Working in the Crowd

Some positions require material handling equipment that is powerful enough to tackle heavy loads reliably, but that is small and easily maneuvered to where it can weave in and out of tight corners among crowded areas.

Consider feeding times in places like hospitals, nursing homes and institutions – many of the residents of these environments are incapable of visiting a cafeteria so there food must be delivered.  In buildings that have potentially thousands of residents who are on a tight schedule, feeding time can be a very busy time.  Individually carrying meals to the residents is completely impractical, but large manual carts could be too cumbersome to move throughout hallways where there will be residents/patients and other members of the staff constantly moving.

These aren’t atmospheres where the hallways can be tied up for extended periods of time for food service; meals need to be delivered on schedule, quickly and without blocking access to other areas of the unit.

This is where equipment like the Parts CaddyLite from DJ Products becomes a necessity.  This super efficient, quiet and powerful little cart is easy enough to maneuver that even crowded hospital hallways are easily navigated.  Food and supplies can be easily delivered without interfering with other necessary operations and without causing any excess noise that could potentially disrupt residents or patients.

The Parts CaddyLite is easy to use and designed with both efficiency and safety in mind.  With a variable speed adjustment, the job can be completed as quickly as is necessary, but without putting anyone’s safety at risk and the battery is capable of lasting for two whole shifts on a single charge – so reliability will never be an issue.  If your business requires that your employees be capable of delivering goods on time, without fail in an environment that has close quarters and crowds – the Parts CaddyLite will deliver every time.

Resorts and Hotels: Get Motorized Housekeeping Carts for the Demands of Summer Crowds

Summer vacation will soon be here and at this time of year many families are traveling with kids and pets in tow. These guests will certainly keep your staff on its toes…and you don’t want any unsteady carts running over any toes (staff or guest). We offer powered carts for hospitality environments such as resorts and hotels. Keep your operations running efficiently during this buy season with…

A Powered Housekeeping Cart that can get rid of the need for a staff member to push a heavy housekeeping cart using his or her own strength.

A Powered Dirty Linen Cart that will allow a staff member can transport soiled linens safely through hallways without fear of having an overloaded cart full of things that need to be washed spilling.

A Motorized Clean Linen Wire Cart that can help staff quickly replace linens without having clean linens spill out and needing to be rewashed.

Each of our motorized carts has a variable speed twist grips that allows the operator to travel at speeds of 0-3 mph forward or backward. This helps to ensure that they can be operated safely or moved out of the way if necessary. In a packed hotel of resort, staff may not be able to completely avoid customers but you can reduce collisions with energetic children or other staff members when you provide the right kind of equipment. You can also reduce instances of injury and muscle strain because with the demands of summer, your staff will have more to do and you do cannot afford to lose staff members to preventable injuries.

New Motorized Retrofit Cart Kit eliminates strains and pains from pushing heavy housekeeping, linen, waste hoppers, foodservice, money, or vending carts.

DJ Products, Inc. of Minneapolis has introduced a new motorized retrofit cart kit that can be adapted and mounted to almost any cart, including housekeeping, linen, waste hoppers, foodservice, money, or vending carts in the hospitality, hospital, manufacturing, casino, and distribution environments.

The kit is designed to enhance and improve the sizable investment that companies have made in purchasing their carts.   Due to their aging work force, changing work environment, or new OSHA related safety regulations, this retrofit powered cart helps eliminate the strains and pains of pushing these heavy carts.  Employers report a decrease in work-related injuries and employee turnover, while they experience an increase in employee productivity and job satisfaction.

Workplace injury and illness costs American businesses $171 billion annually. Workers’ compensation claims add another $60 billion to that annual price tag. More than a quarter of those claims are for back injuries from repetitive lifting, pulling, pushing and straining, according to the National Council on Compensation Insurance. OSHA reports that back injuries cost U.S. businesses $12 million in lost workdays and $1 billion in compensation costs each year. The time-lost cost of a single injury is estimated at $26,000.

The motorized retrofit cart kit can power carts up to 4,000 lbs. and works great on many surfaces including carpet, tile, marble, cement, and asphalt. The motorized cart kit has variable speed twist grips that allow the operator to travel at speeds of 0-3.2 mph forward or backward. With its heavy duty, 24-volt motor powered by two 12v batteries, the powered retrofit kit can perform without re-charging for an entire shift. The powered retrofit cart kit can be customized to any application or any environment.  It can be field installed by the customer or DJ Products can provide on-site installation services.

For more information about applications and environments conducive to the retrofitting your existing carts, or any heavy cart mover application, call DJProducts at 1-800-686-2651, or visit them atwww.djproducts.com.
