Where a resident has to be showered lying down, a shower trolley keeps the whole task on one surface. This one has a foot operated hydraulic pump for height, so the carer sets a comfortable working height with their foot and keeps both hands on the resident.
The top tilts under pneumatic assistance to drain water away, and a long flexible hose takes it to the floor waste. The liner is heavy duty padded vinyl with a pillow, and a full wrap around bumper with corner buffers protects doorways and tiles.
Side rails drop down for transfers and self lock when raised. Push handles at both ends and a short wheelbase make it manageable in a bathroom that was not designed around it, and one of the castors locks directionally for straight line steering down a corridor.
