Description
The Basic American AmeriLux Bed is an ultra-low sleep system that drops to a 4 in deck height for serious fall protection. Fixed decks come in 36 in and 42 in widths, and APS positioning is built into the series.
- Ultra-low deck height of 4 in, rising to 30 in
- Fixed deck widths of 36 in or 42 in
- Safe working load 550 lb, resident capacity 500 lb
- APS advanced positioning included in the series
- Made in the USA in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
The AmeriLux is the fall-management flagship of the Basic American line, built for residents at high risk of bed falls. At its lowest the deck sits 4 in off the floor, so a roll-out becomes a short slide instead of a drop. Height rises to 30 in for care, cleaning and transfers, and the surface length adjusts from 80 in to 84 in. APS positioning brings Trendelenburg and the comfort chair to the staff control. The series is sold as frame only in these configurations, ready to pair with the facility's choice of support surface.
