Jiadun Medical MOBILE DINING TABLE

Product Code: HFAF-WF-3078

People grab it. It rolls, or it tips.

An overbed table is a cantilever on castors. The surface reaches beyond the base, and the object stands exactly where somebody getting out of bed will put a hand for support. No load rating is published, and no model code either.

The top of this table reaches further than its base does, and Jiadun Medical publishes neither dimension. No model code, no parameters and no configuration list accompany the product — only a name and a photograph showing a moulded top, a telescopic column with an adjustment collar, an H-shaped base and castors.

That geometry is the specification. A surface overhanging its base turns weight at the far edge into a turning moment, resisted only by the mass of the base and how far it reaches back. Both are unpublished. And because the same object sits on castors, a hand pressed on it may roll it away instead — the two failure modes are alternatives rather than a choice between them.

What makes this more than a furniture question is where the thing lives. It stands beside a bed, at roughly the height somebody pushes up from, in the path of anyone getting out. It is the most reachable object in the room and among the least suited to being leant on. Ask for the load rating at the centre and at the far edge separately, for tip-test evidence, and for whether the castors lock.

Ask the height range, the force needed to adjust it, whether the column can slip under load, and what the base weighs, since mass is what resists an overturning moment. Then write into the care plan that it is not a mobility aid. Medigear.uk lists the Mobile Dining Table for UK business buyers. Request the load ratings from the seller before order.

Falls prevention teams should treat the position of this table as a decision rather than a convenience. It stands within arm's reach of somebody in bed, at roughly the height they push up from, and on castors — which is precisely the combination that turns a reach for support into a fall.

Care planning should record that it is not a mobility aid, and record what is provided instead. A resident who needs something to push up from needs a grab rail, a bed lever or a frame, rated for the purpose. Saying so in writing is how the table stops being used as a substitute.

Ward and home environments both need the height range checked against the beds in use. A table that will not clear the bed frame at its lowest setting, or reach a seated person at its highest, is a table nobody uses.

Equipment services should add the column clamp to the inspection schedule rather than classing the item as furniture. Procurement routes across NHS trusts, local authority equipment services and independent providers each ask for their own evidence. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

A surface that reaches over the bed

The cantilever geometry is the point of the product: the base passes under the bed while the top reaches across it, which puts a meal, a drink or a book within reach of somebody who cannot leave the bed.

Height adjustment on a single column

One column and one adjustment means the top can be set for a person lying, sitting up or sitting out, without tools. Confirm the range, the mechanism and the force required.

A moulded top that wipes down

A one-piece moulded surface with no fasteners on the face cleans in a single pass, which suits an item handling food several times a day. Confirm the agents it tolerates and include the column and base in the routine.

Castors for repositioning

Wheels let the table be moved clear for care, cleaning or a visitor's chair without lifting. Confirm whether they brake and how they behave on the floor surfaces in use.

A recess in the top

Photography shows a shallow recess of the kind used to hold a cup or stop items sliding. Confirm its purpose and dimensions, and whether the top is lipped elsewhere.

No electrical content

The table has no powered parts, so it never enters the portable appliance testing programme and carries no WEEE obligation. Its maintenance profile is mechanical and visible.

Inspection without dismantling

Top, column, adjustment collar, base and castors are all visible and reachable by hand, so a competent person can assess condition at the bedside.

Two figures make it specifiable

A load rating at the far edge and a base footprint would together settle the stability question. Both are a single request.

Cantilever geometry

The top overhangs the base, so weight at the far edge acts through a lever arm. Neither the overhang nor the base reach is published.

Load rating

Not stated. Request the maximum load at the centre of the top and at the far edge separately — the two figures differ.

Tipping

Not addressed. Request tip-test evidence, the base mass, and the force at the far edge that would overturn the table.

Rolling

The same object is on castors, so a lateral push moves it rather than tipping it. Both failure modes apply to a hand reaching out for support.

Castor brakes

Not stated. Ask whether brakes are fitted, how many castors carry them, and how they behave on the floor surfaces in use.

Position in the room

Away from the transfer side and the standing route. Agree it, communicate it, and check it has not migrated.

Not a mobility aid

A wheeled table with an overhanging top is unsuitable for weight-bearing. Record in the care plan what is provided for support instead.

Height range

Not stated. Request minimum and maximum top heights from the floor, checked against the beds it will serve.

Adjustment mechanism and force

Not stated. Ask whether it is gas-assisted or friction-clamped, and how much force adjustment takes.

Column slip under load

Not addressed. Ask what holds the height setting, what it is rated to hold, and whether the clamp needs periodic checking. Add it to the inspection schedule.

Top material and finish

Not stated. Request the material, the finish, and the cleaning agents and contact times it tolerates.

Cleaning the joints

Not addressed. The column joint, adjustment collar, base weldments and castor housings are where soil collects — write them into the schedule explicitly.

Base footprint

Not given. Request the plan dimensions, and the clearance the base needs beneath a bed.

Mass

Not given. Request it — base mass is what resists tipping.

Model code

None published. Request the manufacturer's model reference and put it on the order acknowledgement.

Spares

Not addressed. Request part numbers for castors, the adjustment mechanism and the top.

The Mobile Dining Table is a cantilever on castors, and both halves of that description matter. The top reaches beyond the base because that is how it gets over a bed — which means weight at the outer edge acts through a lever arm that the base has to resist by mass alone, and neither the reach nor the mass is published. Meanwhile the wheels mean a sideways push moves it rather than tipping it. A person reaching out for support does both at once, and this is the object they will reach for, because it stands within arm's length of the bed at about the height a hand goes down. That is why the position of an overbed table belongs in a care plan rather than in a cleaner's judgement, and why it should be recorded explicitly as not a mobility aid with something rated provided instead. Ask for the load rating at the centre and at the far edge, tip-test evidence, the base footprint and mass, whether the castors lock, the height range, and what holds the column under load. Ask for a model code too, since none is published. Medigear.uk lists the Mobile Dining Table for UK business buyers. Request the load ratings from the seller at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Because of what people put on it and lean on it with. A tray, a jug, a laptop and a pair of elbows is a different load from a meal, and somebody steadying themselves adds a substantial fraction of their body weight through one hand. A rating tells you which of those the product was built for. Ask for it at the centre of the top and at the far edge separately, since the two are not the same number.

The usable surface sits beyond the base. That is deliberate — it is how the top reaches over a bed while the base passes underneath — but it means weight at the outer edge acts through a lever arm. The base resists that by its own mass and by how far it extends in the opposite direction. Neither figure is published, so the margin between normal use and tipping cannot be estimated from anything on the sheet.

Either, depending on the direction of the push and whether the castors are free. A downward press at the far edge tends to tip; a push across tends to roll. A person reaching out for support usually does both at once. That combination is why an overbed table is a recognised hazard around beds rather than simply a convenience, and why its position in a room is a care decision rather than a tidiness one.

Not stated. Photography shows castors at the base ends without visible brake levers, though the image may not show them. Ask whether brakes are fitted, how many castors carry them, and whether they hold on the floor surfaces the setting actually has — a brake that grips vinyl may slide on a rug. If no brakes are fitted, that changes where the table can be left.

Away from the side a person transfers from, and away from the route they take when standing. That sounds obvious and is routinely got wrong, because the table is most useful exactly where it is most hazardous — within arm's reach of somebody in bed. Agree the position, tell whoever makes the bed and whoever cleans the room, and check it has not migrated.

No, and that should be explicit rather than assumed. It is a table on wheels with an overhanging top: the two things that make it useful make it unsuitable for weight-bearing. If somebody needs something to push up from, that is a grab rail, a bed lever or a frame — items designed and rated for the purpose. Record in the care plan that the table is not a mobility aid.

Not stated. Request the minimum and maximum top heights from the floor, since the table needs to clear the bed at its lowest and reach a seated person at its highest. Ask also whether adjustment is gas-assisted or friction-clamped, and how much force it takes — a mechanism a resident cannot operate becomes a mechanism a carer has to attend to every mealtime.

Worth asking directly, because a friction clamp that slips drops a laden top onto somebody's lap or hands. Ask what holds the height setting, what load it is rated to hold, what happens if it is overloaded, and whether the clamp needs periodic checking. Add the column to the equipment inspection schedule rather than assuming it is furniture.

Photography shows a shallow recess near one end, of a kind usually intended to hold a cup or to stop items sliding. Nothing states its purpose or dimensions. Ask what it is designed to take, and whether the top has a raised lip anywhere else, since a plain flat top and a lipped top behave very differently when the surface is tilted or knocked.

Ask for the method rather than assuming. A moulded top wipes down easily, which is the easy part; the column joint, the adjustment collar, the base weldments and the castor housings are where soil collects and where a wipe-down routine tends to stop. Request the agents and contact times the finish tolerates, and write those areas into the cleaning schedule explicitly.

Yes, for ordering and for records. Without a code a purchase order describes a category rather than a product, an asset register entry cannot be matched to a specific item, and a spares enquiry has nothing to quote. Ask the seller for the manufacturer's model reference and put it on the order acknowledgement before anything is bought.

Any setting where somebody is likely to use it for support and no alternative is provided, until the load and stability figures are known. It is also unsuitable where castors cannot be locked and the floor slopes or is uneven, and where the height range has not been checked against the beds it will serve. A table that cannot clear the bed frame is a table that lives in the corridor.
