Plinth 2000 unveils the Affinity

New from UK treatment couch and chair specialists, Plinth 2000 of Stowmarket, Suffolk, is the Affinity aluminium portable treatment table.

Lightweight and yet capable of handling working weights up to 230kg (35 stone), it folds into its own wheeled carry case. Featuring a 7-second set-up time, one-track height control, adjustable tilting backrest and standard breathing hole and plug, the table is ideal for routine treatment and examination, physiotherapy, sports massage, mobile beauty treatment and aromatherapy.

The Affinity weighs in at 14.5kg (32lbs) and offers a full size treatment platform measuring 185cm long x 62cm wide (73in x 25in). It folds down to 86cm x 66cm (34in x 30in). Push button control gives simple height adjustment between 59cm (23in) and 81cm (32in).

A 10-position lifting backrest permits patients to lie fully prone or reclined at a comfortable angle. There is an optional face cradle and armrest, which extends the table by 30cms (12in). The all-aluminium frame is powder coated for durability and finished in navy blue as standard.

The treatment area is cushioned with 5cm (2in) thick, medical-grade Therafoam and upholstered with matching, navy fire-retardant vinyl.

Plinth 2000 Limited
We make plinths and chiropody chairs for specific and general treatments. The designs are modern, uncluttered, simple and robust. Excellent access and leg room does not prevent our plinths being probably the most FIRM AND SOLID available. No quibbles, gimmicks, or false promises - just the best plinths backed by 30+ years of experience, reliability and genuine customer service.
