The Astor Bannerman Motion E is a height-adjustable, reclining assisted bath designed to support safe and comfortable bathing in care homes and nursing environments. Its large manual side-entry door, integrated contoured seat and powered reclining movement make it suitable for a range of mobility and assisted-transfer requirements.
Featuring 200 mm powered height adjustment, a 23° reclining tilt and a 98-litre pre-fill footwell, the Motion E offers practical support for carers and bathers. Its simplified tap and control configuration provides a cost-effective alternative to the Motion G, with optional sensory bathing features available.
Electric height adjustment through 200 mm and a 23° reclining tilt help carers position the bather for access and immersion.
The lightweight manual side door opens widely for suitable wheelchair, independent or assisted transfers, subject to handling assessment.
The footwell holds 98 litres and can be filled before reclining; autofill supports carer-assisted bathing.
The integral moulded seat and side-entry layout provide a supported position without a separate powered transfer seat.
Motion E is the cost-effective Motion configuration, with a basic tapset and simpler controls rather than Motion G water-control equipment.
Available options include warm-air spa, Bluetooth audio, colour-changing LED lights and battery backup, subject to configuration.
Motion E combines a wide side-entry door, moulded bathing seat, 23° reclining tilt and space for compatible hoists or wheelchairs. A powered traverse seat is not fitted; transfer suitability must be assessed individually.
The large side opening supports seated entry from a suitable wheelchair and can make assisted transfers more manageable. Care plans and compatibility still need checking.
Clearance around and beneath the Motion E allows compatible floor hoists, ceiling hoists and handling equipment to approach the bath.
Adjust the bath height for care tasks and then recline through up to 23° for supported immersion, using the pre-filled footwell where appropriate.
Figures are from Astor Bannerman’s Motion E technical specification. The 210 kg patient limit and 300 kg patient-plus-water safe working load are different figures. Working heights are listed at the front and rear of the bath and vary with position; check the exact supplied configuration.
Able can assess room layout, doorway and wheelchair access, hoist approach and the side-entry transfer process to help establish whether the Motion E suits your bathing requirements.
We can support specification, delivery and commissioning, followed by servicing, repairs and breakdown support.
If replacing an existing Motion E or another assisted bath, send us the make and model and we can review practical installation and handling requirements.
Review room dimensions, access, services, existing equipment and practical transfer requirements.
Confirm 1908 × 860 mm dimensions, 200 mm rise and fall, 23° tilt, access and door orientation, water fittings and transfer compatibility.
Plan delivery, removal where agreed, installation, commissioning and handover.
Keep the bath supported with planned servicing, breakdown assistance, repairs and parts.
Tell us the existing make and model, room dimensions, door access and transfer method. Able can review the replacement arrangement and identify appropriate bathing alternatives.
