Rotec Versatech bariatric bed with esense electric drive

About Rotec beds and the Versatech bariatric bed

Rotec Beds develops hospital beds for demanding healthcare environments. One of their key solutions is the Versatech bariatric bed, designed for bariatric patient care, combining high load capacity with stability, comfort and advanced functionality.

Challenge: reducing caregiver strain when moving hospital beds

Bariatric beds are essential in modern healthcare, but their size and weight make them difficult to move. Transporting a bariatric bed through hospital corridors, positioning it in patient rooms or manoeuvring it in tight spaces can require significant physical effort from healthcare staff.

Reducing the push and pull forces required to move bariatric beds is therefore an important consideration for safer patient transport and workplace ergonomics. High push and pull forces when moving heavy beds can increase physical strain and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

Solution: esense electric drive for bariatric bed mobility

To improve bariatric bed mobility, the esense electric Up drive wheel was integrated into the Versatech bariatric bed. The electric drive system responds to the user’s movement and provides intuitive powered assistance when pushing and guiding the bed.

As a result, even heavy bariatric beds can be moved smoothly and precisely with significantly less physical effort. Healthcare staff remain in full control while the drive system reduces the physical forces required during transport and positioning. This transforms a traditionally heavy task into a controlled and ergonomic movement.
