Why do you of all people need castors with an electric locking system?
Due to the demographic change, care facilities and hospitals are facing more and more new challenges. Life expectancy is rising and so is the number of medical examinations. The shortage of skilled workers can quickly lead to stressful moments for the staff. It is easy to lose track of "little things", such as whether the castor is locked or not.
The castor with an electric locking system Linea e-lock helps the staff to get a better overview and to determine with a quick glance at the monitor whether the castor is locked or unlocked.
Which features do castors with an electric locking system from TENTE offer?
Castors with an electric locking system from TENTE are characterised by safety, simplicity of operation, improved ergonomics, and financial benefits.
The safety aspect of castors with an electric locking system is primarily characterised by well visible locking positions. These can be adjusted individually. For example, the locking status can be displayed as a light signal so that caregivers can immediately see whether the castors are locked in position.
The digital control of the castor with an electric locking system makes locking simple and intuitive. A single push of a button is all it takes to lock or release the brake of the castor.
Improved ergonomics can be achieved by the fact that the staff does not have to reach for levers with their feet or even bend down to lock the castors. Locking castors with an electric locking system is accomplished without the risk of injury and without any effort. Since the locking system is equipped with lightweight electric cables, there is no need for bulky and heavy levers on the equipment. This makes the application extremely light and enables the patient bed or equipment to be pushed with ease. In addition, Linea e-lock can be integrated into beds or devices without any limitations. The castor can be adapted and adjusted according to product designers’ wishes.
Financial benefits of castors with an electric locking system are mainly achieved through improved ergonomics, as already mentioned above. After all, if the ergonomics of staff are improved, there will probably occur less sickness-related downtime. In times of demographic change and the shortage of nursing staff, the absence of nursing staff could be a disaster. By improving ergonomics, follow-up costs can be saved considerably.
