Transport carts are designed to be lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for easy maneuverability within medical facilities, essentially between theatre and reprocessing departments. The weight of the cart is balanced to ensure stability while being light enough to be pushed or pulled effortlessly by healthcare staff. This balance is essential for navigating through tight spaces and around corners without compromising the safety of the endoscopes.

The design of transport carts is tailored to provide maximum ease of handling. They often feature ergonomic handles that reduce strain on the user, making it easier to transport endoscopes over long distances. The carts are equipped with smooth-rolling, lockable casters or wheels that enhance maneuverability and ensure the cart stays in place when needed.

Transport carts are built to withstand the rigors of daily use in a medical environment. They are constructed from high-quality materials that resist wear and tear, ensuring long-term durability. The carts are designed to protect the endoscopes from damage during transport, with dedicated instrument trays that provide secure storage.

Ergonomics play a significant role in the design of transport carts. Features such as well positioned handles and lockable casters/wheels are included to enhance user comfort and safety. Lockable casters prevent the cart from moving unintentionally, reducing the risk of accidents. This feature is particularly important when transporting delicate medical equipment like endoscopes.

Multiple drawer carts are ideal for additional storage and organisation. These carts come with several drawers that can be used to store various endoscopy accessories and consumables. This organisation helps with quick access to necessary items, improving efficiency during medical procedures.

Different sized carts can also be utilised and stored differently.  For example, some carts are designed to fit neatly underneath department counters for convenient storage when not in use, other trolleys are built to the same height of countertops, allowing for additional seamless bench space.  Tall, maneuverable trolleys allow for large volume endoscope storage, providing the healthcare facility with additional clean inventory, in addition to what their endoscope drying cabinets provide.

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in medical settings. Transport carts now feature sustainable draw liners and tray covers that reduce plastic waste. For example, reversible upper liners can be used to cover endoscopes, with one side indicating cleanliness and the other side indicating that the endoscope is dirty. This system not only helps in maintaining hygiene but also supports environmental sustainability goals for healthcare facilities.

To ensure the cleanliness of endoscopes, transport carts often use color-coded liners and covers. For instance, a green liner might indicate a clean endoscope, while a red liner indicates a dirty one. This visual system helps healthcare providers quickly identify the status of the endoscope, ensuring that only clean equipment is used for procedures.
