Neop Lock Medication Trolley

Praticima Neop Lock Motorised Roller Shutter Trolley – RFID Medication Distribution Trolley

The Praticima Neop Lock Motorised Roller Shutter Trolley is an advanced hospital medication distribution trolley designed to combine secure medication storage, convenient access control and improved working comfort for healthcare professionals.

Featuring an innovative motorised roller shutter with Mifare RFID badge access, the Neop Lock trolley allows authorised staff to open and close the medication storage compartment without manually operating a conventional shutter. This practical system helps reduce repetitive movements during medication rounds while providing controlled access to the trolley's contents. An integrated automatic closing function secures the trolley after one minute of inactivity, helping reduce the risk of medication supplies being left accessible. The motorised shutter takes approximately five seconds to open or close, providing convenient access during busy medication distribution routines.

Designed for hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities and clinical departments, the Praticima Neop Lock trolley supports professional medication management and patient care workflows. The trolley features a durable one-piece welded aluminium structure with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment, providing a robust framework for regular healthcare use. Its practical ABS/PMMA thermoplastic work surface provides space for appropriate medication-related tasks. Integrated LED lighting illuminates the trolley's interior when opened, while a separate 5V LED reading lamp with three brightness settings supports staff working in lower-light conditions. The trolley is fitted with four 125mm castors, including two braked castors, and four protective non-marking EVA bumpers for manoeuvrability and protection in busy clinical environments.

For additional flexibility, the Neop Lock trolley can be configured with compatible medication storage accessories, including Modulo XL dispensers, storage bins, IT holders and additional shelves. An optional EasyMoove motorisation system is also available, providing powered assistance to reduce the effort required when moving loaded equipment.

With its combination of electronic access control, automatic closure and ergonomic design, the Praticima Neop Lock Motorised Roller Shutter Trolley is a practical solution for healthcare organisations seeking improved medication security and staff convenience.

Available from John Preston, the Neop Lock trolley can be specified with suitable storage accessories and additional options to meet the requirements of individual healthcare facilities.

Motorised Roller Shutter for Easier Medication Access

The Neop Lock trolley features a motorised shutter that opens and closes using authorised RFID badges. Unlike conventional manually operated medication trolley shutters, the motorised system reduces the need for staff to repeatedly pull the door open or push it closed. This can be particularly beneficial during medication rounds involving frequent access to stored supplies. The system is designed to support more ergonomic working practices while maintaining controlled access.

Convenient RFID Badge Operation

To operate the Neop Lock system, staff activate the control unit and present an authorised badge to the reader. The shutter then opens or closes according to its current position. The system uses Mifare RFID technology for contactless badge recognition. This allows healthcare organisations to manage access for authorised users without relying on a conventional mechanical key.

Automatic Closing After One Minute

One of the most important features of the Neop Lock trolley is its timed automatic closure. When the shutter is left open and the trolley remains inactive, the system automatically closes the shutter after approximately one minute. This helps reduce the likelihood of the medication storage area being unintentionally left open. The automatic closing system is particularly useful during busy medication rounds, when staff may be interrupted or need to move between tasks.

The feature supports medication security procedures but does not replace staff responsibility for checking that medicines are appropriately secured.

Individual Badge Access Management

The Neop Lock system allows access to be managed using authorised badges. Praticima describes a system in which master badges can be used to associate user badges with individual trolleys.

Depending on the configuration, a user badge can be authorised for more than one trolley. This provides flexibility for healthcare facilities operating multiple medication distribution units.

• Controlled access for authorised staff
• Reduced dependence on shared mechanical keys
• Flexible badge allocation
• Convenient contactless operation
• Improved management of trolley access

The system should not be described as providing a complete electronic audit trail unless the required logging capability has been confirmed separately.

Designed to Improve Staff Ergonomics

Medication distribution frequently involves repeated opening and closing of trolley storage compartments. The Praticima Neop Lock system reduces the need for these manual movements through its powered shutter, helping to improve working comfort and reduce repetitive handling during medication rounds. The trolley's automatic operation is particularly useful for healthcare professionals who regularly access stored medication supplies throughout their shifts.

Integrated Interior LED Lighting

The trolley includes an integrated LED lighting strip. This illuminates the internal storage compartment when the shutter opens, making it easier for staff to view and locate stored items. Interior lighting can be particularly useful in areas with limited ambient lighting.

Adjustable LED Reading Lamp

In addition to the internal lighting, the Neop Lock trolley features a 5V LED reading lamp. The lamp provides three adjustable brightness levels. This can support appropriate medication-related tasks during evening or night-time care routines.

Rechargeable Battery Operation

The motorised shutter system is powered by a rechargeable lead-acid battery.

• Battery voltage: 12V
• Battery capacity: 10Ah
• Battery technology: Lead-acid
• Charging time: Approximately four hours
• Autonomy: Approximately five hours of continuous operation

Battery performance will depend on usage, battery condition and operating circumstances.

Motorised Shutter Performance

The Neop Lock system uses a 24V DC geared motor. The manufacturer's technical documentation specifies:

• Motor speed: 80 RPM
• Nominal current: 1.4A
• Shutter opening time: Approximately five seconds
• Shutter closing time: Approximately five seconds

The system incorporates an end-of-travel sensor for controlled shutter positioning.

Anti-Pinch Protection

Praticima identifies an anti-pinch system as part of the motorised shutter design. If an internal accessory is extended and obstructs the closing shutter, the system is designed to stop rather than continue closing against the obstruction. The manufacturer also describes a shutter release mechanism for degraded operating conditions. These features support safe operation but do not remove the need for staff to keep hands and objects clear of moving components.

Durable Aluminium Construction

The Neop Lock trolley features a continuously welded, one-piece aluminium structure. The casing is treated with an epoxy anti-corrosion finish. This provides a durable framework designed for professional healthcare environments. The trolley is suitable for regular use in medication distribution and clinical supply workflows.

Thermoplastic Work Surface

The trolley includes an ABS/PMMA thermoplastic worktop. This provides a practical working surface for appropriate medication-related activities. The worktop should be cleaned using manufacturer-approved methods and in accordance with local infection prevention procedures.

Four 125mm Castors

The Neop Lock trolley features four 125mm castors. The manufacturer's specification identifies:

• Two braked castors
• Two swivel castors
• Double locking of the wheel and swivel mechanism on the braked castors
• Non-marking rubber tyres
• Polyamide castor supports

This arrangement provides practical mobility and controlled positioning within suitable healthcare environments.

Protective EVA Bumpers

Four round, non-marking EVA bumpers help protect the trolley and surrounding equipment against minor contact during movement. These are particularly useful in hospital wards and busy care environments where trolleys may need to be manoeuvred around furniture and other equipment.

Configurable Internal Medication Storage

The Neop Lock trolley can be configured with compatible internal storage components.

• Modulo XL medication dispensers
• Storage bins
• Sliding shelves
• Folding shelves
• Additional compatible storage accessories

The manufacturer's technical sheet describes configurations with:

• 19 levels using standard 40mm dividers
• 11 levels using optimised 62mm dividers

The actual storage capacity depends on the selected internal fittings.

Optional EasyMoove Powered Assistance

For healthcare organisations seeking additional ergonomic benefits, the Neop Lock trolley can be equipped with Praticima's optional EasyMoove motorised wheel system. EasyMoove provides powered assistance to help reduce the physical effort required to move loaded equipment. This may be particularly useful in hospitals where medication trolleys need to travel long distances between departments.

Optional IT Holder

An IT holder is available for compatible trolley configurations. This may be useful for healthcare facilities using electronic medication administration records or other digital medication management systems. Electronic devices and software are not included unless specified separately.

Optional Bag Holder

A compatible bag holder can be fitted to provide additional convenience during medication rounds. The appropriate accessory should be selected according to the intended use and manufacturer's compatibility requirements.

Optional Sliding and Folding Shelves

Praticima offers compatible sliding and folding shelves. These can provide additional temporary working space when required. The selected shelf must be used within the manufacturer's loading limits.

Integrated Bottle Holder

The Neop Lock trolley includes a bottle holder as part of its standard equipment. This provides a convenient location for a suitable bottle during clinical activities.

Accessory Rails

The trolley includes:

• One small standardised accessory rail attached to the casing
• Two or three additional standardised rails, depending on configuration

These allow compatible accessories to be fitted to the trolley.

Colour Options

The Neop Lock trolley is available with coloured identification strips. The manufacturer's product page identifies:

• Magenta pink
• Apple green
• Sky blue

The strips are manufactured from 70-micron calendered PVC vinyl film with acrylic adhesive. Colour selection should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.
