Bedside Locker with Wood Top

Construction and Finish

A bedside cabinet is a compact storage unit that sits next to a patient’s bed and keeps personal items and everyday supplies within reach. This cabinet (VM-BLWT) is manufactured from 1mm mild steel sheets, which give the body a rigid structure for daily use in ward environments. The steel is epoxy powder coated, and the one epoxy coated towel rail uses the same finish. The top surface is offered in two options: a Formica wood top or a stainless steel top. Buyers can therefore match the cabinet to the look of a ward or to a facility’s cleaning preferences.

Storage Layout and Configuration

The cabinet has two storage areas. One pull out drawer provides easy access to small items. One cupboard is secured with a single roller catch and contains one shelf, which divides the space into two levels. The cupboard opening is available as left hand or right hand. This lets facilities set the door to swing away from the bed, a wall or a walkway, depending on how the room is arranged. The towel rail gives patients a place to hang a towel or cloth without taking up storage space.

Dimensions, Mobility and Deployment

The cabinet measures L 450 x W 450 x H 755mm and weighs approximately 24kg. It is mounted on four 50mm swivel castors, so staff can move it between bays, bedsides and rooms. Its footprint is small enough for shared wards, frail care units, clinics and recovery areas where floor space is limited. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, this cabinet is a straightforward furniture item for hospitals, frail care facilities, clinics and community health centres that need to equip wards or replace worn bedside storage.
