Less damage along equipment routes
Height based on equipment
We use actual contact points to position protection where impacts occur.
Straight continuous runs
Careful alignment keeps long bump rails level through busy corridors.
Protected bed positions
Local bumpers shield walls where beds are moved or regularly parked.
Take the impact before the finished wall does
Beds and trolleys follow familiar routes, and so do the dents they leave behind. We fit wall and bed bumpers at the contact points where mobile equipment repeatedly reaches the surface. Continuous rails can protect long corridor runs, while localised bumpers suit bed heads or known parking positions. The useful height and projection depend on the equipment present, not on a standard line drawn around every room. We therefore look at wheels, frames and projecting parts before setting out protection in wards, corridors and clinical spaces.
Correct height turns a rail into protection
A bumper installed above or below the impact point is little more than wall decoration. We map the likely contact level, establish secure fixing positions and align each section before fixing. End details, corners and door approaches are considered so equipment cannot slip past the protection at the most vulnerable point. Bumpers can also be coordinated with wall cladding or hygienic sheets, giving you both a washable face and a stronger barrier against repeated contact.
Frequently asked questions
How is the correct bumper height chosen?
We consider the beds, carts or trolleys used in the area and identify which parts are likely to hit the wall. That information guides the bumper height and projection more reliably than a standard position.
Do I need a full-length wall bumper?
It depends on the movement pattern. Continuous rails suit long routes with repeated contact, while local protection may be enough behind beds or beside equipment parking points. We assess the route before discussing coverage.
Can bumpers be fitted with wall cladding?
Yes. We can coordinate the cladding layout, bumper fixing and edge details. Substrate and fixing requirements are checked so the rail is secure and the washable wall surface remains neatly finished.
