Couldn't load pickup availability
Universal motorized ophthalmic examination table for slit lamp mounting — height 65-90 cm adjustable, 130 kg load capacity, universal top plate compatible with Haag-Streit BQ 900, Zeiss SL 130, Topcon SL-D, Reichert, Nidek, and CSO slit lamps. $1,999.99 direct — vs $3,500-8,000 for OEM manufacturer tables (Haag-Streit HSM 901, Zeiss IOL Master table, Topcon universal cart). Designed for ophthalmology clinics, optometry practices, university teaching programs, and academic medical centers.
Universal slit lamp compatibility
The top plate accepts the standard 4-hole mounting pattern used across virtually all major slit lamp manufacturers. Tested with:
- Haag-Streit — BQ 900, BM 900, BP 900, BX 900 series
- Zeiss — SL 130, SL 120 / 130 / 220 (with adapter for 130mm base), Visulyzer
- Topcon — SL-D701, SL-D7, SL-D2, SL-D4, SL-3G, SL-2G
- Reichert — 700 Series slit lamps
- Nidek — SL-1800, SL-2000, SL-450
- CSO / Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici — SL 990, SL 970
- Marco — SL-3B, SL-6, SL-9
- Kowa — SL-15, SL-19 (with light adapter)
- SciMed slit lamps + generic Chinese-manufactured units — standard 4-hole mounting
How to verify fit: your slit lamp's base plate should have 4 mounting holes in a rectangular pattern approximately 100-180mm apart (this is the industry standard). Measure your existing table plate hole pattern — if it matches, our top plate will fit. If your slit lamp is a specialty unit (surgical microscope integration, custom lab units), email us the model number and we'll confirm before purchase.

Who buys this table
- Optometry practices — replacing worn tables under existing Haag-Streit or Zeiss slit lamps
- Ophthalmology clinics — new exam room build-outs, refresh of aging equipment
- University optometry / ophthalmology programs — student clinics, teaching lanes
- Academic medical centers — resident training rooms, fellow research spaces
- Hospital eye clinics — outpatient ophthalmology bays
- Solo practitioners — mobile/traveling ophthalmologists needing a portable table with lockable casters
- International clinics via DDP — GCC, MENA, LATAM, SE Asia ophthalmology practices
- Emergency room ophthalmology corners — smaller footprint than a full ophthalmology chair unit
Installation + Setup
- Base assembly: pre-assembled at factory — column + casters + motor pre-installed. Top plate ships separately for damage prevention.
- Top plate mount: 4 machine bolts (M8 × 30 mm, included). Torque to 12 Nm.
- Slit lamp mount: transfer your slit lamp to the top plate using its existing 4 base bolts. No modification to the slit lamp required.
- Cable management: integrated cable channel down the column (route power cable through channel to avoid patient chin rest interference).
- Initial calibration: factory-calibrated — no adjustment needed. Test motorized range 65-90 cm before first patient.
- Total setup time: ~30-45 minutes for two people, or 60-75 minutes for one person.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my specific slit lamp model?
Almost certainly yes if your slit lamp is Haag-Streit, Zeiss, Topcon, Reichert, Nidek, CSO, Marco, or Kowa. The universal top plate accepts the 4-hole mounting pattern used across virtually all major manufacturers. If you have a specialty unit or older discontinued model, email us the model number + a photo of your existing base plate hole pattern — we'll confirm before shipping.
Can I use my existing Haag-Streit slit lamp with this table?
Yes. The 4-hole pattern used by Haag-Streit BQ 900, BM 900, BP 900, and BX 900 series matches this table's top plate. Transfer your slit lamp using its existing base bolts — no modification required.
Is this compatible with the Zeiss SL 130?
Yes with adapter (Zeiss SL 130 uses a slightly different base plate). We can include the Zeiss adapter kit ($75) — mention "Zeiss adapter" in your order notes and we'll add it to your shipment.
What's the height difference between minimum and maximum?
65-90 cm range = 25 cm (10 inches) of vertical travel. This is adequate for patient seating positions from wheelchair users (65 cm working height) to standard exam chair (85-90 cm). Foot pedal + hand switch allow adjustment without leaving the exam.
Is 130 kg load capacity enough?
Yes for standard slit lamps (typical slit lamp: 10-20 kg). Load capacity headroom accounts for slit lamp + refractor + patient chin rest overhang + occasional accidental patient bracing. For laser slit lamp combinations (photocoagulator + slit lamp), verify combined weight is under 100 kg for safety margin.
Do I need to disassemble anything for shipping?
Table ships pre-assembled — column + casters + motor already installed. Top plate ships separately in the same crate for damage prevention (final 4-bolt attachment on site). Freight ships crated ~180 lbs. Requires 2-person unload from truck lift-gate or forklift.
Does this work with 220V for international clinics?
Yes. 220V/50Hz variant on request — same price, different power supply. Specify voltage at checkout or note in your order.
What's the warranty?
1-year parts + labor on all components (motor, actuator, casters, top plate, foot pedal). 24-month replacement motor availability — DC linear actuators typically last 8-12 years in clinical use. Cosmetic damage and unauthorized modifications not covered.
Can this be used in a mobile ophthalmology unit?
Yes — lockable casters + relatively compact footprint make this suitable for mobile eye care vans, telemedicine ophthalmology setups, and traveling practitioner use. Secure to vehicle floor during transport (do not rely on caster locks for road travel).
How is this shipped?
US: LTL freight (crated ~180 lbs, requires lift-gate delivery to receiving dock or business address). Same-day dispatch on orders before 2 PM Pacific. International: DHL Express or ocean freight DDP for bulk. Ships to GCC, MENA, UK, EU, LATAM, AU/NZ, India, SE Asia.
