Hanning motor vs. conventional motors

Why we rely on Hanning drives for our electric therapy tables

Hanning motor

Made in Germany

Purpose-built for therapy tables, reliable, quiet, long-lasting.

• Exceptionally durable

  Built for continuous use, up to 10× longer service life.
• Very quiet

  Exceptionally smooth running, for a pleasant therapy environment.
• High force reserve

  Reliable performance even under heavy load and intensive use.
• Maintenance-free

  Sealed system, no re-greasing, no regular maintenance required.
• Maximum safety

  Overload protection plus smooth start-and-stop behaviour, tested to the highest standards.

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.
• Higher risk

  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 Premium 5 therapy table extends the Premium series with additional positioning options for physiotherapy treatments with changing positions and higher demands on the seated-lying function. It sits between the four-segment Premium 4 and the flagship Premium 6 in the series' equipment hierarchy. Two electric motors control height adjustment and the U-shaped backrest; electric height adjustment ranges from 53 to 93 cm. At 200 cm length, width is selectable from 65 to 85 cm, with a maximum load of 180 kg. The sturdy base construction reliably supports the stated maximum weight even in the upright seated position, operated via a shared hand control for both motors. The central roller lift system is included as standard and does not need to be purchased separately. With its extended segmentation, the Premium 5 suits physiotherapy practices that need, in addition to the sitting function, more differentiated positioning of the patient during treatment, for example exercise sequences with several consecutive position changes. Those seeking the widest positioning variety in the series will find it in the flagship Premium 6. 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.
