Three Motors, Fitted Before It Ships
Most homecare beds make you mount the motors. On the Drive Full Electric Low Height Bed, the height-adjustment and head/foot motors come pre-installed on the foot section, an industry-standard three-motor power plant Drive describes as a workhorse. The long-lasting zinc-coated spring deck sits in a channel frame reinforced against twisting and bending, and the heavy-duty bed ends wear molded polyethylene covers with a headboard taller than the footboard. In the roll-at-low-height caster configuration the deck runs from 9.25 to 23 inches; in roll-at-any-height configuration, from 14.81 to 23 inches.

Why Choose the Drive Full Electric Low Height Bed?
Choose it for the setup you do not have to do: the motors are already mounted, the three-motor system is the strongest in Drive's homecare line, and Auto Contour protects skin every time the back rest rises. Add the 9.25-inch low position for fall-risk patients and a crank override instead of a battery to babysit, and this is the low bed for people who want facility-grade mechanics at home. MedicalEx ships it in two cartons.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the motors need to be assembled?
No. The height-adjustment and head/foot motors come pre-installed on the foot section — that is this bed's signature convenience.
Is a mattress or rails included?
The mattress is never included. Rails depend on the option you choose on this page — None ships as the bare bed, or pick Half or Full rails.
What is Auto Contour?
Auto Contour raises the head and foot sections simultaneously, which helps prevent the sliding that causes lower-back and sacral shearing when only the back rest is raised.
What happens during a power failure?
There is no battery to maintain: a top-mounted crank gives manual override of the height and sleep-surface adjustments until power returns.
How much weight can the bed hold?
The patient capacity is 350 lb, and the total capacity is 450 lb — that total includes the occupant, mattress, rails, trapeze and accessories.
How low does the deck go?
To 9.25 inches in the roll-at-low-height caster configuration (14.81 inches minimum in roll-at-any-height configuration), up to 23 inches.
What does the warranty cover?
Limited Lifetime on welds, 5 years on the frame, motor and pendant, and 1 year on all other parts and components.
