Proven Success

The CartCaddyLite electric cart puller can help avoid back strain for many people in the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses, technicians, maintenance workers, and more can benefit from using this piece of equipment to efficiently complete some of their day-to-day tasks, all while avoiding unnecessary workplace injuries.

Improved Safety & Efficiency

Linen carts used to transport linens to and from patient rooms are often very large and difficult to move through the constricted hallways of a nursing home, clinic, or hospital. Pushing carts repeatedly throughout the day can cause chronic neck and back strain and pain for workers. The CartCaddyLite is a perfect solution: it reduces stress and cuts down the risk of workplace injuries.
