Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley – Stainless Steel Soiled Linen & Waste Collection Trolley

The Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley is a professional mobile bag holder designed for the hygienic collection and transportation of soiled linen and suitable waste in hospitals, nursing homes, residential care facilities and other healthcare environments.

Manufactured by Praticima, the trolley combines a durable 18/10 stainless steel frame with a foot-pedal-operated clamp closure, providing a practical solution for collecting used linen while helping to minimise unnecessary handling of collection bags. Its hermetic clamp closure is designed to help reduce unpleasant odours and the risk of airborne biological contamination associated with soiled linen and waste collection.

The trolley features non-slip clamps that securely hold the collection bag in position, together with a removable lower ABS shelf with raised edges to support the bag.Four 75mm swivelling castors, including two with brakes, provide convenient mobility and positioning in suitable indoor healthcare environments.

Available in Small and Large sizes, the Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley accommodates different bag capacities to suit the requirements of individual departments. The Small model is designed for bags from 40 to 80 litres, while the Large model accommodates bags from 70 to 120 litres. Both sizes are available with a standard pedal or an optional dual-effect pedal, which provides opening and locking functionality.

The trolley can also be attached to compatible Praticima laundry hampers, linen distribution trolleys and room trolleys using appropriate fixing accessories. This allows healthcare staff to collect soiled linen or suitable waste while carrying out other care and linen distribution activities. With its robust stainless steel construction, enclosed bag closure and practical mobility, the Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley is a versatile solution for professional healthcare linen collection.

Available from John Preston, the trolley is suitable for hospitals, care homes and healthcare facilities seeking an efficient and hygienic collection system. Contact John Preston for model selection, accessory options, pricing and availability.

Designed for Hygienic Soiled Linen Collection

The Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley is designed to help healthcare staff collect used linen and suitable waste during everyday care activities. The trolley supports a collection bag within a robust stainless steel frame, while the clamp mechanism helps keep the bag opening closed when not in use. This arrangement can help improve the organisation of soiled linen collection in busy healthcare environments. Typical applications include collecting:

• Used bed sheets
• Soiled pillowcases
• Used towels
• Patient clothing requiring laundering
• Other appropriate healthcare laundry
• Suitable non-sharp waste, where permitted by the facility's waste procedures

The trolley should be used with collection bags appropriate to the material being handled. Clinical waste, infectious waste and other regulated waste streams must be managed according to the healthcare organisation's applicable procedures and legal requirements.

Hermetic Clamp Closure

One of the principal features of the Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley is its hermetic clamp closure. The clamp mechanism is designed to close around the collection bag opening, helping to limit the release of odours and airborne contamination. Praticima identifies the closure system as a way to contribute to reducing the risk of air-biocontamination.

• Helps contain unpleasant odours

• Reduces unnecessary exposure of the bag opening

• Supports hygienic collection procedures

• Helps keep the collection bag closed between uses

• Provides a practical closure system for healthcare environments

The closure should not be regarded as a substitute for appropriate infection prevention procedures, personal protective equipment or suitable waste segregation.

Foot-Pedal Operation

The trolley incorporates a foot-operated pedal mechanism. This allows healthcare staff to operate the clamp closure without needing to manually open the bag at its upper edge. Foot-pedal operation can be particularly useful during routine care activities when staff need to deposit used linen efficiently. The pedal mechanism provides convenient access to the collection bag while supporting practical handling procedures.

Optional Dual-Effect Pedal

Both trolley sizes are available with an optional dual-effect pedal.

• Opening functionality
• Locking functionality

This offers an additional operating option for departments requiring a pedal mechanism that can open and lock the clamp. The dual-effect pedal is available as a separate model configuration and should be selected when ordering.

Durable 18/10 Stainless Steel Frame

The Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley features a frame manufactured from 18/10 stainless steel. This provides a robust structure suitable for regular use in professional healthcare environments. The stainless steel construction supports everyday movement, handling and cleaning according to the manufacturer's instructions. The trolley is designed to provide a stable framework for holding compatible collection bags.

Non-Slip Bag Clamps

The trolley features non-slip clamps designed to hold the collection bag securely. These help prevent the bag from slipping out of position during routine use. The clamps form part of the trolley's closure mechanism, helping keep the bag opening properly positioned. This is particularly important where bags are frequently opened and closed throughout the working day.

Removable Lower ABS Shelf

A removable lower shelf manufactured from ABS plastic is included. The shelf features raised edges and provides lower support for the collection bag. Its removable design allows it to be taken out when appropriate for cleaning or maintenance. This arrangement provides a practical support surface within the trolley frame.

Integrated Bag-Closing Tool Support

The trolley includes a hook support for a compatible special tool used to close collection bags. This allows the tool to be stored conveniently on the trolley when required. The manufacturer identifies the hook support as a standard feature, but the supply of the closing tool itself should be confirmed separately.

Four 75mm Swivelling Castors

Four Protective Bumpers

Four round bumpers are fitted to the trolley. These help protect the trolley and surrounding furniture from minor contact during everyday movement. The bumpers are particularly useful in busy hospital corridors and patient care areas where equipment is frequently repositioned.

Compatible with Praticima Linen Handling Equipment

The Praticima Clamp Collection Trolley can be attached to selected Praticima linen-handling products.

• Linen distribution trolleys

Depending on the equipment, the trolley may be attached using a fixed or removable connection system. This allows care staff to combine appropriate linen distribution and collection activities during a single journey.
