Vanry B-11

Product Code: HFAF-HB-3787

Its whole running budget is grease, castors and the odd mattress.

What the B-11 costs after purchase is mostly mattresses and castor wear, because two hand cranks do the work of motors. They lift the backrest to 70° and the knee rest to 35°, on a fixed-height 1950 × 900 mm platform rated to 240 kg.

A basket, two cranks and a steel frame make up most of what a buyer maintains on the Vanry B-11, a two-function manual hospital bed. The cranks move the backrest from 0 to 70° (±5°), and the knee rest from 0 to 35° (±5°), and the calf section has its own multi-position setting. Height is fixed at 500 mm (±20 mm). The frame has no height travel, Trendelenburg or lateral tilt, or electrical parts of any kind.

Whole-life cost is where the B-11 makes its case. Over a bed's service life, the purchase price is only the first bill; on a powered bed, later bills include actuators, control boxes, handsets, batteries, and the electrical inspection that keeps them in service. The B-11 has none of those. Its wear list runs to two crank screws, section hinges and four castors, parts an estate's workshop can grease, adjust and replace without specialist tools. The saving is paid for in carer time, since every change of position is a turn of a handle.

Vanry rates this frame at a 240 kg safe working load across its 1950 × 900 mm platform. The photograph shows slotted deck sections, ABS end panels with amber inserts and hand cut-outs, blue corner bumpers, and an aluminium side rail with six posts and yellow latches. A wire basket and four castors on individual legs complete the picture. Vanry's written listing covers dimensions, load, and functions without naming any of those parts, so the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's written configuration at quotation.

The unit measures 2170 × 980 × 500 mm (±20 mm). Medigear.uk offers it to buyers in more than 80 countries, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead time.

The B-11 suits buyers who need to equip many beds on a fixed budget for patients who mainly need to sit up and rest. General and step-down wards, care and nursing homes, rehabilitation units, and community hospitals fit that brief, as do health systems where motor and battery spares arrive slowly. Its argument is whole-life cost. The budget fits a frame a local workshop can keep running for years.

The regulatory picture supports that. Electrically powered beds bring the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 into play, which require electrical systems to be maintained so far as reasonably practicable, and that normally means planned inspection and testing on top of mechanical servicing. A frame with no electrical parts carries only the mechanical side. PUWER 1998 still applies wherever staff use the bed, and HSE guidance places a bed with no height travel outside LOLER.

Clinically, the bed covers the positions most long-stay care uses. A 70° backrest and 35° knee break give a supported sitting position for meals, medicines and visitors, and the calf section adds lower-leg support. The limits are just as clear. Fixed height leaves carers working at 500 mm for washing and dressings, and there is no low position for falls pathways or tilt for repositioning. Those gaps are where a low-cost frame can become a false economy, because carer time and injury risk cost more than motors. Placing the B-11 where patients sit and rest, and a height-adjustable bed where they need nursing, keeps the saving real.

NHS procurement routes, and public purchasing in other markets, ask for the device class and a declaration of conformity. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

A running budget without electronics

No actuators, control boxes, handsets, or batteries means no replacement bills. Across a long service life, the frame's recurring costs stay mechanical.

No electrical inspection cycle

With nothing electrical on the frame, the bed sits outside electrical test schedules. Estate teams maintain it alongside other mechanical equipment.

Repairs a local workshop can handle

Crank screws, hinges and castors can be greased, adjusted or replaced with ordinary tools. That matters most where specialist engineers and imported spares are slow to arrive.

One model, one spares shelf.

Standardising a department on the B-11 means one mattress size, one set of wear parts and one induction for staff. Fleet savings come as much from that sameness as from the purchase price.

Supported sitting on a modest outlay

A 70° backrest with a 35° knee break and adjustable calf section covers eating, resting and receiving visitors, the positions most long-stay patients use every day.

A standard mattress width

The 1950 × 900 mm platform takes a 900 mm hospital mattress so that buyers can draw on existing mattress contracts.

No downtime from flat batteries

A manual frame never waits for a charge or a replacement battery. The bed is ready whenever a carer turns the crank.

Simple turnaround between patients

Smooth ABS panels and a slotted deck wipe down quickly, with no electrical isolation before cleaning.

Two hand cranks

One crank drives the backrest, and one drives the knee rest; each holds its section in whatever position the carer leaves it.

Backrest range of 0–70°

The head section rises from flat to 70° (±5°), from reclining through to a near-upright sitting position.

Knee rest range of 0–35°

The knee section lifts to 35° (±5°), supporting the thighs so the patient stays seated back when the head end is up.

Calf multi-position adjustment

Vanry lists a multi-position setting for the calf section, independent of the knee rest.

Fixed platform height of 500 mm

The platform stays at 500 mm (±20 mm) with no lift mechanism to maintain.

Frame of 2170 × 980 mm

Overall length is 2170 mm and width 980 mm (±20 mm). Those figures set the floor area per bed before clearance.

Platform of 1950 × 900 mm

The lying surface measures 1950 × 900 mm (±20 mm), matching standard hospital mattress widths.

Safe working load of 240 kg

Vanry rates the frame at 240 kg for everything on the platform. The manufacturer's labelling gives the maximum patient weight.

Slotted deck sections

The photographed deck is built from slotted sections that articulate with the backrest and knee rest, allowing air under the mattress.

ABS end panels with amber inserts

The head and foot panels are moulded ABS with amber inserts and hand cut-outs, giving carers a grip when moving the bed.

Blue corner bumpers

Bumpers at each corner of the photographed frame take the knocks from doorways and walls during moves.

Six-post aluminium side rail

The photograph shows an aluminium side rail with six posts and yellow latches. The enquiry team sets out the supplied configuration.

Under-frame basket and four castors

A wire basket sits beneath the frame, and each leg ends in a castor. The manufacturer's configuration specifies castor size and braking.

The B-11 suits buyers by equipping many beds for patients who sit, eat, and rest, keeping every bed in service at the lowest cost. General and step-down wards, care homes, rehabilitation units, and markets with limited access to electrical spares benefit most. It becomes a false economy for patients needing height travel, tilt, frequent repositioning or their own controls, and it does not suit children or small adults without BS EN 50637 rails. Before ordering, confirm the spares list, rail and castor configuration, and mattress. Medigear.uk lists the B-11 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the spares list, declaration of conformity, instructions for use, and packing list from the enquiry team before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Recurring items include planned PUWER checks, lubrication of two crank screws, castor and brake wear, and mattress replacement. There is no battery, actuator, handset or control box to replace, and no electrical inspection to book. The quotation from the enquiry team sets out warranty terms and spare-part prices.

Crank screws, section hinges and castors are the parts that see wear on a manual frame. Establish that the spares list covers each of them before ordering a fleet, since standardising on one model only pays off if replacement parts stay available. The enquiry team shares Vanry's spares list with the quotation.

The platform measures 1950 × 900 mm (±20 mm), which suits a standard 900 mm hospital mattress width. Confirm the depth before ordering, with rails fitted, because MHRA bed-rail guidance links rail height above the mattress to entrapment risk. The permitted mattress range is stated in the instructions for use.

The saving on motors is paid back in carer time. Every raise or lower of the backrest or knee rest needs a carer at a crank, and a patient cannot adjust the bed alone. Wards that reposition dependent patients many times a shift should weigh that time against the lower running costs.

With no motor, battery or cable, it has nothing to test electrically. A fixed platform lift with no load keeps the bed outside LOLER thorough examination. PUWER 1998 still requires the bed to be maintained in a safe condition wherever employees use it.

Vanry gives a safe working load of 240 kg, covering the patient, mattress, bedding and anything else resting on the platform. The maximum patient weight is lower and is stated on the manufacturer's labelling and instructions for use, which the enquiry team shares.

Vanry's photograph shows a six-post aluminium side rail, a wire basket under the frame and four castors. Its written listing covers dimensions, load and functions only. Which of these ship, and in what configuration, is set out on the packing list from the enquiry team.

The B-11 is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, or higher depending on use, as stated on the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares. Vanry claims CE certification for the company and lists ISO 13485:2016 among its certificates, but does not name this model. Great Britain accepts CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements alongside UKCA, and the result of the MHRA's 2026 consultation on indefinite recognition should be checked at order.

Patients who need height travel for transfers, tilt, frequent repositioning or their own controls will cost more in carer time than the bed saves. Falls pathways needing a low platform, loads near 240 kg once the mattress is counted, and children or small adults without BS EN 50637 rails also fall outside it.

It can serve every bed whose patients mainly need to sit up and rest. A single model means one mattress size, one spares list, and one induction, which is where most of the fleet savings come from. Areas with higher-dependency patients usually need a height-adjustable bed alongside it.
