In the healthcare industry, pushing and pulling heavy loads is a major cause of workplace injuries, accounting for 60% of cases. This puts carers at risk, but Electrodrive works closely with healthcare facilities to improve the safety of workplace and offer mobile solutions that are intelligently designed for various applications. Electrodrive can help prevent injuries to different body parts such as the shoulder, back, neck, arm, forearm/wrist, knee, and hand and fingers, which can reduce carer and facility costs.
Electrodrive wheelchair mover is a great solution to reduce the risk of workplace injuries. It has an ergonomic design that ensures safe and comfortable movement of patient wheelchairs, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, strain, and fatigue for patient service staff. It is particularly useful for workplaces with an ageing workforce. The powered wheelchair mover is easy to hitch with the push of a button and is compatible with a variety of wheelchairs. Its small and compact design makes it ideal for manoeuvring around hospitals, care homes, and in-and-out of lifts.
Using the Electrodrive wheelchair mover improves patient comfort with its smooth ride, and it is much easier to use than manually pushing a patient in a wheelchair. For instance, manually pushing a patient in a wheelchair requires a sustained force of 8 kg, while using our wheelchair mover requires less than 1 kg. This difference is even more pronounced when pushing a wheelchair on a slope.
