Automatic Patient Lateral Transfer Stretcher
No-lift Automatic Patient Transfer Between Hospital Beds, Stretchers and Operating Tables.
YuanPort supplies automatic patient lateral transfer stretchers for hospitals, operating rooms, ICUs, wards, and rehabilitation centers. Our advanced systems help transfer patients between hospital beds, operating tables, and transfer trolleys without manual lifting.
Designed to reduce sliding friction during transfer, this equipment lowers the risk of secondary injuries for patients while significantly reducing the physical workload of nurses and caregivers.

What Is an Automatic Patient Lateral Transfer Stretcher?
An automatic patient lateral transfer stretcher, also known as an electric patient transfer bed, is a specialized hospital device designed to move patients safely between support surfaces.
Unlike traditional manual transfer methods, it uses an electric transfer board and an automatic movement system to complete bed-to-bed patient transfers with minimal manual handling.
This type of medical transfer equipment is especially suitable for:
- Post-surgery patients
- Elderly and frail patients
- ICU patients
- Patients with limited mobility
- Patients who cannot be lifted or dragged during transfer

Core Advantages of Our No-Lift Transfer System
Six reasons hospitals and care facilities are moving away from manual patient handling.
No Manual Lifting
Patients can be transferred smoothly without nurses manually lifting or carrying the body, helping prevent workplace injuries and reducing physical strain during daily patient handling.
Automatic Lateral Transfer
The electric transfer board moves the patient between the bed and the stretcher with the push of a button, making bed-to-bed transfer safer and more efficient.
Reduced Friction & Enhanced Comfort
The transfer action is designed to reduce sliding friction with the patient’s body, creating a smoother and more comfortable transfer experience.
Safer Patient Handling
It minimizes the risk of secondary injuries caused by improper manual lifting, pulling, dragging, or repositioning during patient movement.
Lower Caregiver Workload
The automated transfer process significantly reduces the physical burden on nurses and caregivers, especially in wards, ICUs, and post-surgery recovery areas.
Multi-Position Support
The system supports safer transfers for patients in lying, sitting, and side-lying positions, making it suitable for different hospital care scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a patient transfer stretcher and a normal stretcher?
A normal stretcher is mainly used for patient transport. An automatic patient lateral transfer stretcher is designed not only for transport but also for no-lift bed-to-bed transfers between hospital beds, operating tables, and transfer trolleys.
Is this a medical transfer cart or an electric patient transfer bed?
It may be broadly described as a medical transfer cart, but a more accurate term is automatic electric patient transfer bed. It focuses on safe horizontal patient transfer instead of transporting medical supplies or instruments.
Can the patient be transferred without manual lifting?
Yes. The automatic transfer plate moves the patient horizontally and smoothly from one support surface to another without manual lifting, pulling, or dragging by nurses.
Where can this bed-to-bed transfer system be used?
It is suitable for hospital wards, operating rooms, ICUs, recovery rooms, rehabilitation centers, and elderly care facilities.
