Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: The mounting system accommodates diverse New Zealand construction methods, from timber framing to concrete block common in commercial buildings. The four Ø10×51mm lag screws provide secure attachment to wood wall studs, while appropriate anchors (not supplied) ensure reliable masonry mounting. The supporting wall structure must adequately support the 180kg rated load, requiring professional assessment in compliance with New Zealand building standards.

Maintenance: The AISI 304 stainless steel construction demands minimal maintenance while delivering exceptional longevity in demanding environments. The smooth finish facilitates rapid cleaning and sanitization protocols essential in healthcare settings. Regular inspection of the hinge mechanism ensures continued smooth operation, while the no-sticking-points design prevents bacterial accumulation and simplifies hygiene compliance.

Care Instructions

• Sanitize stainless steel surfaces after each use with hospital-approved disinfectants
• Clean concave changing surface thoroughly to maintain hygiene standards
• Test hinge mechanism weekly for smooth opening and closing operation
• Inspect adjustable strap system monthly for wear and proper function
• Verify mounting integrity quarterly to ensure continued load capacity
• Refill towel dispenser and sanitary bag holder as needed
• Check snap covers and washers for secure positioning during routine maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the 648mm height dimension work with standard New Zealand ceiling heights in older commercial buildings?
A: The 648mm height accommodates New Zealand's diverse commercial building stock, including heritage structures with lower ceiling clearances. When installed at the recommended 82cm height, the total reach is approximately 1.47 metres, fitting comfortably within standard 2.4-metre commercial ceiling heights common throughout the country. The 103mm closed depth ensures adequate clearance for ceiling-mounted services and lighting typical in retrofitted buildings.

Q: Can the 180kg load capacity handle the dynamic forces from active toddlers during New Zealand summer when children are more energetic?
A: The 180kg capacity provides exceptional safety margins for dynamic loading scenarios, including energetic movements from active children during warmer months. The engineering accounts for impact forces and movement patterns well beyond static weight considerations. The concave surface design and adjustable strap system work together to contain and secure even the most active children, making it ideal for busy summer periods in New Zealand's recreation and tourism facilities.

Q: How do the Ø10×51mm lag screws perform in New Zealand's seismic conditions and building movement?
A: The Ø10×51mm lag screw specification provides robust anchoring suitable for New Zealand's seismic environment when properly installed into appropriate wall studs. The four-point mounting distributes seismic forces effectively, while the high-quality hinge mechanism accommodates minor building movement without compromising operation. However, installation must comply with NZS 1170.5 earthquake loading standards, and professional assessment may be required in high-seismic zones.

Q: Does the 940mm width accommodate the ergonomic requirements for caregivers of different heights common in New Zealand's diverse healthcare workforce?
A: Yes, the 940mm width provides optimal ergonomic positioning for caregivers ranging from 1.5 to 1.9 metres in height, reflecting New Zealand's multicultural healthcare workforce. The generous width allows comfortable access from multiple angles, reducing caregiver strain during extended use periods. Combined with the 82cm installation height, this creates an ergonomic workspace suitable for the diverse population of healthcare professionals across New Zealand's medical facilities.
