The 4 Best Material Handling Tools for the Medical Industry

Posted by Magliner on March 11th, 2021

Whether you work in a hospital or deliver oxygen tanks to homes, the medical industry can significantly benefit from material handling tools. From moving large pieces of equipment around to resupplying rooms, tools like the classic hand truck can make jobs simple, efficient, and safe compared to carrying a single box. Here are some of the material handling tools that the medical industry can benefit from.

The Classic Hand Truck for Supplies

The classic 2 wheel dolly is one of the most recognizable material handling tools available for a good reason. Instead of moving a single box of supplies or more than one box and risk tripping, a hand truck can help you safely move multiple boxes at a time. This not only increases efficiency, taking less time to move more boxes or items but can improve safety, as well. There is a far lower chance of tripping and hurting yourself, and you can easily stack boxes while minimizing how often you need to bend over and saving your back.

A Heavy Duty Hand Truck for Larger Items

When you need to move larger, heavier items than the classic hand truck can carry, your medical facility or business might want to upgrade to a heavy duty hand truck. From furniture to larger pieces of equipment, a heavy duty hand truck will help prevent injuries and do the work of a team lift while only requiring a single person. With an optional fourth wheel attachment, optional ratchet strap, and optional side wings, it’s easy to move heavy, oversized items around a hospital or medical supply warehouse.

A Powered Stair Climbing Dolly for Home Delivery

When you need to move oxygen tanks into a house, the chances are good that you will have to move them to a second-floor bedroom. That involves hauling the gas canisters up a flight of stairs, possibly one at a time and with help. Your other option is using a powered stair climbing dolly or powered heavy duty stair climbing dolly, depending on what kind of medical equipment you need to deliver. This will do the work for you with a motorized stair-climbing action, letting you stay in an ergonomic position to help guide the dolly up the stairs. This drastically reduces the chance of injury and helps you be more efficient.

Motorized Hand Trucks for Around the Hospital

When you need to move large tanks of oxygen around a warehouse or hospital, you might consider a motorized hand truck. Meant to carry large loads over long distances, a powered hand truck is perfect for moving larger, heavier items like oxygen tanks into place. With the quick attach function, it can use various nose plates, allowing for versatility around the hospital or warehouse floor.
