All hospitals strive to provide their patients with the best care possible. Aside from hiring talented and intelligent doctors, hospitals look for staff that can empathize with the sick patient and their family and most importantly provide TLC, or some tender, loving, care. They look for this type of employee because they know that creating a warm and caring environment in the hospital can go a long way in helping the sick recover.
Moods are “infectious”. If someone smiles at you, you’ll feel better and pass that goodwill around as well. As such, it probably makes a lot of sense to ensure that all hospital staff, including maintenance staff and orderlies, are in excellent spirits.
For these employees, an honest day’s work involves pushing and pulling heavy linen and laundry carts, garbage carts, food carts, medical supply carts and more. There is a tremendous amount of physical strain that these employees need to bear and of course it can impact their mood. Additionally, all the pulling and pushing can cause staff charged with these tasks, significant back pain or even injury. This will definitely not bring a smile to their lips, and at best will produce sullen and unfriendly workers.
Imagine if they were not as tired or achy from all their strenuous labor. They would likely be more cheerful, sharing smiles and “hellos” with the doctors, nurses and patients they pass in the hallways. This will lift the mood in the hospital making everyone feel better.
DJ Products provides ergonomic, electric pullers, pushers and carts that are specifically designed with the hospital setting in mind. Powered dirty linen carts, motorized clean linen wire cart and more are some of the specialized products that can help enhance the atmosphere at your hospital.

Health care may be one of the few bright spots in the American economy. With the Baby Boomers just beginning to enter the age of aches and pains (otherwise known as retirement), the health care industry is expected to be booming for some decades to come. Health care jobs top the list of most employment recruiters and are drawing huge numbers of future workers to training programs. No job is recession-proof, but health care comes close.
What’s interesting is that the Boomers lining up for treatment also comprise the largest number of current health care workers. The poor economy has encouraged many nurses, aides and other health care workers to forego retirement and remain on the job. The flexible and part-time schedules available in many segments of the health care industry have made it possible for workers to balance work responsibilities with the need to care for children, aging parents or a disabled spouse, further increasing the average age of experienced health care workers. The aging of the health care workforce means for hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living centers and other health care employers must accommodate the changing physical needs of their workers.
Ergonomically-designed powered carts allow workers of any age or size to easily accomplish necessary tasks without risk of the often debilitating musculoskeletal injuries that can occur from pushing and pulling heavy carts. A national leader in the design and manufacture of ergonomic motored carts and tugs, DJ Products offers several carts specifically designed to navigate crowded hospital corridors and maneuver in cramped hospital rooms.
- Housekeeping Cart. Eliminates strain from pushing heavy carts filled with cleaning supplies or linens.
- Dirty Linen Cart. Eliminates pain and muscle strain from maneuvering heavy soiled linens through rooms and hallways.

No one likes to take out the trash. At home, it’s the bottom feeder on the chore list. At work, it’s the back breaker no one wants to tackle. But taking out the trash is one of life’s necessary evils. However, the backache and muscle pains that make workers grumble when given trash duty can be avoided. Ergonomically-designed dumpster movers and waste container pullers eliminate the potential risk of musculoskeletal injury from trash removal operations.
A nationally recognized leader in the manufacture of ergonomic material handling equipment, DJ Products makes two products specifically designed to eliminate the pain and strain of pushing heavy trash and recycling containers and dumpsters. Compact and easy to maneuver, these products can be used to move trash receptacles through buildings, across plant floors, through parking areas or to street level for curbside pick up.
- WasteCaddy Dumpster Mover makes it easy to reposition heavy dumpsters and recycling containers from inside plant areas to outdoor removal sites, move dumpsters from underground parking lots to trash compactor and bailing sites, or transport dumpsters to street level for curbside pick up. The versatile dumpster mover makes it possible for a single employee to move heavy receptacles that require the manual muscle of three employees. DJ Products’ battery powered waste mover can maneuver dumpsters from 500 to 10,000 pounds.
- WasteCaddyLite waste container puller is designed to pull heavy waste containers down hallways or narrow aisles to consolidation points. Extremely maneuverable in tight spaces, DJ Products’ battery operated waste puller can move containers up to 10,000 pounds. Use to move waste containers at apartment or condominium sites or through hospitals to refuse removal points.
Utilizing DJ Products’ ergonomically-designed dumpster movers and waste container pullers may not increase volunteers for trash duty, but they’ll certainly eliminate complaints about sore backs and achy muscles.
