Washington Tilt-in-Space Shower Cradle: safer and easier assisted bathing
Meet the Washington Tilt-in-Space Shower Cradle, a reliable shower cradle for assisted bathing that keeps users comfortable and helps carers work with less strain. Created for people with significant physical impairments or progressive conditions, it suits care homes, community settings and at-home care. Moreover, it performs well wherever extra postural support and smooth repositioning matter.
The cradle uses tilt-in-space geometry to deliver excellent postural support and pressure management. In practice, the cradle tilts from 5 to 35 degrees, so you can find a safe, comfortable washing position quickly.
Furthermore, the dual gas spring assembly provides hydraulically powered assistance when you raise or tilt the cradle, which reduces the musculoskeletal stress carers often feel during transfers and repeated adjustments.
Why carers love it
A single rear-mounted control handle operates the tilt. In addition, you can fit this handle to the right or left side to suit right-hand or left-hand carers. As a result, carers can operate the cradle with one hand while using the other hand to support the user.
Designed with clinicians and carers in mind
The cradle was developed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists and other healthcare professionals. Their hands-on feedback helped shape the tilt geometry, support contours and accessory layout. Consequently, the cradle improves positioning, makes transfers safer and simplifies routine cleaning.
Built to last in wet environments
The frame uses stainless steel and receives an electrostatic coating for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. In addition, we apply a silver-ion antimicrobial treatment to lower surface porosity and help with hygiene. Castors are corrosion resistant and include locking options, which give stable, reliable manoeuvrability during bathing.
Great for tight wet rooms and restricted spaces
Thanks to a tight turning circle and compact footprint, the Washington manoeuvres confidently in restricted wet-floor areas. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for small bathrooms, care suites and domestic wet rooms where space matters.
Comfort, hygiene and user support
The quick-drain mesh seat feels comfortable and dries fast. In addition, you can remove it easily for cleaning. The handles come with Dartex covers to provide extra comfort and support, while the removable seat and antimicrobial finish make upkeep straightforward.
For everyday use the cradle comes with adjustable leg supports to meet the user’s needs. The mesh seat does not include an aperture as standard. However, you can add an aperture as an optional accessory if you need discreet access for personal hygiene or commode tasks.
Sizes, capacity and technical highlights
The Washington Tilt in space shower cradle will be available in Medium and Large sizes. Each size supports a maximum safe working load of 130 kg (approx. 20.5 stone / 287 lb). Key features include the dual gas spring assembly, single rear-mounted control handle (left or right fit), quick-drain mesh seat and corrosion-resistant, electrostatically coated stainless-steel frame.
