Praticima Laundry Hamper – Hospital Soiled Linen Collection & Sorting Trolley

The Praticima Laundry Hamper is a versatile, durable and practical healthcare linen collection solution designed to support the efficient collection and sorting of soiled laundry in hospitals, nursing homes, residential care facilities and other professional healthcare environments.

Manufactured by Praticima, the range includes single, double, triple and four-bag laundry hampers, providing a choice of configurations for different care environments and linen collection requirements. A wall-mounted version is also available for facilities requiring a fixed collection point.

The mobile hampers feature a robust anodised aluminium alloy frame with a galvanised steel wheel base and lower ABS support shelf. Collection bags are held securely in position using a stainless steel retaining ring with rubber corners, allowing staff to fit and remove bags conveniently through the front opening. The range can be supplied without lids, with manually operated lids, or with lids and foot pedals, depending on the selected model.

For improved organisation, lids are available in white, blue, green, yellow and red, allowing healthcare facilities to establish colour-coded linen collection arrangements. Four 75mm swivelling castors with non-marking, noise-reducing rubber provide practical mobility in suitable indoor environments. Optional accessories include rear pushing handles, textile laundry bags and castor brakes. With its choice of bag capacities, configurations and operating options, the Praticima Laundry Hamper range offers a flexible solution for professional soiled linen collection and segregation.

Available from John Preston, these laundry hampers are suitable for hospitals, care homes and other healthcare facilities seeking practical linen-handling equipment. Contact John Preston for model selection, lid colours, accessories, pricing and availability.

Designed for Healthcare Soiled Linen Collection

The Praticima Laundry Hamper range is designed to help healthcare professionals collect and sort used linen during everyday patient care activities. The hampers provide dedicated collection bag positions, allowing staff to organise laundry according to departmental procedures.

• Used bed sheets
• Pillowcases
• Towels
• Patient clothing requiring laundering
• Used bedding
• Other appropriate healthcare laundry

Multiple-bag configurations can help departments separate linen into designated categories. This may be useful where different laundry streams require separate collection and handling. The correct collection bags and segregation procedures should always be selected according to the healthcare organisation's infection prevention and laundry management policies.

Single, Double, Triple and Four-Bag Configurations

Praticima offers a range of laundry hamper sizes to suit different healthcare environments.

• Single Laundry Hamper: The single-bag model provides a compact collection solution for smaller care areas or individual patient rooms. It is suitable for departments requiring one dedicated laundry collection point.
• Double Laundry Hamper: The double-bag configuration allows staff to separate linen into two collection streams. This may be useful where different categories of laundry are collected separately.
• Triple Laundry Hamper: The triple-bag configuration provides three collection positions within one mobile unit. It is suitable for departments requiring additional linen segregation options.
• Four-Bag Inline Laundry Hamper: The inline model provides four collection positions arranged in a single row. This configuration may be useful where staff require several clearly separated laundry streams.
• Four-Bag Back-to-Back Laundry Hamper: The back-to-back configuration provides four bag positions in a more compact overall length than the inline model. Its wider arrangement may suit facilities where the available floor space or collection workflow favours a back-to-back layout.
• Wall-Mounted Laundry Hamper: The wall-mounted model provides a fixed collection position. It may be suitable for care areas where a mobile hamper is not required or where floor space needs to be kept clear. Wall fixing requirements and compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

Durable Anodised Aluminium Construction

The mobile Praticima Laundry Hampers feature an anodised aluminium alloy structure. This provides a durable framework for supporting collection bags during everyday healthcare use. The wheel base is manufactured from galvanised steel, with an ABS lower shelf providing additional bag support. This construction is designed for regular use in professional care environments.

Secure Bag Retention

Collection bags are held using a stainless steel retaining ring with rubber corners. The retaining arrangement helps keep the bag correctly positioned during routine collection activities. The front-opening design allows staff to fit and remove collection bags conveniently. This can help simplify bag changes during busy care rounds.

Lower ABS Bag Support Shelf

The mobile hampers incorporate a lower ABS shelf. This supports the bottom of the collection bag, helping maintain its position within the trolley frame. The shelf forms part of the hamper's practical bag support system.

Optional Lids for Laundry Collection

The range offers several lid configurations, depending on the selected model.

• Without Lid: An open collection arrangement that provides direct access to the laundry bag.
• With Manual Lid: A hinged lid provides a cover over the collection opening. The lid includes an integrated hinge and rubber elements designed for softer closing.
• With Lid and Foot Pedal: The pedal-operated configuration allows staff to open the lid using a foot control. This can reduce the need to touch the lid during routine linen collection.

Five Available Lid Colours

Praticima offers lids in the following colours:

• White
• Blue
• Green
• Yellow
• Red

Colour-coded lids can help healthcare facilities organise laundry collection according to their own procedures. For example, different colours may be assigned to separate linen categories.

Four 75mm Swivelling Castors

The mobile Praticima Laundry Hampers feature four swivelling castors, each measuring 75mm in diameter. The wheels incorporate non-marking, noise-reducing rubber. This supports convenient movement and positioning in suitable indoor healthcare environments. A compatible castor brake is available as an optional accessory.

Optional Rear Pushing Handle

Praticima offers rear handles for compatible mobile laundry hampers. These provide an additional handling point when moving the trolley between care areas. Separate handle references are available for single, double, triple and four-bag configurations.

Optional Textile Laundry Bags

Compatible textile collection bags are available in a range of colours.

• White
• Blue
• Green
• Yellow
• Red

Coloured textile bags may be useful for facilities implementing defined laundry segregation procedures. The bags should be selected according to the organisation's handling, laundering and infection prevention requirements.

Bag supply should be confirmed when ordering.
