How long does a TurnAid system last and what maintenance is required?

When investing in a lateral turning system like the TurnAid, knowing how long it will last and what level of maintenance is needed is key to planning ahead. Here is what you can expect.

Expected lifespan

The TurnAid system has an official expected service life of 10 years. This is based on typical use and manufacturer testing. In practice, many systems currently in use have already exceeded that timeframe and continue to operate effectively.

In other words, 10 years is a reliable baseline, but a well-maintained TurnAid system can last significantly longer.

Factors that influence longevity

Like any powered care equipment, longevity can vary depending on:

• Frequency of use
• Environment and handling
• Regularity of servicing
• Any repairs carried out during its life

Good care and routine checks will help ensure the system keeps performing safely and smoothly.

Recommended maintenance

To make sure a TurnAid lasts as long as possible, annual servicing of the TurnAid system is recommended. This service typically includes:

• Inspection of mechanical and electrical components
• Testing of movement, controls and safety features
• Identification and replacement of worn parts where required

If the system was supplied by Felgains, our trained engineers would usually carry out this service for you.

What warranty does the TurnAid have?

As standard, TurnAid systems come with a 2-year warranty. This covers the system against manufacturing defects and provides reassurance during its initial period of use.
