How Opera® profiling beds are delivered
Opera® profiling beds split up into four parts and are put on to transportation brackets for storage and shipping.
In this transportation mode, Opera® beds are in a compact form that allows them to be economically shipped and easily transported through doorways and tight spaces. The bed is covered in a cardboard sleeve for protection and the castors are left unpackaged to ensure the bed can be wheeled around easily. The picture below shows an Opera® profiling bed in transportation mode, this is how they are delivered.
If the bed is delivered by courier service for you to assemble yourself, it will arrive on a pallet with a separate side rail box and a mattress (if specified with the bed). If you have chosen to have the bed installed by Opera® engineers, they will deliver the bed to the home, bring it into the property, and assemble it in your chosen space.
Installation options
There are two ways you can choose to have an Opera® profiling bed installed:
Installed by Opera® engineers
Opera have a UK-wide network of engineers that are trained to install and service Opera® products. A bed installation in a care home or private home by engineers takes no longer than 30-45 minutes. The engineers will bring the bed into the property, assemble it, show the user how to operate it and take away all packaging.
Having an Opera® bed installed by trained engineers gives complete peace-of-mind as they take full responsibility for the construction and commissioning of the bed. For buyers who have little familiarity with profiling beds, having an experienced engineer demonstrate the bed functions is invaluable.
Install the bed yourself
Opera® profiling beds are designed to facilitate self-assembly. If you're considering installing the bed yourself follow our step by step guide.
