Efficient laundry logistics play a crucial role in maintaining hospital hygiene and operational flow. From bedsheets and patient gowns to towels and surgical drapes, hospitals generate a constant volume of linen that needs to be collected, cleaned, and redistributed without delay.
However, moving multiple linen trolleys between wards, laundry rooms, and storage areas is a physically demanding task. Porters and housekeeping staff are often required to push or pull heavy, wheeled loads through long corridors, up ramps, and around tight corners multiple times a day. Not only is this time-consuming, but it also poses a risk of musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive strain.

Tractive Power’s battery-powered tugs are a smarter way to move linen trolleys across your hospital site. Compact, pedestrian-operated, and easy to use, our electric tugs eliminate the need for manual pushing, significantly reducing the risk of staff injury.
Key Benefits:
- Move multiple trolleys at once, reducing the number of trips between departments
