The high quality stainless steel medical trolleys are usually supported by a steel frame that is made in one piece and any curves and corners are made as smooth and rounded as possible and the edges are removed. The base material fitted to this frame may be wood or metal, depending on the type of load and expected weight. This basic construction provides a great amount of strength to the truck’s core, and protects the truck user from being injured or cut when it comes in contact with his body.
The deadman braking system used on the airport trolley makes handling of this truck safe, as do the various caster and wheel options. For example, for use in locations where static electricity must be avoided for safety reasons, anti-static casters can be fitted. As well as making the truck easier to maneuver and providing greater protection for the contents, air-filled pneumatic casters can also make truck operation safer in environments where there are uneven surfaces. The medical trolleys also work great in terms of flexibility and adaptability. Platform trucks are used in a wide variety of industries and applications and therefore need to be thought of and built in a modular way. This allows for ultimate flexibility and customizability as parts can be added, combined and modified to adapt the truck as closely as possible to its task. For example, platform trucks can be modified to suit specific loads e.g. A cage or cradle may be added to enable a bottle keg or drum to be carried.
