There are nursing homes all over the country that are plagued with staffing issues. In many otherwise fine institutions these issues can cause delay in some of the most integral and necessary daily operations. Hiring additional full time staff members to help with cleaning and maintenance may not be in the annual budget, but a small investment in the right equipment could make a big difference.
A piece of equipment like the cart pusher from DJ Products can instantly increase the efficiency of the staff members in a nursing home or hospital environment. The cart pusher is small and easy to maneuver but has enough power to easily handle carts that weigh several thousand pounds.
The cart pusher from DJ Products makes for fast and easy maneuvering of fully loaded food or linen carts, carts loaded with supplies and heavy pieces of medical equipment. The cart pusher also works well on a variety of surfaces which makes it an ideal piece of equipment for facilities that have a mix of carpet, tile, concrete and other flooring. Jobs that used to require two or more staff members to complete can be performed quickly and safely with an electric cart pusher.
Attempting to move fully loaded carts or heavy equipment manually can result in serious injuries to valuable employees. Work related injuries can not only add additional to the burden of an already overworked staff, they can cost the facility a considerable amount of money in expensive workers’ compensation claims. Adding a piece of equipment like an electric cart pusher dramatically decreases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries brought on by manually pulling or pushing heavy carts. A piece of equipment like an electric cart pusher creates a safer and more efficient environment and takes some of the additional strain off of overworked nursing home employees.
