The hospital’s catering and hospitality manager Michael Eastham implemented the new trolleys to support his team of 65 staff who deliver up to 2,500 meals daily to patients.
Eastham reports that the variocart is already proving to be a superior solution, offering improved handling, higher load capacity and ergonomic benefits.
Designed for demanding environments, the variocart boasts a robust 300kg load capacity, with 100kg per shelf, reinforced by extra-strong welded seams. The trolley features adjustable shelves with 11 configuration levels and an optional ergonomic handle that encourages better posture for staff of all heights.
Eastham said: "It’s already evident that Hupfer’s variocart is much smoother to manoeuvre, and the handle positioning allows for easier movement across the hospital site, reducing strain and improving staff wellbeing."
The trolley is made from approximately 85% recycled materials and its flatpack delivery reduces transport space by 75% cutting both storage costs and the hospital's carbon footprint.
The variocart is supported by Hupfer’s innovative Buy Back Guarantee. This program ensures that at the end of its life, the trolley can be recycled, with Hupfer buying it back or arranging local recovery.
Marc Sumner, sales and marketing director for Hupfer UK, added: “We were always confident that variocart would stand out for its load capacity, handling, and ergonomic design. The added sustainability benefits, including our Buy Back Guarantee, make it a game changer in the catering sector, especially for hospitals with high-volume operations.”
