Trolley service for hospital
May 1st 2008

York Hospital has introduced a new style of trolley to accommodate its medical gas cylinders. Made of lightweight stainless steel, the ergonomically designed unit from Craven is hygienic, easy to manoeuvre and maintenance-free.

Previous trolleys had suffered paint chips which resulted in rusting of the metal. They were also difficult to keep clean and had caused rust stains to the floor.

Craven worked with Andy Sanderson, portering and environment manager at York Hospital, to develop a tailor-made solution.

Sized to fit a variety of medical gas and oxygen cylinders, the trolleys are made from 304 grade stainless steel with 200mm anti-static wheels and feature a positive fix stainless steel gate to retain the cylinder. The solid base allows freestanding when stationary and the round tube handle aids manoeuvrability.
