The station is designed to be installed directly on to an existing wall surface using the included hardware. Four pre-drilled mounting holes in the back wall of the unit are designed for wood screws into wood studs on 32" centers. For installation in wall that does not have wood studs 32" on center, metal studs, or concrete block, toggle fasteners are included for two of the four holes. The station folds down horizontally so the the adult is facing the wall while changing the infant whose is laying parallel to the wall. With a reinforced metal-on-metal hinge running the full length of the station and with 11-gauge steel mounting chassis, the KB110-SSWM meets all ASTM requirements for static load performance when properly installed. Although designed for infants that weigh no more than 50 lbs. in testing the KB110-SSWM easily supported 200 lbs. with minimal deflection of the "bed" from horizontal. A pneumatic cylinder provides for easy, slow, and controlled opening and closing of the bed. Both the pneumatic cylinder and metal hinge mechanism are fully concealed (regardless of bed position) to eliminate tampering and possible pinch hazard.
