New ergonomic and reliable hospital meal trolley.

The Privas Hospital Center (CHPA) has renewed its fleet of meal trolleys, introducing seven new pieces of equipment designed to improve the daily lives of patients and staff. This investment aims to enhance reliability, ergonomics, and maneuverability.

Seven new meal trolleys have been acquired by the CHPA to significantly improve patient care conditions and the working environment for healthcare teams. They are distinguished by their increased reliability and ergonomics.
Notable improvements include the maintenance of hot and cold temperatures throughout distribution. They also feature computerized temperature monitoring, ensuring better traceability and food safety.
Weight has been considerably reduced, from over 110 kg for older models to less than 40 kg for the new trolleys. This weight reduction, combined with better maneuverability, greatly facilitates staff movement within the facility.
The total investment for this modernization amounts to €128,000, plus an additional €27,000 for the adaptation of the dedicated space to house these new trolleys.
