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.

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 maneuvering it in tight spaces can require significant physical effort from caregivers.
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.
Learn how esense reduces physical strain


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. Caregivers 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.

With the integrated electric drive support, moving a bariatric bed becomes significantly easier and safer. Caregivers experience less physical strain, beds can be maneuvered more precisely, and patient transport becomes smoother and more controlled.
The result is safer patient handling, improved workplace ergonomics and greater confidence for healthcare staff when moving bariatric patients.
What others say
"...eliminates any effort required during movement"
“The motorized fifth wheel is activated by a simple touch on the push handles and eliminates any effort required during initial movement, steering and turning.”
