Hospital Portering Chair

Detailed product information

This Hospital Portering Chair is built around a stainless steel frame that copes well with continuous use in clinical settings and is resistant to corrosion when used outdoors. The frame and contact surfaces are designed for easy wipe-cleaning, helping to fit into standard infection-control routines. With its durable construction, the chair offers a reliable option for frequent patient moves without complex maintenance.

For transfers, the porter chair includes moulded drop-down armrests, which allow side access for patients and assistants and a sliding HDPE footplate that supports the feet during transit. The footplate is made from a robust plastic that is intended to take the user's weight and reduce tipping risk while on the move. The seat and backrest proportions are sized to provide stable seating during short transports.

Mobility is supported by swivelling rear castors that enable rear steering and by durable wheels suited to typical hospital floors such as tiles, linoleum and short-pile carpet. The chair is supplied with rear-braked castors to hold position when required, making it easier to secure the chair during transfers. Its compact footprint and lightweight handling help when steering through narrow corridors and busy bays.

When not in use the chair nests for reduced floor space, helping keep storage tidy in busy departments. Surfaces such as stainless steel and HDPE resist stains and are quick to disinfect between uses. The chair is intended for patient transport inside healthcare and care settings and should be used in line with local policies and staff training.
