Overview
The TR-4000 Atlas is TR Equipment’s purpose-built heavy-capacity bariatric shower trolley, rated to 992 lbs (450 kg). The wide 36 in mattress surface provides adequate support for larger patients while maintaining caregiver access from both sides.
The reinforced frame and 6 in heavy-duty castors are engineered for the demands of high-capacity bariatric care environments. Electric height adjustment and tilt are operated via hand control pendant.
For facilities requiring an even wider mattress surface, the TR-4000-W Atlas Wide offers a 42 in width at the same 992 lbs (450 kg) capacity.
Bariatric Care Planning
Safe bariatric patient hygiene requires equipment rated well above the individual patient’s weight to account for dynamic loads during transfers. The TR-4000 Atlas’s 992 lbs (450 kg) rating provides appropriate safety margin across the full range of bariatric patient weights encountered in clinical practice.
Who Is This For?
- Bariatric care units within acute hospitals
- Long-term care facilities with a defined bariatric patient population
- Any facility replacing standard-capacity trolleys that have become inadequate for their patient mix
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity shower trolley should I specify for a bariatric patient program? The TR-4000 Atlas at 992 lbs (450 kg) is the highest-capacity shower trolley in the TR Equipment range. Safe working load limits for patient handling equipment are set to account for dynamic forces during transfers — a 992 lbs (450 kg) rated trolley provides appropriate safety margin for patients across the full bariatric weight range encountered in clinical settings.
What is the difference between the TR-4000 Atlas and the TR-4200 Atlas Junior? The TR-4200 Atlas Junior has a 595 lbs (270 kg) capacity and a 29 in mattress width — appropriate for moderately bariatric patients and tighter spaces. The TR-4000 Atlas steps up to 992 lbs (450 kg) capacity and 36 in width for the heaviest patients. See the TR-4200 for the mid-range option.
Does a bariatric trolley fit through standard clinical doorways? The TR-4000 Atlas is 36 in wide. Standard clinical corridor widths in US healthcare facilities (typically 72 in or wider) accommodate the trolley, but room entry door widths should be verified during facility planning. The TR-4200 Atlas Junior (29 in) is designed specifically for tighter access.
Is the reinforced frame noticeably heavier to maneuver? The TR-4000 Atlas is heavier than standard-capacity trolleys, and the 6 in castors are sized to match. TR Equipment rates the castors for the full working load of the unit. Facility layouts should account for turning radius in shower room design.
