How to Safely Transport Icare Medical Group Beds

Preparation

Remove Accessories

• Detach any side rails (usually secured with bolts or screws).

• Remove headboards and footboards if installed.

• Take off the mattress and all bedding.

Disconnect Power

• Unplug the bed from the power source.

• Secure cords with cable ties to prevent damage during transit.

Bed Weights (IC333 Range)

Use these weights to plan lifting, transport, and staffing:

• IC333 Long Single: 98 kg

• IC333 King Single: 103 kg

• IC333 Double: 117 kg

• IC333 Queen: 120 kg

• IC333 Split Queen: 173 kg

All IC333 beds require two or more people to lift and move safely.

Moving the Bed

Lift and Turn

• Carefully lift or turn the bed onto its long side.

• Disconnect the handpiece to avoid accidental button presses.

• Important: Due to the weight of IC333 beds, always use two or more people.

Best Lifting Practices:

• Bend your knees, not your back.

• Keep the bed close to your body while lifting.

• Avoid twisting—turn your whole body instead.

• Communicate clearly with your lifting partner.

Protect the Bed

• Wrap the bed in blankets or towels to prevent dust and scratches.

Transport Aids

• Use a trolley, skateboard, or transfer device to move the bed.

• Secure the Bed: Use one or two straps to fasten the bed to the trolley for stability and safety.

Reinstallation

Reverse the Process

• Reattach the handpiece, side rails, headboard, and footboard.

• Plug the bed back into the power source.

Test Functions

• Run through all bed functions to ensure everything works correctly.

Safety Tips

• Always use two or more people for lifting and moving.

• Use proper lifting techniques to prevent injury.

• Secure the bed when using a trolley or similar device.

• Check all connections before powering the bed back on.
