What are the solutions and key benefits?
Based on a recent hospital trial.
A recent hospital trial demonstrated that the Powered Drive Transport Chair significantly
reduced workplace injuries and enhanced patient comfort, making it a safer solution for
healthcare facilities. To address manual handling risks and improve patient transport, the
hospital implemented these chairs, which feature an intelligent power-assisted system
that allows staff to manoeuvre patients with minimal effort. The chairs have a safe
working load of over 300kg, ensuring effortless transport for patients.

What challenges are faced daily by hospital staff?
Hospitals face several challenges with standard wheelchairs and transport chairs, including staff injury
and fatigue, limited mobility for heavier patients, patient pressure-related injuries and discomfort, and
difficult navigation in tight spaces and up ramps. Staff experience strain and workplace injuries from
manually pushing heavier patients, while traditional wheelchairs, often limited to 100–150kg, restrict
patient mobility. Prolonged wheelchair use leads to discomfort and pressure-related injuries, and
navigating hospital spaces and ramps proves challenging, especially when managing multiple patients.
