Wholesale three function electric hospital beds with mattress Company - Bulk Supply and Specification Guide
The three-function electric bed platform is defined by the choice of actuator architecture and frame welding sequence. A single-motor system with a mechanical linkage reduces component count but introduces a single point of failure that often manifests as uneven deck articulation after 18 months of daily cycling. Dual-motor designs isolate head, foot, and height functions, yet the added wiring harnesses increase the risk of pinch points during deck folding unless the cable routing channels are CNC-machined into the frame rails.
Mattress integration is not an afterthought; the deck's slat spacing and the mattress's border wire diameter must be co-validated to prevent hammocking at the thigh break. We have seen 120 kg static load tests pass while the same bed fails a 20,000-cycle dynamic test because the foam's indentation force deflection drops 15% after the first 5,000 cycles. Specifying a minimum 1.8 lb/ft³ high-resilience foam with a 35 ILD core and a fire-blocking fabric that meets CA 117 eliminates the early sagging complaints that drive warranty returns.
Size, Weight and Specification Range
| Model | Overall Dimensions (L×W×H) mm | Deck Dimensions (L×W) mm | Weight Capacity kg | Net Weight kg | Caster Diameter mm | Actuator Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EHB-3F-STD | 2150 × 980 × 450–800 | 2000 × 900 | 250 | 95 | 125 (dual brake) | 24 V DC, 6000 N × 2 |
| EHB-3F-HD | 2200 × 1020 × 400–850 | 2050 × 950 | 300 | 118 | 150 (central lock) | 24 V DC, 8000 N × 2 |
| EHB-3F-BAR | 2100 × 960 × 480–780 | 1950 × 880 | 200 | 82 | 100 (single brake) | 24 V DC, 4500 N × 1 (linkage) |
Critical specification rule: The mattress thickness must not exceed 150 mm to maintain the 30° Trendelenburg clearance required by IEC 60601-2-52. Exceeding this limit forces the foot section to bottom out on the chassis during reverse Trendelenburg, causing actuator stall and premature gear wear.
Usage Scenarios and Buyer Segments
Private-label buyers for regional hospital chains prioritize a 3-year frame warranty and a mattress that passes EN 597-1 cigarette ignition test without a separate fire sock. Distributors serving nursing homes need a bed that can be assembled by two technicians in under 20 minutes using only a 13 mm wrench, because on-site labor costs dominate total cost of ownership. For export containers bound for humid climates, the powder-coat thickness must be ≥80 µm and the caster bearings sealed to IP66, otherwise corrosion claims appear within the first rainy season.
Epoxy Powder Coat (Standard)
- 60–80 µm dry film thickness
- Salt spray resistance 500 h (ASTM B117)
- Suitable for climate-controlled wards
- Touch-up pen included in crate
Electroplated Zinc + Powder Coat (Marine Grade)
- Zinc layer 12 µm + 80 µm powder
- Salt spray resistance 1000 h
- Required for coastal or open-window facilities
- Adds 3 kg per bed, 5% cost premium
Volume Planning and Lead Time
First-article tooling determines the critical path. The frame jig for the welded steel chassis requires 4 weeks for fixture validation before the first production run can be dimensionally inspected. If the buyer requests a custom deck length, the laser-cut blank program adds another 10 days. Standard 90 cm width beds run at 120 units per week on a single shift; doubling output requires a second welding cell and a parallel actuator assembly line, which pushes the MOQ from 50 to 200 units to amortize the changeover.

Packing, Marking and Freight Configuration
Each bed ships as a knockdown kit: frame base, deck sections, actuator assembly, and mattress rolled in a PE sleeve. The wooden crate dimensions are 2150 × 1000 × 650 mm, gross weight 135 kg. Palletization uses a 4-way entry pallet with corner protectors and strapping slots; 2 crates per 20 ft container, 4 per 40 ft HC. Labels include model, serial range, manufacture date, and a QR code linking to the batch test report. For LCL shipments, we add a moisture-barrier bag and desiccant packs because the mattress foam absorbs 3% of its weight in humidity during trans-Pacific voyages.
Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering
- What is the minimum order quantity for a custom paint color? 50 units for standard RAL colors; 100 units for non-stock metallic finishes to justify the spray booth changeover.
- Can the actuator voltage be changed to 110 V AC for North American markets? Yes, we supply a UL-listed 110 V control box with NEMA 5-15 plug; lead time adds 2 weeks for the transformer sub-assembly.
- How many cycles is the mattress foam rated for before ILD drops below 30? The 1.8 lb/ft³ HR foam maintains ≥30 ILD for 30,000 cycles at 120 kg; the 2.2 lb/ft³ grade extends to 50,000 cycles.
- What documentation is provided for CE marking and FDA 510(k) exemption? We supply a Declaration of Conformity to MDR 2017/745, IEC 60601-1 and -2-52 test reports, and a 510(k) exemption letter for Class I hospital beds.
- Are spare actuator motors and control handsets stocked for immediate dispatch? Standard 6000 N and 8000 N motors are kept in regional warehouses (EU, US, SEA) with 48-hour dispatch; custom stroke lengths require 10-day lead time.
- What is the standard warranty claim process for a bent caster fork? Photo of the fork, serial number, and load description submitted via portal; replacement caster set ships within 72 hours at no charge if within warranty period.
