• Easy transport: the rubberized and swivel wheel system reduces the physical effort of healthcare personnel during movements in wards and between departments.
• Configurable stability: the 3-wheel transformation allows the trolley’s behavior to be adapted to different surfaces and operational situations, preventing slips.
• Secure fastening: the tightening strap and ergonomic handle guarantee control of the cylinder during movement, minimizing fall risks.
• Comfort of use: the non-toxic rubber handle and ergonomic grip reduce fatigue during extended shifts.
• Clinical durability: the acrylic powder coating allows for easy sanitization and resists humid environments and hospital detergents.
• Compact footprint: the compact dimensions (300 mm wide) facilitate movement in narrow spaces such as corridors and elevators.

The cylinder trolley finds application in all hospital and healthcare contexts that require frequent and safe transport of oxygen cylinders. It is particularly suitable for public and private hospitals, where nursing staff need to move cylinders between departments, operating rooms, intensive care units and patient rooms.

It is also indispensable in nursing homes and residential facilities for the elderly, where stability and ease of maneuver are priorities in environments with limited space. Specialized clinics in pulmonology, cardiology and emergency medicine use this trolley to guarantee rapid and controlled distribution of therapeutic oxygen to patients.

The convertible configuration also makes it suitable for environments with irregular surfaces, such as technical rooms and hospital warehouses, where stability on three points prevents unwanted tipping.

Choose this trolley when your healthcare facility must ensure the safe, controlled and repeated transport of oxygen cylinders in a clinical environment. It is the correct solution if your staff complains of difficulty in maneuvering cylinders by hand or if you use non-specialized trolleys that compromise stability during movement.

It represents an operational prerequisite where the transport frequency is high (hospitals with many departments, long distances between clinical areas) and where work ergonomics is a priority for staff health. The three-wheel configuration is essential in environments with irregular flooring or in historical structures with height differences.

It differs from generic solutions because it is specifically designed for Ø 160 mm cylinders with non-toxic components certified for medical contexts and coating resistant to hospital disinfection protocols. If your structure is registered with MEPA (Electronic Public Administration Marketplace), the product is available through simplified acquisition procedures.

What are the differences compared to a standard two-wheeled trolley?

The cylinder trolley is distinguished by its convertible three-wheel configuration, which guarantees superior stability on irregular surfaces and prevents tipping during turns. A standard two-wheeled trolley, without this functionality and not designed for medical cylinders, offers less control and a higher risk of the load falling. Furthermore, the fastening system with strap and the ergonomic handle are specifically sized for Ø 160 mm cylinders and for frequent movements in the hospital environment.

Is it compatible with cylinders of different sizes?

No, the trolley is designed exclusively for cylinders with a diameter of Ø 160 mm. Use with different sized cylinders would result in loss of tightening strap effectiveness and would compromise stability. If your facility uses cylinders of different diameters, consult the manufacturer to evaluate alternative configurations.

What regulations and certifications are applied?

The trolley is made with materials complying with hospital standards: the rubber handle is non-toxic (complying with FDA regulations for contact with medical materials), and the acrylic powder coating is formulated to resist disinfectants used in clinical environments according to ISO 11135 and equivalent protocols. Verify with the manufacturer the availability of specific certification documentation for your facility.

How is the conversion from two to three wheels performed?

The trolley is convertible to the three-wheel configuration, which means that the wheel system allows the driving behavior to be adapted. The specific configuration (trolley adjustment, selective locking) must be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is recommended to train staff on the procedure to ensure correct and safe use.

What periodic maintenance is required?

Essential maintenance includes checking the integrity of the tightening strap, checking the condition of the rubber wheels (wear and inflation if pneumatic), lubricating the swivel wheel joints and checking the rubber handle. The acrylic coating does not require specific treatments, but it is recommended to clean the trolley regularly with the disinfectants in use in the facility to maintain hygiene.

Is it available through MEPA?

Yes, the H5539 cylinder trolley is available on the Electronic Public Administration Marketplace (MEPA). Public health facilities can access the product through the simplified purchasing procedure of the MEPA portal, by verifying the presence of the supplier among the accredited suppliers.
