Case study

RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital logistics keep on moving

At The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Shropshire, the Logistics team is enhancing efficiency with the help of MasterMover’s electric tugs. The hospital’s League of Friends funded two SM100+ models, which assist staff in moving everything from medical equipment to food, waste, and linen. These tugs, capable of handling loads up to 1,200kg, have streamlined operations by allowing a single operator to move heavy items, reducing the need for multiple staff members.

Sometimes we can be pulling trolleys with loads of up to 500kg, which is a lot of weight for one person to take.

We would normally need two members of staff for this, but with the tugs we now only need one person to move the equipment.
