Description
The Lumex Free-Standing Bariatric Trapeze is a floor-standing trapeze rated for 600 lb that needs no bed mounting. It brings rated repositioning help to any bed with floor space beside it.
- Free-standing floor base, no bed mount
- 600 lb capacity
- Works with beds that cannot take a mounted trapeze
- Overhead self-repositioning handle
- Bariatric construction
Mounted trapezes fail one common case: the bed that cannot take the clamp. The 2960B answers with a floor-standing base and a 600 lb rating, so bariatric repositioning does not depend on bed hardware. It stands beside the bed, serves the patient overhead handle, and can move to another room when needs change. McKesson lists it twice at the same cost under Lumex and Gendron names, it is a single GF product and is entered once here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does free-standing mean?
The trapeze stands on the floor on its own base rather than clamping to the bed. It works with beds that cannot take a mounted trapeze and moves between rooms.
What is the capacity?
600 lb. It is the heavy end of the Lumex trapeze range before the 850 lb portable model.
Why are there two catalog rows for it?
McKesson lists the 2960B twice with identical cost, once as a bariatric trapeze and once as a Gendron free-standing trapeze. It is one product, entered once here at that cost.
Does it need a special bed?
No bed mounting is the point: the floor base suits beds that cannot carry a clamp-on trapeze. Floor space beside the bed is the requirement.
Who manufactures it?
Graham-Field lists it in the Lumex trapeze range, and the duplicate McKesson row carries the Gendron name. Either way it is a GF Health Products trapeze.
