Metal Bunk Beds for Dormitories: EN 747 Compliance & Load Capacity Guide
Why metal over wood for dormitories
Metal frames offer longer service life, easier sanitation, and higher weight rating per unit cost — critical where beds see high turnover and continuous use.
EN 747 compliance explained
EN 747 is the European standard covering the safety of bunk beds and high beds — guardrail height, gaps, and structural limits. Specifying EN 747 compliance (with EN 1725 for mattresses where relevant) ensures the product meets recognized safety thresholds for occupied sleeping spaces.
Load capacity you can document
Zehao standard metal bunk beds are rated at 200 kg per level (250 kg heavy-duty), verified by SGS testing. For dormitory planning, specify the rated load per level and request the test report.
Space and logistics for high-density housing
KD (knock-down) flat-pack design ships in 5-ply export cartons with foam corner protection, reducing freight volume for container shipments. Standard footprint uses a 1900 × 900 mm mattress fit, adjustable to local sizing.
Customization for projects
OEM/ODM is supported: custom dimensions, RAL colors for volume orders, private labeling on frame and carton, and new-structure development from drawings. Projects delivered include worker-camp high-density housing and hostel supplies.
Ordering basics
MOQ 50 sets for standard models; samples 1–5 sets (refundable on orders of 100 sets or more). Lead time 25–30 working days after deposit. Payment: 30% T/T + 70% against B/L; Alibaba Trade Assurance supported. Departure from Tianjin Xingang.
Lock the specification
For dormitory procurement, lock the spec to EN 747 compliance, documented load rating, and KD pack-out — then confirm the manufacturer's capacity and references. Browse our dormitory bunk beds.
