BCE2-RT01-28

General inpatient wards requiring electrically driven back-and-knee positioning without height adjustment benefit from the Grace Medy BCE2-RT01-28 two-function electric hospital bed, whose fixed 500 mm platform simplifies the drive architecture and reduces height-motor maintenance overhead. The gear guardrail provides positive, indexed locking to support fall prevention governance. The compact 960 mm frame allows easier transit through tighter corridors. Medigear.uk supports NHS procurement teams throughout the specification and approval process.

High-dependency and rehabilitation units benefit from the BCE2-RT01-28's independent dual-motor control, allowing staff to adjust the backrest to 75° while independently controlling the knee section up to 45°. The back-and-leg lift-together mode enables coordinated compound positioning in a single action during busy clinical periods. The fixed 500 mm platform is a practical working height for most bedside nursing procedures. Medigear.uk can supply motor specifications for HDU environment compatibility assessments.

Rehabilitation settings benefit from the BCE2-RT01-28's motorised back and knee control across a patient's recovery arc. The back range of 0° to 75° supports supine rest to near-upright sitting, and the knee range of 0° to 45° supports lower-limb elevation and gait preparation. For settings where height adjustment is managed by protocol rather than bed mechanism, the two-function specification is a cost-efficient choice. Medigear.uk can provide specification packs for rehabilitation procurement teams.

Home care and post-discharge settings benefit from a two-function electric hospital bed that a trained family carer can operate via the handheld remote without adjusting the height. The fixed 500 mm platform eliminates one variable from carer training, making back and knee positioning the sole focus of remote operation. Medigear.uk offers individual buyer consultation and delivery coordination for families arranging home hospital provision ahead of discharge.

Two-Motor Simplicity Without Sacrificing Clinical Positioning Range

The BCE2-RT01-28 delivers the full range of back and knee positioning — 0° to 75° back elevation and 0° to 45° knee flexion — through a two-motor drive system that eliminates the height motor complexity of three-function models. For clinical settings where platform height adjustment is not a primary requirement, the two-motor architecture reduces the unit's total cost, lowers motor servicing overhead, and simplifies the drive system without compromising the positioning functions most frequently used. Medigear.uk can provide model comparisons for procurement teams assessing two-function versus three-function specification requirements.

Gear Guardrail for Positive, Indexed Rail Locking

The gear guardrail on the BCE2-RT01-28 engages positively at defined mechanical positions via a gear mechanism, providing audible and tactile confirmation that the rail is securely locked at each position, with no slippage under lateral patient load. This indexed locking behaviour is a clinically meaningful safety advantage over friction-based or spring-loaded guardrail systems, particularly in settings where rail stability under patient movement is a governance requirement. For ward managers and procurement officers reviewing guardrail safety specifications, the gear mechanism provides a verifiable and repeatable locking standard. Full guardrail specifications are available through Medigear.uk.

Double-Sided Casters for Enhanced Rolling Stability

The BCE2-RT01-28 is fitted with four five-inch double-sided castors, which present wheels on both sides of the castor body and provide a wider, more stable floor-contact profile than single-sided alternatives. In clinical environments where beds are moved frequently between departments or across uneven floor surfaces, the double-sided castor geometry improves rolling stability under load. It distributes weight across a larger bearing area, reducing castor wear over time. For procurement officers assessing the total cost of ownership, the double-sided specification offers a longer service interval between castor replacements. Confirm brake configuration and load rating with Medigear.uk.

Fixed 500 mm Platform for Simplified Installation and Maintenance

The BCE2-RT01-28's fixed 500 mm platform height removes the height motor, associated drive mechanism, and electrical compliance requirements of a three-function model, simplifying installation, reducing the number of serviceable components, and lowering the long-term maintenance overhead for institutional buyers. In ward environments where beds are set to a fixed clinical height by protocol, the fixed-height specification is a practical and cost-efficient choice. NHS procurement officers can use the simplified drive system as a factor in total-cost-of-ownership calculations when comparing two-function and three-function electric bed specifications. Medigear.uk procurement advisors can support this analysis on request.

CE Certification for NHS and Regulatory Compliance

The BCE2-RT01-28 carries CE marking under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, satisfying the baseline requirement for NHS supply frameworks, CQC-regulated care settings, and OJEU tendering. Medigear.uk holds the complete declaration of conformity and technical file, available to procurement officers and clinical governance reviewers on request. For distributors building verified-supplier-accredited catalogues, the CE certification supports straightforward compliance with product listing requirements across NHS and private-sector supply channels.

Three Lift Modes From a Two-Motor Platform

Despite operating only two motors, the BCE2-RT01-28 supports three distinct lift configurations — back lift, leg lift, and back-and-leg lift — giving clinical staff a versatile range of positioning options from a single remote controller. The back-and-leg lift-together mode enables coordinated compound positioning adjustments with a single control action, which is particularly useful in rehabilitation and post-surgical settings where simultaneous axis adjustment is clinically indicated. For buyers comparing two-function and three-function models, the three lift mode capability means the two-function specification does not restrict positional versatility for the functions it does control. Medigear.uk can provide full lift configuration documentation.

Compact 960 mm Frame for Space-Constrained Clinical Environments

The BCE2-RT01-28 has an overall frame width of 960 mm, narrower than the standard 1040 mm hospital bed profile, making it easier to manoeuvre through tighter ward corridors, rehabilitation room doorways, and domestic entrance widths. The compact frame width allows clinical staff to navigate the bed through constrained clinical spaces without the access difficulties of full-width beds, while still delivering two-function electric positioning capability. For home care purchasers, the narrower profile supports placement in standard domestic bedrooms where full-width hospital beds would restrict movement. Medigear.uk can provide dimensioned drawings for bay and room fit planning.

Distributor and OEM Flexibility for Two-Function Product Tiers

The BCE2-RT01-28 is available through Medigear.uk for bulk distributor and OEM supply arrangements, with optional configurations including IV stand holes and drainage bag hooks. Distributors building tiered electric bed product catalogues can position the BCE2-RT01-28 as a cost-efficient two-function option alongside three-function models for buyers who do not require height adjustment. The compact frame and simplified drive system also make this model particularly suited to the care home and home care supply channels, where a lightweight, lower-cost electric bed is preferred. Medigear.uk can discuss volume terms and configuration options with distributor teams.

Hand-Held Remote Controller for Simple Dual-Motor Operation

The BCE2-RT01-28 is supplied with a hand-held remote controller that provides direct access to all three lift modes — back lift, leg lift, and back-and-leg lift — through clearly labelled inputs. The simplified two-function control interface reduces the training burden for nursing staff, care home workers, and family carers compared with three-function remote systems that include an additional height axis. For home care buyers, the straightforward remote layout makes day-to-day adjustments to back and knee positioning accessible without clinical supervision. Confirm whether child-lock is available for this model with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Fixed Platform Height: 500 mm

The BCE2-RT01-28 operates at a fixed platform height of 500 mm, which is a standard clinical working height suitable for most patient transfers and nursing procedures. The absence of a height motor simplifies the drive system, reduces the number of serviceable components, and lowers the total cost of ownership compared with three-function alternatives.

Backrest Adjustment: 0° to 75°

The back section adjusts from a fully flat 0° to a maximum of 75° through a dedicated motor, covering supine positioning through high-Fowler's for respiratory management, assisted feeding, and post-surgical recovery. The 75° maximum provides the full clinical back elevation range required for most inpatient and rehabilitation care protocols.

Knee Section Adjustment: 0° to 45°

The knee section adjusts from 0° to 45° through an independent motor, enabling lower-limb elevation, flexion support during lower-body assessment, and comfort positioning for patients on extended bed rest. Independent knee adjustment supports orthopaedic recovery, pressure area management, and lower-limb oedema protocols.

Two-Motor Drive System: Independent Back and Knee Control

Two independent motors drive the back and knee axes, respectively, allowing each axis to be adjusted without disturbing the other positional parameter. This motor independence supports precise positioning and enables repeatable protocol setups across clinical shifts and between different staff members.

Three Lift Modes: Back, Leg, Back and Leg Together

The BCE2-RT01-28 supports three motorised lift configurations from the hand-held remote: back lift only, leg lift only, and back and leg lift together. The back-and-leg lift-together mode enables coordinated compound positioning with a single control action, covering the most commonly used compound positioning scenario in clinical and home care settings.

Gear Guardrail System

The gear guardrail engages at defined mechanical positions through a positive gear mechanism, providing an audible and tactile confirmation of secure rail locking at each position. Unlike friction-based rail systems, the gear mechanism prevents lateral slippage under patient load. Full guardrail specification is available from Medigear.uk.

Double-Sided Casters: Five-Inch, Four Fitted

Four five-inch double-sided castors are fitted as standard, providing a wider floor-contact profile and greater rolling stability under load compared with single-sided alternatives. The double-sided specification supports smoother inter-department bed transit and longer castor service intervals. Confirm brake configuration and load rating with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Hand-Held Remote Controller

The hand-held remote controller provides dedicated inputs for each of the three lift modes and is supplied with the BCE2-RT01-28 as standard. The simplified two-function control interface reduces operator training time compared with three-function remote systems. Confirm whether child-lock is available for this model with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Head and Foot Boards: Matched Set Supplied

Head and foot boards are supplied as a matched set, defining the bed's overall profile and contributing to patient containment and ward aesthetics. Confirm material specification and colour options with the Medigear.uk procurement team before placing a bulk or OEM order.

Mattress Platform Dimensions

Mattress platform dimensions and compatible depth range should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team before ordering. The 960 mm overall frame width is narrower than the standard 1040 mm profile, and mattress width compatibility should be verified against the actual platform width. Using a mattress outside the confirmed dimensions may affect the effectiveness of guardrail containment.

Overall Frame Width: 960 mm

The overall frame width of 960 mm is narrower than the standard 1040 mm hospital bed profile, improving manoeuvrability through tighter ward corridors, rehabilitation room doorways, and domestic entrance widths. Procurement teams undertaking bay fit assessments should verify local clearances against the 960 mm frame width. Medigear.uk can provide dimensioned drawings for facility planning on request.

Frame Material: High-Grade Powder-Coated Steel

The load-bearing frame is constructed from high-grade steel with a powder-coated surface finish that is resistant to repeated cleaning with standard hospital-grade disinfectant agents. Chemical compatibility information is available from Medigear.uk for infection control assessments.

Optional Accessories: IV Stand Holes, Drainage Bag Hooks, IV Stand

The BCE2-RT01-28 supports optional configuration with four or two diagonal IV stand holes, two drainage bag hooks, and an IV stand. These accessories are specified at the point of order through Medigear.uk. Procurement teams and distributors should confirm required optional configurations with Medigear.uk during the specification phase.

The Grace Medy BCE2-RT01-28 two-function electric hospital bed delivers a CE-certified, dual-motor positioning platform for general inpatient wards, high-dependency units, rehabilitation settings, and home care environments where electrically driven back and knee control are required and fixed platform height is clinically appropriate. Its gear guardrail system, double-sided casters, three lift modes, and compact 960 mm frame make it a cost-efficient and operationally practical choice for NHS procurement officers, regional distributors building tiered electric bed catalogues, and individual buyers arranging home hospital provision.
