Bariatric Barella Shower Trolley for Assisted and Comfortable Supported ShoweringBariatric Barella Shower Trolley for Assisted and Comfortable Supported Showering
The Bariatric Barella Shower Trolley has been engineered with exceptional care to support safe, comfortable and highly efficient assisted showering for larger users, providing both carers and individuals with a smooth and secure bathing experience in even the most demanding care settings. Designed with a wide platform top measuring 2020 x 900mm, this robust trolley delivers generous space for hygiene routines, carer access and patient handling, ensuring that every transfer, wash or movement is carried out with confidence and stability. Its enhanced 225kg safe working load allows the trolley to manage a broad range of care needs, offering strength and reassurance for bariatric users without compromising ease of use or manoeuvrability for attendants. As a fully electrically operated unit, the Barella² Heavy Duty model features a rechargeable battery that powers both the height adjustment and the dual-direction platform tilt, enabling carers to position users comfortably and safely at any stage of the hygiene process. With its smooth handset-controlled movements and twin lifting actuators, the trolley transitions effortlessly between height ranges of 550mm to 950mm, and can be placed into Trendelenburg or Anti-Trendelenburg positions up to 12 degrees, aiding drainage, comfort and clinical flexibility during use.
Constructed for long-lasting performance, the entire frame benefits from a special anti-corrosion treatment, making it an excellent choice for facilities that experience high usage, moisture exposure or rigorous cleaning schedules. The base of the mattress is produced from durable ABS plastic, chosen for its hygienic properties and resistance to everyday wear, while all side rails and fasteners are manufactured from stainless steel to provide dependable protection against corrosion, water and cleaning agents. The heavy-duty washable castors, each 150mm in diameter, include inner guards that help reduce build-up of debris while preserving smooth rolling performance. These castors include a central locking system, giving attendants complete control when positioning the trolley, as well as a directional lock for improved steering through corridors or tight spaces. Together, these features allow the trolley to move with ease between rooms, showers and transfer points while maintaining excellent stability and safety.

To further support ease of use, the trolley is equipped with folding safety side rails, which lock securely in place during transport or showering and can be released with one hand when transferring users from beds, hoists or other surfaces. This single-handed operation greatly assists carers, enabling them to maintain close supervision and reduce unnecessary strain during manual handling tasks. When folding the side rails inward, the trolley’s overall width can be reduced from 1000mm down to approximately 870mm, allowing it to pass through standard doorways and narrow spaces without difficulty. The side rails stand at a height of 270mm, providing a reassuring level of containment and safety while users are washed or transported.
Drainage management has also been thoughtfully designed, with the stretcher including a plug and a 1500mm drainage hose that allows water to be directed precisely to a drain point. This long hose provides flexibility in various bathroom layouts and helps reduce splash or spill during use. Additionally, drainage can be assisted by using the tilt function, enabling carers to control water flow smoothly and assist with user comfort after showering. The hygienic hose design further supports infection control protocols, offering a clean and efficient method for managing water run-off.
The trolley’s structure and features combine to create a comfortable, stable and adaptable hygiene platform suitable for hospitals, care homes, specialist bariatric units, rehabilitation centres and assisted living environments.
