Sintang's RTL is a bariatric power hi-lo rehabilitation mat table designed around four synchronised lift motors, which Sintang describes as German-brand units. They raise and lower the whole top between 500 and 750 mm (19.5 to 29.5 in) from a foot control. Sintang's datasheet rates weight and lifting capacity at 800 kg, while a US distributor's TheraLift listing gives 1,500 lb (about 680 kg), so 680 kg is the planning figure until the manufacturer's written rating settles it. The top comes in four sizes and is covered in PVC vinyl over a steel base. The RTL has one powered function, height, with no backrest, tilt, side rails or separate sections, and its photographs show it standing on feet with no castors.

Everything about the RTL follows from putting the lift in the table. Four motors raise the platform in steps, so a heavy patient transferred on at 500 mm reaches working height without anyone taking the weight. Because the control sits under the therapist's foot, both hands stay on the patient while the height changes.

Sintang calls the PVC vinyl durable, and the steel base carries all four motors. The written configuration describes an open base, and the datasheet photograph shows clear floor between the legs, yet one of Sintang's lifestyle images labelled RTL shows a lower shelf. That difference matters because an open base is what lets a mobile hoist's legs pass under the platform, so ask the enquiry team for the manufacturer's written configuration.

The unit measures 1830 × 1220, 2130 × 1220, 2130 × 1520 or 2440 × 1830 mm across the top, with a height range of 500–750 mm. Buyers can order it in more than 80 countries through Medigear.uk, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead time information.

Hospital rehabilitation gyms, stroke and neurological units, community rehabilitation centres and outpatient physiotherapy departments with a bariatric caseload are where the RTL earns its place. The wide top carries mat work: rolling, bridging, long sitting, sitting balance at the edge, transfers to and from a wheelchair and sit-to-stand from the side. Sintang also positions it for paediatric recovery training, where a therapist and child share the surface. Bed mobility practice before a discharge home fits the same platform.

Trunk and sitting balance training is where the evidence is firmest. A 2019 meta-analysis found strong evidence that trunk training improves trunk control, sitting and standing balance and mobility after stroke, and a 2022 review found no significant difference between training on stable and unstable surfaces. The name Bobath plinth describes the furniture; it does not define the method. A 2020 systematic review found Bobath therapy inferior to task-specific training for lower limb activities after stroke. The platform serves whichever approach a team uses, and the evidence points towards task-specific practice.

In the UK, the physiotherapists and occupational therapists who use it are registered with the HCPC. Hospital rehabilitation services in England register with the CQC, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own provider regulator. MHRA guidance on managing medical devices covers acceptance checks and planned maintenance for powered equipment like this. NHS procurement routes ask for conformity documentation and a stated safe working load, and equivalent public procurement elsewhere asks the same. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

The table carries the lift.

Raising a heavy patient to treatment height becomes the RTL's job. A transfer at 500 mm and a session at working height turn into two settings on one platform, and the manual handling plan centres on getting the patient onto the top. That step still needs its own method, with slide sheets or a hoist for bariatric patients.

Height changes with both hands free

The foot control lets the therapist change height without letting go, which matters most mid-transfer and during balance work at the edge. Whether the control is corded, and how far its lead runs, is specified by the enquiry team. A corded pedal needs a route that keeps it out of the walkway staff use around the platform.

Four motors working in step

Synchronous motors lift all four corners together, so the platform stays level as it rises and falls. The four motors and their control system also form a single lift, so a fault anywhere stops height adjustment until it is repaired. Service cover for the lift system is worth settling at the order stage.

A low point built for transfers

At 500 mm, the top sits low enough for level transfers from many wheelchairs and for sit-to-stand with feet on the floor, depending on the patient's height. Shorter patients may need a lower surface, and the risk assessment should record that.

Room for therapist and patient together

The wider tops, up to 1830 mm, give a therapist space to kneel or sit beside the patient for mat work, or a carer room to practise a handling technique under supervision. Everyone on the top counts towards the rated load.

One platform across the caseload

Sintang positions the RTL for adult and paediatric recovery training. Its bariatric rating lets one platform serve the full range of patients on a rehabilitation list, within the written rating.

An open base for hoist work

Sintang describes the base as open, a layout that lets a mobile hoist's legs run under the platform for a lift on or off. Lowering the top to 500 mm before a hoisted transfer leaves the hoist plenty of room above the surface.

Four sizes for the room

Four tops, from 1830 × 1220 to 2440 × 1830 mm, let the platform match both the room and the caseload. The largest needs staff space on at least two sides, which settles how far from the walls it can stand.

Feet that keep it planted

The photographs show the RTL on feet with no castors, so the platform cannot roll during a transfer. Moving it between bays becomes an estate's job, and its weight, which the enquiry team sets out, decides how many people and what equipment that move needs.

500–750 mm powered height range

Sintang gives the range as 500–750 mm (19.5–29.5 in), adjusted from the foot control. The enquiry team shares the manufacturer's tolerance at both ends of travel with the quotation.

Four synchronous lift motors

Sintang describes the motors as German-brand synchronous units. The enquiry team provides the make, duty cycle, and control electronics in the technical documentation, and the duty cycle determines how many raise-and-lower runs a busy gym can make back-to-back.

800 kg weight and lifting capacity

On the RTL datasheet, Sintang rates both capacities at 800 kg (1,762 lb). The sheet shows one rating for all four top sizes, so ask whether the largest top carries the same figure in the written rating.

Four table-top sizes

The tops measure 1830 × 1220, 2130 × 1220, 2130 × 1520 and 2440 × 1830 mm, listed in feet as 6 × 4, 7 × 4, 7 × 5 and 8 × 6. Width decides whether a therapist can work on the platform; length decides whether a tall patient lies fully supported.

Foot control

Height is adjusted from a foot control, which Sintang calls convenient. Whether it is a single pedal or a bar reachable from several sides decides where the therapist must stand to use it, and the enquiry team shares the control layout.

Steel base

The base is steel, and the finish and any frame colour options come from the enquiry team's specification. Finish matters in a gym where hoist legs and wheelchair footplates meet the frame every day.

Open-base design

With nothing spanning the floor between the legs, as the datasheet photograph shows, the space under the platform stays clear. Hoist legs pass under it, and floor cleaning reaches the middle of the bay without working around a cross-member.

PVC vinyl upholstery

PVC vinyl covers the top, which Sintang describes as durable. Foam thickness and density are part of the upholstery specification, and they determine how firm the surface feels under a kneeling therapist.

Single flat section

The top is one continuous surface with no joints between sections. Rolling practice and long sitting run across it without a gap or hinge line under the patient.

Rounded corners

Both product photographs show rounded corners on the top. Staff moving around a wide platform meet no sharp corner at hip height.

Power supply

Supply voltage, the plug for the destination country and any standby power come from the manufacturer's specification, which the enquiry team shares. A gym planning several powered platforms should check socket positions before delivery.

Electrical safety references

As medical electrical equipment, the RTL's closest applicable references are BS EN 60601-1 and its EMC collateral, BS EN 60601-1-2. The manufacturer's declaration, shared by the enquiry team, lists the standards actually applied, and electrical safety testing then follows the provider's own policy.

The RTL suits hospitals and community rehabilitation services that treat bariatric patients alongside the rest of their caseload and want the lift to belong to the platform. Teams doing mat work, sitting balance and transfer practice make full use of its wide top and 500 mm low point. It is the wrong choice where patients need sitting up or tilt, where the platform must move between bays, or where hoist access and floor loading cannot be planned. Settle three things before the order: the written safe working load against the heaviest combined load, the clearance under the frame against the hoist in use, and the power supply with its emergency lowering arrangement. Medigear.uk lists the RTL for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the enquiry team for the written rating, clearance figure,e and electrical specification before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Sintang's datasheet gives 800 kg (1,762 lb) for both weight capacity and lifting capacity. Before ordering, determine the heaviest combined load the platform must lift, including the patient, any therapist kneeling alongside, and equipment left on top. A distributor listing of the same table gives a lower figure, which is why the manufacturer's written rating, shared by the enquiry team, is the one to plan against.

In the UK, HSE guidance says height adjustability alone does not make equipment lifting equipment, because LOLER 1998 applies where lifting or lowering is the principal function for a platform whose main job is supporting therapy, which usually leaves PUWER 1998 inspection and maintenance, plus electrical safety testing under the provider's own policy. The duty holder makes the call, and where local policy treats the RTL as lifting equipment, the six-monthly thorough examination for equipment that lifts people follows.

Sintang's written configuration describes an open base, which lets a hoist's legs run under the platform. Confirm the clearance under the frame before ordering, and compare it with the leg height of the hoist you'll use; the enquiry team includes the clearance figure in the quotation. Because one lifestyle image labelled RTL shows a lower shelf, rely on the written configuration over the pictures.

The 1830 × 1220 mm top suits one patient with the therapist working from the side, while the 2440 × 1830 mm top leaves room for a therapist on the platform itself. Allow clear floor space on every side staff will work from, and check the delivery route for a top up to 1830 mm wide. On an upper floor, ask estates to assess floor loading with the table, the patient and the staff together.

The manufacturer's documentation sets out whether the RTL carries a battery backup or a manual lowering method, which the enquiry team shares. Settle the answer before the table goes into service. A bariatric patient left at 750 mm during an outage needs a planned way down.

No. The top is one flat section with a single powered function: height. Sitting a patient up for treatment needs a backrest section, and tilting work needs a tilt facility, neither of which this model has.

The enquiry team sets out the PVC cover's disinfectant tolerance in the quotation. Match it against the products the department already uses, chlorine-releasing agents included where the infection control policy specifies them. At the same time, ask for the upholstery's fire performance, set against the level the room's fire risk assessment requires.

Sintang positions the RTL for adult and paediatric recovery training. The written configuration includes no side rails, and none appear in the photographs, so the department's own risk assessment covers edge protection and supervision for children. Even at the 500 mm low point, a child rolling off the edge falls far enough to need a plan.

The RTL is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002 where the manufacturer places it on the market as a medical device, as stated on the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares. The manufacturer's declaration, and the scope of any certificate behind it, reach the buyer through the enquiry team. Under current UK arrangements, CE-marked devices remain accepted in Great Britain for a transitional period, and UKCA is the alternative route. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's documentation for the country the unit is going to.

Patients who must sit up, tilt or transfer below 500 mm need a backrest, a tilt function or a lower minimum height, none of which this model has. Rooms that move the platform between bays need castors. Therapists who treat standing at a high working height need more than 750 mm of lift.

Yes. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning and familiarisation for the RTL, along with service cover for the lift system. The enquiry team will confirm stock and lead time with the quotation.
