Koval MAXI Shower Trolley
The Koval L1–T1 MAXI 80 Shower Trolley is a heavy-duty mobile showering and hygiene trolley designed for safe, comfortable washing and personal care of users who need to remain lying down.
250 kg Safe Working Load
The Koval Maxi has a Safe Working Load of 250kg/39 stone. This robust capacity makes it suitable for a broad range of users within professional and community care environments.
Safe Working Load refers to the total permitted working load of the equipment and should not automatically be interpreted as an identical maximum patient weight where other equipment, accessories or loading considerations are involved.
The complete care and transfer arrangement should always remain within the specified limits of every component being used.
One-Piece Trolley Top
The continuous platform provides a straightforward lying surface for assisted showering and personal care. This design is particularly useful for users who cannot safely use a conventional shower chair or who need to remain in a lying position throughout their hygiene routine.
Adjustable Trolley-Top Inclination
The T1 configuration provides an adjustable trolley-top inclination of approximately 5° The platform inclines towards the foot section, helping water move towards the drainage point rather than collecting around the user. The inclination is controlled using gas springs, allowing the trolley position to be adjusted as required during care.
Water-Resistant Shower Mattress
The L1–T1 MAXI is supplied with a water-resistant shower mattress. It creates the showering area around the user while providing an appropriate surface for washing and hygiene procedures. The water-resistant construction is intended specifically for wet-care applications.
Flexible Drain Hose
Water is discharged using a flexible drain hose. The hose can extend from approximately 70 cm to 200 cm
This provides useful flexibility when positioning the trolley in relation to a suitable drainage point. Combined with the 5° foot-end inclination, the drainage system helps direct used shower water away from the trolley.
Water-Resistant Head Pillow
A water-resistant head pillow is also supplied. This provides additional support and comfort around the user's head during showering and personal care while remaining suitable for the wet environment.
Choice of Hydraulic or Electric Height Adjustment
The Koval L1–T1 MAXI 80 is available with either:
- Hydraulic height adjustment: The hydraulic version allows the working height to be raised or lowered without relying on an electrically powered lifting system.
- Electric height adjustment: The electric version provides powered height adjustment, reducing the physical effort required to alter the working height. This can be particularly useful where frequent height changes are required during daily care routines.
Supporting Carer Ergonomics
Height adjustment is an important feature on a shower trolley because carers may spend significant periods leaning over the user during washing, drying, dressing and other care procedures.
Being able to raise the platform can help establish a more appropriate working height. The trolley can then be lowered where required for other care procedures or transfers.
The appropriate working position and transfer technique should always be determined through the organisation's moving-and-handling procedures.

FAQs
FAQs
Hydraulic or Electric – Which Version Should I Choose?
Both configurations provide height adjustment and retain the core features of the L1–T1 MAXI 80.
Hydraulic
The hydraulic configuration may be suitable where:
- Powered height adjustment is not essential
- A mechanically operated lifting system is preferred
- The environment wants to minimise reliance on electrical operation
Electric
The electric configuration may be preferable where:
- The trolley is used frequently
- Height is regularly changed
- Reducing physical effort for carers is a priority
- Powered adjustment better suits the care environment
The choice should be based on frequency of use, moving-and-handling requirements and the intended care environment.
Why Choose the Koval L1–T1 MAXI 80?
- The Koval L1–T1 MAXI combines a generous showering surface with a robust 250 kg Safe Working Load, making it a practical solution where a wider professional shower trolley is required.
- The ability to select hydraulic or electric height adjustment allows the equipment to be configured around the demands of the care setting.
- Its adjustable working height can help carers achieve a more appropriate position during personal care, while the 5° foot-end inclination and flexible drainage hose provide a straightforward method of managing shower water.
- For manoeuvrability, the trolley combines a central braking system with directional steering, and the choice of 150 mm or 200 mm castors allows the working-height range to be further matched to the environment.
- Safety-release side rails, a water-resistant shower mattress and head pillow complete a system designed specifically for assisted showering and hygiene care.
