Quick Overview

The Pony Express 2085 is a motorized medication cart from Electro Kinetic Technologies. Two customizable drawer columns sit on a powered drive system, so a nurse takes a full round of medication down the corridor with a thumb wheel on the handle instead of leaning into a loaded cart. It is built for units where the med pass runs all day and the cart never really stops.

EK Tech designed it around the injury numbers. Research from the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety found push and pull forces as low as 35 pounds contribute to musculoskeletal injuries at work, which is why many hospitals now limit the force staff are allowed to apply. Carpet, thresholds and inclines push a loaded medication cart past that quickly. Motorizing the cart takes the load off the caregiver rather than asking them to push harder.

The cart measures 54 in long, 27 in wide and 51 in high, runs 0 to 3 mph on variable speed, is rated to a 6 degree maximum incline and covers up to 10 miles of operation on a single charge. Deep cycle AGM batteries give over 2x the life of standard AGM batteries, and the UL, cUL and CE listed on board charger runs on 120 or 240 VAC through a 10 ft hospital grade retractable cord. Regenerative dynamic braking stops it under control at any speed, an automatic holding brake keeps it still at zero speed even on a slope, and a horn, key switch, emergency stop and high and low speed switch sit at the operator station. It rolls on 6 in ball bearing full swivel rubber casters with non marking tires, two of them with a toe locking brake, and corner bumpers protect your walls.

Both columns are configured to your med pass. EK Tech lists drawer heights of 3 in, 4 in, 6 in and 9 in, adjustable drawer dividers, and locking from individual drawer locks and column locks up to an electronic keypad with a PIN code or a proximity card reader. Waste and sharps containers, a chart holder and a large basket are on the accessory list, and the paint comes in 16 colors. Because each build is different we quote it. For scope towers see the custom motorized endoscopy cart, and for pharmacy distribution see the Model 1080 pharmacy cart.

Medication carts sit alongside crash, endoscopy and pharmacy carts in our custom engineered cart range.

How fast is the 2085 and how far does one charge go?

Variable speed runs from 0 to 3 mph, so the cart moves at walking pace beside the nurse, and it covers up to 10 miles of operation on a single charge. A battery charge indicator on the cart shows the state of charge and the on board charger tops it up from any 120 or 240 VAC outlet.

What drawer sizes can I get?

EK Tech lists drawer heights of 3 in, 4 in, 6 in and 9 in in the two customizable columns, with adjustable drawer dividers so the compartments match your packaging. Tell us the med pass and we will lay the columns out with the factory.

How is medication secured on the cart?

Locking options are individual drawer locks, column locks, an electronic keypad with a PIN code, or an electronic keypad with a proximity card reader. The electrical cabinet also has a keyed lock as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why motorize a medication cart?

Force. EK Tech cites Liberty Mutual research showing push and pull forces as low as 35 pounds contribute to musculoskeletal injuries, and a loaded medication cart on carpet or a ramp passes that easily. Many hospitals now cap the push force staff may apply, and a powered cart is how you meet the cap without cutting what the cart carries.

How do I choose the drawer layout?

Start with what a full med pass looks like on your unit. EK Tech offers 3 in, 4 in, 6 in and 9 in drawer heights across two columns with adjustable dividers, so you can mix deep drawers for bulk items with shallow ones for unit dose. Send us a rough layout and we will get it confirmed by the factory.

Can staff be tracked or restricted at the cart?

The locking options run from individual drawer locks and column locks to an electronic keypad with a PIN code or an electronic keypad with a proximity card reader, so access can be tied to your badge system.

Will it climb the ramps in our building?

It is rated to a maximum incline of 6 degrees. The automatic holding brake keeps it from moving at zero speed even on an incline and regenerative dynamic braking gives a controlled stop at any speed, so it does not run away on a slope.

What does it cost?

It depends on the columns, drawers, locking and accessories you specify, because the 2085 is built to order. Call us on 1-888-233-5563 or send your requirement through the contact form and we will get a written quote back to you, usually the same business day.

Does Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance help pay for the Pony Express 2085 medication cart?

Material handling equipment like the Pony Express 2085 medication cart does not meet the medical device rules that Medicare and Medicaid use, so it does not qualify for coverage. We do not work with Medicare and we do not bill private insurance directly.

Notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicare pays for equipment only when the supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have one, so Medicare will not pay for anything we sell you. You are personally and fully responsible for payment.
