The aluminum frame gets an electrophoresis coating before assembly, which basically seals it against corrosion better than a standard paint job would, and it's one of those details we've found matters in humid hospital environments.

We're seeing most buyers go with the 10-hook IV pole configuration even though the tray itself handles 100KG total load, since the drawers each take 25KG—that's usually enough for a full shift's worth of supplies without overloading the castors. The soft-close mechanism on those zinc-coated steel drawers is actually pretty satisfying to use; it doesn't slam shut even when you're rushing between rooms. You'll notice the ABS work surface has a molded rim around the edge, which stops small vials or syringes from rolling off, and that's a detail you don't always think to ask about until you've lost something expensive on the floor.

The wheels are 100mm with two braked castors, but honestly if you're working in a tight ICU bay you might want to check whether the lock engages firmly enough for your flooring type—some epoxy surfaces can make them slip slightly. Anyway, the waste bins and needle box come standdard, and the extension table is useful for setting up a temporary prep area.

It's not designed for heavy-duty crash cart use though; the 100KG limit is fine for routine medication rounds but don't load it with multiple fluid pumps and a defibrillator, because the aluminum alloy frame—while strong—has a different flex profile than steel. Also, the PC dividers in drawers are detachable, so you can reconfigure them for different vial sizes, which is handy when you're switching between adult and pediatric stock.

Custom color options are available, but lead time on those is usually 3-4 weeks or so, while standard white or light gray ships within about 10 days. Teh ABS surface cleans up well with typical hospital wipes, and the electrophoresis coating means the alumnum won't show that white powdery corrosion you sometimes see on cheaper frames after a year or two of daily use.
