Description
The Drive 13009TRAPBV is a clamp-on bed trapeze bar that gives a person an overhead handle for repositioning in bed. It fits a metal-frame headboard and is rated 250 lbs (113 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a person who can grip the handle and pull themselves up or turn in bed.
- For a bed with a metal-frame headboard that can take the clamp.
- It is not a lift and does not suspend a dependent person; choose a patient lift for a fully assisted move.
Which beds does it fit?
- The clamp mounts to a metal-frame headboard and fits headboards from most major manufacturers.
- Do not assume a wood headboard will take the clamp; check its shape and strength first.
- If the bed has no metal headboard, the clamps also fit trapeze base 13017BV.
How is reach adjusted?
- The two-piece square steel tubing adjusts in height, length and horizontal position.
- Set the handle where the person can reach it while lying down.
- Installation is tool-free. Tighten the clamps before anyone uses the bar.
What is it made of?
- Two-piece square tubing in heavy-gauge steel, with a brown-vein finish.
- The handle is a triangle hung on a chain.
- It can ship by courier.
What are its limits?
- It assists repositioning up to 250 lbs (113 kg). It does not carry the person's full weight.
- The warranty is limited lifetime.
How does it compare?
The Drive free-standing trapeze 13049SV stands on the floor and needs no headboard. The patient lift range is for a person who cannot take part in the move. See all trapezes.
