Longreach House Psychiatric Hospital
No more uphill struggles thanks to MasterMover
Providing materials handling solutions to hospitals is nothing new to MasterMover. So when Longreach House Psychiatric Hospital contacted the materials handling experts recently they were impressed to find a pedestrian operated tug unit that could solve two issues they had with roll cage movement. Like many hospitals Longreach House had difficulty moving roll cages in confined corridors but also needed to solve the problem of moving cages manually on inclines – an obvious Health & Safety issue. The hospitals’ Locality Manager, Juliette Prouse, said ‘The MasterTug has aided in minimizing risk of injury to staff when moving laundry cages whereas before purchasing the unit, rollcages were moved by hand and relied on the users own strength to move them up and down slopes’.
The design of the product was another reason for buying the MasterTug. Juliette says ‘The MasterTug allows staff to manoeuvre cages up and down an incline which has limited access. The compact size of the equipment was suitable in helping us overcome our access problem’. One of the main features of the MasterTug is that it can rotate 90 degrees either side of the payload allowing the conveyance to turn on its axis and manoeuvre with ease. It is this environment where the MasterTug comes into its own, solving the manoeuvring problem.
