Conventional motors

Often cheaper to buy, but more expensive to run.

• Shorter service life

  Not designed for continuous use, faster wear is likely.
• Louder in operation

  Higher noise levels, disruptive for therapy and patients.
• Lower force reserve

  Performance drops off under heavy load or frequent use.
• Maintenance-intensive

  Requires regular re-greasing and servicing, time-consuming and costly.

  Fewer protective mechanisms, higher risk of failure and injury.

Bottom line: the Hanning motor is a sustainable investment in quality, safety, and efficiency, for smooth operation and satisfied patients.

The electric Riedi Classic 3e therapy table expands the simple Classic series concept with a third segment, creating more positioning options for physiotherapy and massage without complicating the series' simple basic idea. Practitioners benefit from the familiar, uncomplicated operation of the Classic series, paired with somewhat more flexibility in patient positioning. A single electric motor adjusts the height in the table axis; at a length of 200 cm and a width of 65 to 85 cm, the height range is 55 to 95 cm. The additional third segment allows finer adjustment of the head and foot sections for different treatment positions, for example a slightly raised head position for relaxation treatments or separate foot positioning for targeted exercises, without departing from the series' simple, robust base construction. With its more flexible treatment surface, the Classic 3e suits physiotherapy treatments and massage applications that need somewhat more positioning variety than the two-segment Classic 2e, while still benefiting from the simple, low-maintenance construction of the Classic series. Particularly in practices with a mixed treatment spectrum, the third segment is a noticeable gain in everyday practicality. A lock-out box compliant with the German Medical Devices Act (MPG) is included as standard: it disconnects the electric motor from the mains after adjustment, preventing unintended movement of the couch. The table supports loads up to 180 kg.
