Specifying Wholesale manual 2 function hospital bed Manufacturer for Wholesale and OEM Orders
Cost per unit drops when a second qualified source is locked in.
The manual two‑function platform delivers back‑rest elevation and knee‑break adjustment through a hand‑crank system that eliminates the need for electrical infrastructure, reducing both capital spend and ongoing maintenance.

The frame ships knocked‑down to cut freight volume.
Each unit comprises a cold‑rolled steel tube chassis, powder‑coated head and foot boards, and polypropylene casters with dual‑lock brakes; the crank mechanism is mounted on the foot end for ergonomic access.
How It Performs in Use
Back‑rest lifts to 70° and knee break to 30° within 15 crank turns.
The manual gear ratio is set at 1:12, delivering a torque of 12 Nm at the crank handle; this keeps operator effort below 5 kgf for a 120 kg patient, and the crank shaft is hardened to 55 HRC to resist wear over 10 000 cycles.
Material Options and Their Trade-offs
Steel gauge drives both price and service life.
- 1.2 mm cold‑rolled steel tube – standard grade, 60‑80 µm powder coat, 120 kg rating
- 1.5 mm cold‑rolled steel tube – heavy‑duty grade, 100 µm powder coat, 180 kg rating
- ABS head/foot boards – lower cost, adequate impact resistance
- Polypropylene head/foot boards – higher UV stability, better chemical resistance
Option Comparison by Usage Level
Standard Manual 2‑Function
1.2 mm tube, 60 µm coat, 120 kg capacity, 5‑year warranty.
Heavy‑Duty Manual 2‑Function
1.5 mm tube, 100 µm coat, 180 kg capacity, 7‑year warranty.
Choosing heavy‑duty adds roughly 8 % to unit cost but cuts warranty claims by half in high‑turnover wards.
Quality Control and Batch Consistency
Inspection Callout
Every batch undergoes dimensional check (±2 mm), crank torque verification (12 Nm ±5 %), caster lock cycle test (5 000 cycles), and salt‑spray exposure (96 h) before release.
Statistical process control charts track tube wall thickness and coating adhesion; a drift beyond 3 σ triggers a hold.
Volume Planning and Lead Time
MOQ starts at 50 units for standard configuration.
Tooling for the crank assembly is amortised over the first 200 units; beyond that the per‑unit tooling cost falls below $2. Lead time is 4 weeks for standard, 6 weeks for heavy‑duty after sample approval.
Keeping Repeat Orders Supplied
Safety stock of 10 % covers demand spikes.
- Blanket order agreements lock price for 12 months
- Batch traceability labels enable rapid recall if a coating lot fails
- Sample retention for 24 months supports re‑qualification
