Span America Advantage Bed Trapeze Mounting Frame

The Span America Advantage Bed Trapeze Mounting Frame (manufacturer code Q6733) is the bed side half of a Span patient helper. It is the frame and brackets that bolt to an Advantage bed and hold the trapeze arm. Savaria's own sheet for this bed prints the code in its item table as "Mounting Frame, Trapeze". Westin Healthcare specifies, supplies and services Span beds in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.

Read this first: a trapeze is two codes, not one

Span splits a patient helper into a frame and an arm, and they are ordered separately. This page is the frame. The arm is Q6730, which the 2026 Savaria range lists as the universal trapeze bar for all bed models and the ReadyWide brochure describes as the patient helper, trapeze bar, chain and hand grip.

The reason for the split is worth knowing. The arm is universal across the Span range, so it is the same part whatever bed you have. The frame is not: Savaria supplies a different mounting frame for each bed platform, because each frame is different.

If you order only the frame, nothing hangs over the bed. If you order only the arm, there is nothing to put it in. If you order the wrong frame, it does not fit. Tell us the bed model and we will quote both lines together.

Which beds this fits

This code is for the Span Advantage Q-Series, the QD1000 and QD1000Y builds. A Span Encore or an Advantage ReadyWide takes Q6731 instead, and a Span Rexx takes Q6732.

The bed label identifies the platform. One quick tell in the room: the Advantage QD1000 has no SmartStop, and its sleep surface is a fixed 35 inches unless an expander kit is fitted. If you cannot find the label, call (905) 451-7743 with the model and serial number and we will identify it before anything is ordered.

What the patient helper does

Span's own description of the assembled helper is the clearest one: the optional patient helper consists of brackets mounted to the bed frame, carrying the trapeze frame, in which the trapeze arm is placed. The arm locates in five positions with a locking spring pin.

• Two side positions, for help getting into and out of the bed
• One in-bed position, for help with repositioning
• Two storage positions, for when the helper is in the way of care or of a transfer

Moving between them is deliberately simple: pull the spring pin up, rotate the pole, let the spring pin drop into the hole you want. The chain attaches with a quick link, so the height and the position of the hand grip can be adjusted to the person rather than to the bed.

What that buys, in practice, is independence. A resident who can pull themselves up to sit is a resident who is not waiting for two staff to arrive. On a bed like the Advantage, which already goes down to 7-7/8 inches for fall safety and up to 30 inches for caregiver ergonomics, the trapeze is the piece that lets the resident do their share of the work.

The safety check that matters

Span prints one warning about this assembly and it is worth repeating in full: ensure that the spring loaded pull pin is properly engaged to prevent the patient helper pole from rotating, because failure to do so could result in serious injury. A pole that rotates under load is a fall. Whoever repositions the arm checks the pin, every time, and Span adds that all instructions provided with the patient helper must be followed.

Span does not publish a weight limit for the trapeze itself, the height of the frame above the deck, the piece count or the installed weight, and we will not invent them. What Span does state is that the bed's 500 lb (227 kg) safe working load already includes the patient, the head and foot panels, the mattress, the side rails and accessories. If a resident's weight is close to that figure, call (905) 451-7743 before you order and we will get the trapeze figure from Savaria in writing.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

Westin Healthcare's own team delivers and sets up Span beds across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring the bed in, assemble it, and show you the hand pendant and the foot end controller before we leave. We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a bed first. Call (905) 451-7743 or use the contact page to book a date.

Hospital beds and bed hardware are oversized, so the Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply to them. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery is described on the shipping policy. If the order is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

The arm that goes in this frame is the Span universal trapeze bar Q6730. Browse the rest of the range in hospital bed accessories and hospital beds. The bed this frame belongs to is the Span Advantage Q-Series, with the Span Encore package and the Span Rexx alongside it, and the full range sits under long term care beds. A resident using a trapeze usually needs the right rails too, in bed rails, and the right surface from medical mattresses.

Service, repairs, and warranty

When something on the bed or an accessory needs work, you call the shop that supplied it, not a US parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department and our technicians come to the home or the workplace.

Span America manufacturer warranty

Span Medical Products Canada warrants beds and accessories against defects in workmanship and materials under normal and proper use from the date of initial delivery. Batteries, hand pendants, foot end controllers and cables carry one year, bed accessories carry one year, and parts subject to wear carry one year. Electrical components, which Span defines as the control box and the actuators, carry five years. The frame and all welds on steel structural components carry fifteen years. Labour for service is not covered by the manufacturer warranty, and warranty claims run through a Span RMA number. We handle the claim with you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the manufacturer code?

Q6733. The SPAN Advantage brochure item code table prints it as "Mounting Frame, Trapeze", the 2026 Savaria range prints it as "Patient helper/trapeze, mounting bracket, ADVANTAGE", and Span's own part description reads "KIT TRAPEZE MOUNTING BRACKET ADVANTAGE".

Do I get the trapeze bar with this?

No. Span sells the frame and the arm as separate codes. This page is the frame. The arm is Q6730, the universal trapeze bar, which Savaria lists for all bed models and which the ReadyWide brochure describes as the patient helper, trapeze bar, chain and hand grip. Order both.

Will this fit an Encore, a ReadyWide or a Rexx?

No. Savaria supplies a different mounting frame for each platform: Q6731 for the Encore MC9 and the Advantage ReadyWide MC7, Q6732 for the Rexx, and this code for the Advantage QD1000. The arm is the same on all three.

How many positions does the arm have?

Five, set by a locking spring pin: two side positions for getting into and out of the bed, one in-bed position for repositioning, and two storage positions. Pull the spring pin up, rotate the pole, and let the pin drop into the hole you want.

Can the handle height be adjusted?

Yes. Span attaches the chain with a quick link, so the height and the position of the hand grip can be changed to suit the person using it.

How much weight will the trapeze take?

Span does not publish a weight limit for the trapeze itself, so we do not quote one. What Span does state is that the Advantage safe working load of 500 lb (227 kg) already includes the patient, the head and foot panels, the mattress, the side rails and accessories. If a resident's weight is anywhere near that figure, ask us and we will get the trapeze figure from Savaria in writing before you order.

What is the one thing staff need to be told?

Check the spring loaded pull pin is properly engaged every time the arm is repositioned. Span warns that a pole that is free to rotate could cause serious injury, and it asks that all instructions supplied with the patient helper are followed.

Can it be fitted to a bed already in a room?

The frame mounts with brackets to the bed frame. Savaria publishes no standalone installation instruction for this code, so call (905) 451-7743 with the bed model and serial number and our service department will confirm what is involved before you order.

What is the warranty?

One year. Span puts bed accessories in its one year row rather than in the five year electrical components row, which covers the control box and the actuators. Labour for service is not part of the manufacturer warranty. Our own service and repairs department handles the claim with you.
