Description
The Drive Delta Ultra Light 1000 Semi Electric Bed motorizes the adjustments used most — raising the head and foot sections — while keeping the bed simple, light and affordable. The universal frame works with Drive bed ends and most other manufacturers' ends, making it an easy foundation for home care.
- Semi-electric: head and foot sections adjust by motor from the hand pendant
- Universal frame accepts Drive and most other manufacturers' bed ends
- Foot section weighs 50% less than previous designs for easier delivery and setup
- 9V battery in the motor lowers the bed up to 9 times in a power failure
- 450 lb capacity including the occupant, on a zinc-coated spring deck
- Available bare, with half or full rails, and with mattress packages — choose your configuration on this page
Motorized Head and Foot Positioning
The Drive Delta Ultra Light 1000 Semi Electric Bed drives the head and foot sections with a self-contained, UL-approved motor that is quiet and removable with the patient still in bed. Overall bed height adjusts through the foot-section transition box, which controls rotation of the high/low shaft. The channel frame and taller headboard give the bed a furniture-like presence at home, and the wood-grain end panels resist breaks and scratches. Labels and color-coded springs guide correct side-rail installation, and the bed has been safety tested by SGS to satisfy applicable FDA entrapment guidelines.

Why Choose the Drive Delta Ultra Light 1000 Semi Electric Bed?
The semi-electric Delta is the value point of the Delta line: the adjustments patients make all day — head and foot — are motorized, while the simpler height mechanism keeps the price down. The universal frame, the patient-in-bed removable motor and the battery backup are all here. With rail and mattress configurations on this page, it is the clean starting point for building the exact setup you need. MedicalEx ships it in two cartons, ready to assemble.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a mattress or rails included?
It depends on the configuration you choose on this page. The base configuration is the bare bed — no rails and no mattress. Other configurations add half or full rails, and mattress options include innerspring, therapeutic support surface, fiber core and Quick-n-Easy. Drive's own package configurations pair full or half rails with the innerspring mattress (15006), full rails with the fiber core mattress (15007), and half rails with the therapeutic support mattress (15019).
Which adjustments are motorized?
The head and foot sections are motor-driven from the hand pendant. Overall bed height adjusts through the foot-section transition box and high/low shaft.
What happens during a power failure?
A 9V battery in the motor lowers the head and foot sections up to nine times, returning the patient to a flat, supine position until power is restored.
Will this frame work with my existing bed ends?
Very likely. The Delta frame is universal — it works with Drive bed ends and most other manufacturers' bed ends, whether old or new.
How much weight can the bed hold?
450 lb maximum, and that figure includes the occupant. Allow for the mattress and any accessories within that total.
Can the bed be made longer?
Yes. The optional 15030EXTKIT extension kit (sold separately) extends the frame from 80 inches to 84 inches.
What does the warranty cover?
Limited Lifetime on welds and the frame, 5 years on the motor and hand control, and 1 year on all other parts and components.
