Hillrom LikoStretch 1900 Lift Stretcher
Hillrom · Model LikoStretch 1900 Lift Stretcher
Quick-Release Hook System With the Quick-Release Hook System the lift stretcher can be installed easily without tools. With the included lift stretcher leveler you can easily adjust the lifting so that the patient lies either horizontally or somewhat higher at the head end. Easy to Handle The fact that LikoStretch 1900 lift stretcher weighs only 19 kg (42 lbs) makes it easy to handle for one person. It can also be folded for convenient storage. Lift Sheet You can choose between a full or a 2-piece lift sheet. The 2-piece lift sheet can be especially suitable in connection with, gynecological, as an example, operations as the lower part folded up out of the way. Self-locking Feature The lift sheet is attached to the stretcher by inserting the straps in the self-locking feature, which is closed with light pressure. The lift sheet can be either placed on the bed before patient already lying down.
Key tips
- ·Casters and the wheel-lock brake take the most day-to-day wear - check both every PM, not just on complaint.
- ·A cracked weld or loose frame joint is a safety-critical finding - pull the unit from service until it's repaired.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Brake / wheel-lock failure
HighSymptoms: Won't hold position, rolls when locked.
Root cause: Brake pad wear or linkage failure.
Caster / wheel wear
MediumSymptoms: Hard to push straight, wobbles or drags.
Root cause: Bearing wear or a flat-spotted wheel.
Frame / weld fatigue
HighSymptoms: Visible crack or looseness at a joint.
Root cause: Repeated load cycling.
Upholstery / surface tear
MediumSymptoms: Torn or cracked cover, exposed padding.
Root cause: Cleaning-chemical and UV degradation, routine wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Caster / wheel and brake function check
- ·Frame, weld, and mounting-hardware inspection
- ·Upholstery / surface condition check
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Caster / wheel wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically hard to push straight, wobbles or drags.
- Check the most likely cause first: bearing wear or a flat-spotted wheel.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the caster wheel assembly per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
