Description
The Lumex FR566DG Clinical Care Recliner adds drop arms to the FR566 clinical platform for lateral transfers, keeping infinite positioning to Trendelenburg and the 350 lb rating. It is the transfer-friendly build of the family.
- Drop arms for lateral transfers
- Infinite positions, Trendelenburg through full recline
- 350 lb capacity
- Foot pedal on either side
- Four Tente swivel casters
Transfers decide whether a clinical recliner helps or hinders, and the FR566DG is built around that moment. Its arms drop away so caregivers can slide a patient laterally from a bed or chair instead of lifting through a stand-pivot the patient may not have. The rest of the chair is pure FR566: infinite positioning with Trendelenburg, either-side foot pedal, pop-out side panels and Tente casters. Ten colors stock at the drop-arm specification. For rehab and recovery units, this is the 566 to standardize on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do drop arms do on a clinical recliner?
The arms lower out of the way for lateral transfers. Patients who cannot stand-pivot can be moved sideways from bed or wheelchair with a board or lift.
Is the capacity the same as the standard FR566G?
Yes, 350 lb. The drop-arm mechanism does not reduce the family rating.
Does it still reach Trendelenburg?
Yes. The drop-arm build keeps the infinite-position mechanism and the either-side foot pedal of the FR566 family.
Which colors stock?
Ten colors, from Blue Ridge and Imperial Blue to Eucalyptus and Ice Blue. One color, Blue Ridge, carries a slightly lower account price than the rest.
Who needs drop arms most?
Rehab, recovery and long-term care patients with limited mobility. Transfer method decides the arm style more than any other factor.
