Frequently asked questions
What makes a good change table for adults with disabilities?
A good adult change table for disability care provides a safe, hygienic and comfortable surface for the client while giving the carer enough height adjustability and stability to work without strain. The most important features are a robust frame with individually braked castors, a height range of at least 50 to 90cm, a wide upholstered surface, and optional security straps or fold-down sides. ABCO change tables are designed with all of these requirements in mind, with interchangeable tops so the table can be adapted as needs change.
How high should an adult change table be?
An adult change table should adjust to a height that allows the carer to work without bending or reaching. ABCO change tables adjust from 50cm to 90cm, covering a wide range of carer heights and working postures. For facilities where multiple carers use the same table, this adjustable height range is essential for safe manual handling.
How much weight can ABCO change tables hold?
Weight capacity varies by model. Please refer to the individual product pages for confirmed load ratings, or contact the ABCO team directly to discuss the right table for your specific needs.
Are cot sides and ends useful additions for disability change tables?
Yes. ABCO upholstered cot sides and cot ends can be added to change tables to provide additional support and security for clients during care routines. They are particularly useful in facilities that care for clients with higher support needs or who move during transfers.
Do I need patient straps for my changing table?
Strap bar assemblies are available for ABCO change tables and are recommended for clients who require additional security during personal care. Both 100mm and 200mm strap bar options are available. Speak to the ABCO team for guidance on which option suits your clients.
