Description
When the head section on your stretcher stops holding position, drifts under load, or moves in jerks instead of a smooth arc, the head hydraulic cylinder is usually the reason. This replacement head hydraulic cylinder is built as a direct-fit hospital stretcher part for TranStar Series frames, so you can bring a unit back into service instead of pulling it from your floor rotation or writing it off entirely. It is the same style of sealed hydraulic actuator the frame was designed around, which means the backrest raises and lowers at the controlled rate the mechanism was engineered to deliver.
You get a clean, single-component repair. Rather than sourcing seals and rebuild kits and hoping the rebuild holds, you install a complete cylinder and return the stretcher to a known working condition in one visit. That matters when a unit sitting idle in your shop is a unit not available in pre-op, recovery, or the ED. The assembly is intended for installation by a qualified biomedical or service technician following the frame manufacturer's service documentation, and it carries a 1 year warranty. If you maintain a fleet of stretchers, keeping one cylinder on the shelf turns an unplanned failure into a same-day fix. Confirm your frame model and existing cylinder configuration before ordering so you get the correct fit the first time.
Features
- Restores Controlled Head Section Movement — This head hydraulic cylinder returns the backrest to smooth, metered raising and lowering, eliminating the drift and drop that develop as an original cylinder loses seal integrity over time.
- Direct Fit for TranStar Series Frames — Designed as a replacement hospital stretcher part for TranStar Series units, so the mounting geometry and stroke match the original assembly without bracket modification or adapters.
- Complete Assembly, Not a Rebuild Kit — You install one finished cylinder instead of sourcing seals, O rings, and fluid, which shortens bench time and removes the uncertainty of a field rebuild holding pressure.
- Extends Equipment Service Life — Replacing a single failed actuator lets you keep a structurally sound stretcher in rotation rather than retiring the frame, protecting capital already invested in your fleet.
- Backed by a One Year Warranty — Coverage gives your biomedical department a defined support window on the repair, so a stretcher returned to service is documented and accounted for.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It is specified for TranStar Series patient stretchers. Confirm your exact frame model and the configuration of the cylinder currently installed before ordering, since stretcher families are built in multiple weight-capacity and procedural variants.
Installation should be performed by a qualified biomedical or equipment service technician following the frame manufacturer's service manual. Hydraulic actuators are load-bearing components and require correct mounting, purging, and function testing after replacement.
This unit actuates the head, or backrest, section only. Base height, foot section, and Trendelenburg functions are driven by separate cylinders and are not addressed by this part.
It ships as a complete sealed assembly. Verify function and full stroke on the bench or immediately after installation, and inspect all fittings for leaks before returning the stretcher to patient use.
On frames using paired cylinders, many biomedical departments replace both together so wear and response rate stay matched. Confirm your frame's configuration to determine whether one or two units are required.
