Retrofittable powered bed-moving kit

The Powered Fifth Wheel (P5W) is a retrofittable solution for converting your manually-pushed hospital beds into powered ones.

Controlled with an ergonomically designed control grip for a natural walking posture, the Powered Fifth Wheel works with your bed’s other four wheels to help you move patients safely and efficiently.

The retractable fifth wheel provides maximum manoeuvrability and can be lifted or lowered at the simple press of a button on the hand control unit. It requires a minimum ground clearance of 200 mm underneath the bed, trolley or stretcher.

Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia.

The Retractable Powered Fifth Wheel kit contains:

  1. A powerful motorised retractable drive-wheel.

  2. A ‘Gzunda’ style two-hand control unit.

  3. A slide-out battery carriage.
