CartCaddyShorty Hospital

Applications

The CartCaddyShorty is primarily designed to push, pull, or maneuver carts or equipment that require turning and that can typically be pushed or pulled with 1 or 2 people. The most common application is the cart with two front swivel casters and 2 straight casters. This battery powered mover is the smallest, most maneuverable tug on the market, and still has plenty of power to handle most push or pull applications. The CartCaddyShorty attaches to the swivel castered end and provides the pushing and pulling power necessary for easy turning and intricate maneuvering. Customers terminology for their specific cart may vary. They can be referred to as a cart, dollie, flatbed, trough, pan truck, tub, tank, cradle, lift table, window cart, glass rack, or wheeled machinery. These carts can carry a variety of items, from a bin full of washers, to a bed of steel, to a trough full of cookie dough. Regardless of the parts or equipment being pushed or pulled, our battery powered mover or pusher has the power to push or pull almost any heavy cart.

Often employees operating without a CartCaddyShorty are required to manually push and pull carts. This heavy cart pushing task may require anywhere from 1-3 employees. The CartCaddy™ eliminates the possibility of a strain or pain from manually pushing or pulling these loads, while eliminating the amount of employees to accomplish the task, drastically increasing productivity. While some companies have been successful in utilizing equipment such as a fork truck, walkie, electric pallet jack, or riding tug to manage their cart pushing application, these solutions are often not ergonomically correct and are expensive, and result in awkward maneuvering in tight spaces.

Whatever the cart pushing or cart pulling application is, our electric powered cart pusher has the power to push or pull almost any wheeled application. DJ Products, Inc. also offers customized solutions to virtually any material handling cart pushing or pulling application.
