff injury and physical work load for the end user.
The PTS4 Bed Mover can be attached to all types of patient beds in just a few seconds and easily moves the bed with no need for the operator to push or pull. The bed mover effectively ‘drives’ the bed with sideways, pivoting, forward and reverse movement. It stops the bed immediately and without effort and can travel over all floor surfaces. This bed mover is based on advanced computer technology which allows progressive speed and steering control, ensuring the necessary precision to manoeuvre in small spaces.
The PTS4 Bed Mover has a very small footprint of just 53L x 81.5W x 113H cm, which ensures the total length of the bed when attached can still fit in small lifts, small patient rooms and around tight corners.
One of the most interesting features of this bed mover is that it uses custom designed claws which are easily configured to cater for all types of hospital beds including hi-low varieties, patient trolleys, wheelchairs and even mortuary trolleys and similar equipment - without accessories and modifications to the equipment.
With all these features the PTS Bed Mover really is an advanced product solution for patient transport, which can help improve productivity and reduce the risks and costs of staff injuries caused by manual handling tasks such as internal patient transfers.
Starting in January 2015, the PTS4 Bed Mover is now distributed exclusively in Australia by EBOS Healthcare.
EBOS Healthcare is already a market leader in the Hospital capital equipment and patient handling solutions market , which makes the PTS range a perfect fit. This along with EBOS’s national coverage of distribution centres, dedicated Account Managers and the EBOS national service network ensure customers get all the service, products and support that they require.
