Efficient waste management is vital for maintaining hygiene and safety across hospitals and healthcare facilities. Whether it’s general refuse or clinical waste, bins need to be moved regularly and reliably between wards, theatres, disposal points, and external collection areas.
However, transporting heavy waste bins, especially in older hospitals with ramps, narrow corridors, or uneven flooring can be a physically demanding task. Staff often face strain from repeatedly pushing or pulling loaded bins, which increases the risk of injury and can lead to slower turnaround times.
A Safer, More Efficient Alternative
Tractive Power’s battery-powered tugs offer a safe, simple way to move clinical and general waste bins. Pedestrian-operated and compact in design, our electric tugs reduce the physical strain placed on porters and facilities teams while improving waste-handling efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Transport heavy waste bins with ease, even on inclines or uneven surfaces
- Reduce manual handling risks, protecting staff from strain and fatigue
- Operate safely in tight corridors and busy service routes
- Minimise hygiene risks, with fewer staff handling waste manually
