This guide covers exam tables and procedure chairs for doctor's offices, clinics and surgery centers. A good first question is manual or power. Here is how to choose, when a procedure chair fits better, and how delivery works.

Manual or power: patient access, height and budget
A manual exam table has a fixed height, so patients climb on using a step. It has no motor, needs no outlet and usually costs less. Our manual exam tables include the Midmark Ritter 104, 404 and 604, Brewer manual tables and the Hamilton E Series. A power exam table has adjustable height: it raises and lowers with a hand or foot control, so patients can sit down at a low height before staff raise it to a comfortable working height. Our power exam tables include the Midmark Ritter 622, 623, 625 and 626, the Brewer 6501 and a Clinton power table with stirrups. If many patients use wheelchairs or have trouble with steps, look at a low-height power model and ask us for its lowest seat height and weight capacity.
Exam table or procedure chair?
An exam table suits general exams and most primary care rooms. A procedure or exam chair also adjusts the back, seat and tilt, often with power controls, and some models are programmable. These chairs are common in specialty practices such as dermatology, ENT and podiatry. Our procedure chairs include the Midmark Ritter 230, 630 and 641, the Reliance 7000 and 7100 and the Brewer Assist Pro 7500.
Brands, and new, used or refurbished
Brands in our exam tables and chairs collection include Midmark Ritter, Brewer, Reliance, Clinton, UMF and MTI. Not every listed model is in stock at any time, so contact us about a specific model. We sell used, refurbished and some new equipment; check each listing for its condition, or ask us. We check and test every exam table and chair before we sell it, even the ones sold as is, and change only what is required, such as the upholstery. Refurbished tables and chairs come with a 90-day parts and labor warranty, certified ones with 30 days parts and labor, and items sold as is have no warranty. Our upholstery service can also redo a worn table top for clinics within 70 miles of Gardena.
Local delivery and freight shipping
Within 50 miles of our Gardena facility, we offer white glove delivery to commercial facilities only; we do not deliver to homes. There is a pickup and delivery charge when applicable, with extra cost for heavy items such as procedure chairs. Heavy items are delivered to the bottom of any stairs, and you need to arrange ramps or elevator access. Farther away, we get freight quotes from carriers and give you up to 3 options. We palletize the table for a fee, send photos of the pallet before it leaves and send tracking once it is picked up. Freight is booked as curbside delivery to a commercial building, with an appointment; inside or white glove delivery can be quoted on request. Inspect the shipment before you sign for it and report any damage within 48 hours. Details are in our shipping policy and long-distance shipping page.
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell used medical exam tables near me?
Yes. We are in Gardena, in the Los Angeles area. We deliver locally to commercial facilities within 50 miles and ship used and refurbished exam tables nationwide by freight.
What is the difference between a manual and an electric exam table?
A manual table stays at one height and patients use a step. An electric, or power, table moves up and down with a control, which helps patients who have trouble with a step.
How can I find an affordable exam table?
Look at used and refurbished tables, which usually cost less than the same model new, and consider a manual table if you do not need power height. Each product page shows the current price.
Can I return an exam table?
Only if it qualifies under our refund policy: unused, in original packaging and returned within 10 calendar days, for store credit only, with a 20% restocking fee. Opened, used and clearance items are not eligible.
Do you repair exam tables?
Yes. Our exam table repair service covers about 70 miles around Gardena. Diagnosis generally takes 3 to 5 business days, and repairs carry a 30-day parts and labor warranty.
