What is the difference between the medication cart and the pharmacy cart?
The 2085 medication cart is the unit level cart a nurse takes on the med pass, and it drives itself. The Model 1080 pharmacy cart is the distribution cart that carries patient specific medication from central pharmacy out to medication rooms, holds enough for over 20 nurse stations, and becomes motorized by pairing with a Pony Express tugger or motorized platform.
Why buy motorized medical carts at all?
EK Tech cites Liberty Mutual research showing push and pull forces as low as 35 pounds contribute to musculoskeletal injuries, and many hospitals have set limits on the force staff may apply. A loaded cart on carpet or a ramp beats that limit. A powered drive keeps the cart useful without putting the strain on the person moving it.
How customizable are these carts?
The 1085 and 2085 take two configurable columns with drawers 3 in, 6 in or 9 in high, shelves and a keyboard shelf, plus accessories like an articulating monitor mount, hospital grade power strip, isolation transformer, sharps and waste containers, chart holder and large basket, in any of 16 paint colors. Crash carts are engineered to order, with stainless steel or aluminum frames, pendant, dual or wireless controls and lithium iron phosphate batteries among the published options.

The Pony Express 1033 medical records cart, medical gas cylinder carts, the 2010 cylinder delivery cart, the 1050-EL lift cart, motorized linen and laundry carts, motorized platform carts and the electric power scooter for visitors are all EK Tech products we carry.
