Decoding Crank Systems: 3-Crank, Single-Crank, and Double-Crank Explained

1. 3-Crank Manual Hospital Beds: The Gold Standard for Versatile Adjustment

Our 3-crank models are designed for facilities needing precise, multi-position adjustments without motorized assistance. Featuring three independent crank handles:

  • Head Elevation Crank: Adjusts the upper body from 0° to 70°, ideal for feeding, reading, or reducing respiratory distress.
  • Knee Elevation Crank: Controls the lower body angle (0° to 40°), relieving pressure on the lower back and improving circulation.
  • Height Adjustment Crank: Lowers or raises the bed frame between 30–80 cm, ensuring safe caregiver access and patient transfers.

Características principales:

  • Foldable Half-Length Rails: Enhance patient safety while allowing easy caregiver access, compliant with ISO 7176 fall-prevention standards.
  • Silent Glide Casters: Four heavy-duty wheels with locking brakes enable smooth transport and stable positioning, even in busy wards.
  • Anti-Rust Coatings: Stainless steel components and powder-coated frames resist corrosion, making them suitable for humid or high-moisture environments.

2. Single-Crank vs. Double-Crank: Tailored for Basic to Intermediate Care

Single-Crank Manual Beds: Simplicity for Essential Care

Ideal for basic care settings like temporary clinics or home healthcare, single-crank beds offer a single handle to adjust both head and knee elevation simultaneously. This streamlined design:

  • Reduces training time for caregivers
  • Minimizes mechanical parts, lowering maintenance needs
  • Features a lightweight frame (≤50 kg) for easy relocation

Double-Crank Manual Beds: Balancing Functionality and Simplicity

Double-crank models add a separate height adjustment crank to the single-crank system, providing two independent controls:

  • Head/knee elevation for patient comfort
  • Bed height for caregiver ergonomics

These beds strike a balance between the basic single-crank and the versatile 3-crank, making them popular in long-term care facilities and rehabilitation units.

Both single and double-crank models share Novalion’s commitment to durability, with:

  • Reinforced Joints: Tested to withstand 5,000+ crank cycles without wear
  • Easy-Clean Surfaces: Smooth ABS plastic bed decks and removable mattress platforms for quick disinfection
  • Capacidad de carga: Supports up to 200 kg, ensuring safety for a wide range of patients.
