Key Features
Durable Tabletop: The tabletop is typically made of a high-pressure laminate finish, which is resistant to scratches, spills, and heat. It features a T-molded vinyl edge to protect the tabletop from chipping and to contain minor spills.
Sturdy Construction: The table features a heavy-gauge, tubular steel column and a base with a durable chrome or powder-coated finish, ensuring stability and a long service life.
"H" Style Base: The HC100 is designed with an "H" style base, which provides excellent stability and allows it to be easily positioned around and under beds, wheelchairs, and geri-chairs.
Easy Height Adjustment: It utilizes a spring-assisted lift mechanism that allows the user or caregiver to raise or lower the tabletop with minimal effort. The height is infinitely adjustable within its range, typically from around 28 inches to 45 inches.
Smooth Mobility: The base is equipped with twin-wheel swivel casters (usually 1.5" or 2" in diameter) that allow the table to be moved smoothly across various floor surfaces. At least two of the casters are typically locking casters to secure the table in place during use.
Weight Capacity: It is designed to support a distributed weight of approximately 25 to 30 pounds, making it suitable for meals, laptops, books, and medical items.
Easy Assembly: The table is designed for straightforward assembly with basic tools.
