Congratulations on choosing a Howard Wright Limited product. Established in the 1950’s, Howard Wright Limited
has built a reputation based on product quality and design innovation. Today our equipment is found in healthcare
institutions worldwide.
1.2 INTENDED USE
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is mainly used in assisting the prevention, treatment and alleviation of disease,
or compensation for an injury or disability. The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is designed to be used by trained
health professionals and lay persons where the Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is located in a home environment.
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is used generally within a hospital ward, nursing home or any other medical
institution as a means of bathing and showering of patients and transporting patients from one area to another for
the purpose of bathing or showering. In the home healthcare environment, the Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is
generally stationary.
The Pacific Shower Bathing Trolley is intended to support one patient up to a weight not exceeding 200kg (including
the mass of water and accessories).
1.3 TECHNICAL SUMMARY
1.3.1 VERSIONS
Two versions of the shower trolley are available.
Standard bogie height and raised bogie height. Raised bogie height provides additional clearance for patient
lifters.
The shower trolley is supplied with electric operation only.
1.3.2 CONSTRUCTION
The shower trolley has a LINAK control box. An onboard removable sealed lead-acid battery provides power to
operate LINAK actuators at 24V DC. Control buttons are located on a handset for adjustment of the tub sides and
patient platform heights.
The shower trolley push handles, buffer rails, castors and bogie are all manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium
or hard wearing plastic to resist rust and chemical attack. Other structural parts of the shower trolley where water
runs off easily are made of powdercoated fabricated steel.
The upholstered tub is a seamless design made from fabric reinforced stretch polyurethane with foam padding for
extra patient comfort. The fabric provides thermal insulation to give warmth at first touch.
Plastics used are PE (PolyEthylene), PP (PolyPropylene), PU (PolyUrethane) Nylon, PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) and
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). Latex rubber is not used.
The waterproof pillow is PFC Vinyl Nitrile Foam (closed cell) with a Polyvinyl coating.
