How broad a person is matters on Vanry's VM-3, a three-function manual bed, 手动三摇床, of 2145 × 1000 mm with a height of 470/785 mm. Three legible pictograms confirm backrest, leg section and whole-bed height, each wound by crank. No handset or electrical controls are fitted. No specification beyond the sheet has been found, so safe working load, platform size, section angles, crank arrangement and CPR route are unpublished.

The 1000 mm is the overall width, so the platform inside the rails is narrower still. For a person of slim or average build that leaves room to settle; for someone broad in the shoulders or hips, or restless in sleep, it may leave little room to turn without reaching the rails. A narrow bed also brings the rails closer to the patient's limbs. The 2025 international pressure injury guideline suggests 30° side-lying for people at risk, and that position needs width. Confirm the platform size and try it with someone of similar build.

Product photography shows rails of a top bar with vertical posts on both sides, orange latches at the rail ends, a crossed lifting linkage beneath the platform, red and teal handles at the foot-end base, a coiled cable at the head end, boards with a teal triangle motif, grey corner bumpers, a perforated platform and four castors. The rails are raised on both sides in the photograph.

Request the platform width, gaps between rail posts against MHRA guidance, the safe working load and the CPR arrangement before order. With no electrical parts, the bed needs no electrical testing; PUWER applies, not LOLER. Record the fit check in each care plan. Crank drives, rail latches and castors take the most wear. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, familiarisation and service cover.

Domiciliary care, small residential rooms and community settings are where a 1000 mm manual bed fits best. The narrow frame leaves space in a small bedroom for carers to work either side, the cranks need no power, and backrest, leg section and height give the positions most people need.

Fit to the person is what decides whether the bed works. The platform is narrower than the 1000 mm overall width, and its size is not published, so the room a patient has to settle, turn and be positioned is not yet known. People of slim or average build who lie fairly still will usually be comfortable; people who are broad, restless, or need pillows and wedges for positioning may not. A simple fit check, with the person or someone of similar build on the fitted mattress, answers the question before the bed is allocated.

Pressure care depends on space as well. The 2025 international guideline suggests 30° side-lying for people at risk of pressure ulcers, with support behind the back, and that needs enough platform width to keep the hips and shoulders on the mattress. On a narrow bed, confirm the position is achievable before it is written into a care plan.

The vertical-post rails bring openings of their own, and on a narrow platform a person's limbs are closer to them. They need checking against MHRA guidance with the mattress fitted, and the MHRA's 2023 National Patient Safety Alert asks providers to assess rails for each individual. The bed is not bariatric and not a specification for children. Procurement will ask for the legal manufacturer, the standard used, the platform size and rail test data. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

The Whole Side Opens for Care

Each rail lowers on its catch, clearing the side of the bed. Staff reach the patient for washing, dressing and repositioning without working across a barrier.

Protection Back in a Moment

When care is finished, the rail goes back up and secures. Patients assessed as needing rails are protected again straight away.

Smooth Bed Baths and Linen Changes

With the side open, bed baths and linen changes happen with staff standing close to the patient. Each task flows in a single pass around the bed.

Care at a Comfortable Height

The height crank raises the platform to a comfortable working height before care. Staff avoid stooping while the rail is down.

Full Positioning by Hand

Three cranks adjust backrest, knee and height independently. Patients get supported sitting and staff get the height they need.

Works With or Without Power

With no motors or battery, the bed stays fully usable through power cuts. Every position remains available at all times.

Outside Electrical Testing

The bed has no electrical parts, so it sits outside the electrical safety testing programme. Routine checks stay mechanical and simple.

Narrow Frame for Small Rooms

At 1000 mm wide, the bed suits compact bays, side rooms and care home bedrooms. Rooms keep space for staff to work around the bed.

Protected Boards

Corner bumpers guard the head and foot boards during moves. The bed keeps its finish in corridors and doorways.

Vertical-Bar Side Rails

Long side rails of vertical bars run along both sides. They protect patients assessed as needing rails.

Rail Release Catches

A release catch on each rail lets staff lower it for care. The rail is raised and secured again when protection is needed.

Three Hand Cranks

One crank each adjusts the backrest, the knee rest and the platform height. Each function works independently.

Backrest to 70°

The backrest adjusts from 0 to 70° (±5°) by hand crank. It supports sitting for meals, breathing and comfort.

Knee Rest to 35°

The knee rest adjusts from 0 to 35° (±5°) by hand crank. It supports the thighs and helps hold a seated posture.

Height from 470 to 785 mm

The platform height adjusts from 470 to 785 mm (±20 mm) by hand crank. The range covers transfers and a comfortable working height.

Multi-Position Calf Section

The calf section adjusts to several positions. It supports the lower legs in sitting and lying postures.

No Electrical Components

The bed has no motors, cables, control box or battery. It operates entirely by hand.

1000 mm Overall Width

The frame measures 1000 mm wide. It suits compact rooms and narrow doorways.

1950 × 900 mm Platform and 260 kg Safe Working Load

The platform is full adult size and carries 260 kg. The load covers the patient, the mattress and any equipment on the bed.

Corner Bumpers

Bumpers at the corners of the head and foot boards take the knocks during moves. The boards keep their finish.

Perforated Deck and Braked Castors

The deck sections are perforated to let air move beneath the mattress. Braked castors roll freely for moves and lock at the bedside.

The VM-3 is a three-function manual bed on a 1000 mm frame, with hand-cranked backrest, leg section and height and vertical-post rails. Its narrow footprint suits small rooms and domiciliary care, but the platform inside that width is narrower still, and its size is not published, so the bed needs matching to the person. Broad or restless people, and anyone whose care plan needs 30° side-lying with supports, may need more room. Before order, confirm the platform width and length, the safe working load, rail post gaps against MHRA guidance, the crank arrangement, the CPR route, the standard used, the legal manufacturer and whether the model is in production. Then try the bed with someone of similar build. Medigear.uk lists the VM-3 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, familiarisation and service cover. Request the declaration of conformity and instructions for use at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Backrest, leg section and whole-bed height, each adjusted by its own hand crank; the Chinese name, 手动三摇床, means manual triple-crank bed. The three pictograms have legible labels: 背部升降 (backrest), 腿部升降 (leg section) and 整体升降 (whole-bed height). The height runs from 470 to 785 mm, and section angles are not published. Ask for the angles and the reference point of the height range in writing. The narrow frame is the feature that shapes how the bed is allocated.

Not published. The sheet gives 1000 mm as the overall width, which normally includes the rails and frame, so the platform the patient lies on is narrower. That difference decides how much room the patient has and which mattress will fit. Ask the seller for the platform width and length before any allocation or mattress order. The figure should come from the manufacturer, not an estimate.

People of slim or average build who lie fairly still, and settings where a small footprint matters, such as homes and small care rooms. It is less suited to people who are broad in the shoulders or hips, who turn a great deal in their sleep, or who need space for positioning aids and pillows. It is not a bariatric bed. Matching the bed to the person, not the room, is the safer rule. Reviewing the fit when a person's needs change keeps the bed well matched.

That depends on the platform width and the person. The 2025 international guideline on preventing pressure ulcers suggests 30° lateral positioning for people at risk, supported by pillows or wedges behind the back. In that position the hips and shoulders need to stay on the mattress, with space for the support behind them. Try the position with someone of similar build on the fitted mattress before relying on it in a care plan. If the position cannot be achieved, the care plan needs another approach.

Measure the person's widest point, usually the shoulders or hips, and compare it with the platform width once the seller has confirmed it. Then try the bed with someone of similar build, sitting up, lying flat and turned to each side, with the rails raised. If elbows, knees or hands meet the rails in normal positions, the bed is too narrow for that person. Record the check in the care plan.

They create openings between the posts, as well as the usual gaps at the rail ends and beneath the rail. On a narrow platform, a person's arm or leg is closer to the rail, so those openings matter more. MHRA guidance recommends gaps between rail bars of no more than 60 mm, openings within the rail or beside the platform under 120 mm, and the rail top at least 220 mm above the uncompressed mattress. Request the manufacturer's rail test data and check the installed rails with the mattress fitted. Where gaps are too large, rail covers or an alternative to rails may be needed.

Not known until the platform width is confirmed. A mattress that fits the platform closely keeps the gap between mattress and rail small, which matters for entrapment, and a pressure-relieving mattress may be deeper as well, reducing the effective rail height. Confirm the platform size, choose the mattress to match, and recheck the rail height and gaps with it fitted. Mattress retainers, if fitted, help keep it centred.

In many homes, yes. The 1000 mm frame fits smaller bedrooms and leaves space either side for carers, the cranks need no power, and there is nothing to charge or electrically test. The cranks must be wound by carers, so check that family members or visiting staff can operate them safely, and measure doorways and stairs before delivery. A short demonstration at delivery helps family carers use the cranks safely.

The photograph shows red and teal handles at the foot-end base, which may be folded crank handles or pedals, and a coiled cable at the head end. The sheet describes neither. Ask the seller what each is for, where the cranks sit and how they fold, and whether the cable is part of the bed or an accessory. Labelling each crank helps carers choose the right one.

Not published. On a crank bed, winding the backrest down can delay chest compressions, which is why some manual beds have a quick-release for the back section. Ask whether the VM-3 has one; if not, staff need a plan, such as a CPR board, and should practise it. On a narrow bed, check that a CPR board fits the platform. Resuscitation training should cover whichever route the bed has.

Not published. It governs which patients the bed can take, including mattress and accessories. Request the safe working load and maximum patient weight in writing before allocation. On a narrow frame, a heavier person may reach the width limit before the weight limit, so check both. Taller patients may need a bed with a longer platform.

IEC 80601-2-52:2026 is written for medical electrical beds, and a bed with no electrical parts is not medical electrical equipment, so ask which standard the VM-3 has been tested to for mechanical safety, stability and rail dimensions. The manufacturer is Hebei Vanry Medical Devices Co., Ltd of Baoding, which states that importers also sell its products under their own brands. Rail test data is the most useful document to request for this bed. No product page for the VM-3 has been found on the manufacturer's website. Confirm the code, the legal manufacturer on the declaration of conformity, and that the model is in production.
