Customer care for Wanzl carts and units is further enhanced by our strong relationships with the manufacturer’s logistics and business development team. We maintain a direct line of communication with them, ensuring that you have access to the same support network that we do!
ISO CERTIFIED
ISO certification acts as a third-party seal of approval established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) based on international standards. These standards are crucial for implementing quality management systems for medical supplies. By adhering to ISO certification, you can be confident that the equipment, when used as directed, is safe and positively impacts patient outcomes. Essentially, ISO certification guarantees that medical supplies meet premium quality and safety standards.
Wanzl stands out as one of only two wire brands manufactured in an ISO-certified facility, a crucial distinction when compared to brands that source from multiple plants. This reliability is why Wanzl is among the select few brands chosen by Forsyth Healthcare for Tier 1 sterile storage areas like operating rooms and medical device reprocessing departments.
PRODUCT QUALITY / VALUE
When it comes to quality, Wanzl carts and shelving units are top-notch, rivalling the best in the business. Take, for example, their TSS Wire Storage solutions, which boast a Chrome Plus finish that’s far more durable than standard zinc and chrome-coated finishes. Additionally, Wanzl’s SmartCell™ wire baskets are a game-changer, doing away with the need for plastic bins. These baskets feature a customizable interior, allowing you to effortlessly reconfigure them as your supply needs evolve and grow. Its innovation and durability combined for unmatched reliability.
One standout feature of SmartCell that we truly appreciate is its innovative design, which welds the fine mesh to the outside of the basket frame. This small but significant detail sets it apart from other brands where the mesh is welded to the inside of the frame. By doing so, SmartCell effectively moves wire ends and any potentially sharp edges away from products and hands, greatly reducing the risk of torn packages and staff injuries.
Wanzl carts streamline material handling tasks, making transportation of heavy bulk materials more efficient than ever. With secure mobility carts, you can rest assured that items like medications remain safe and secure throughout transit. These carts are equipped with a 3-point latch and lock hasp, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. Plus, Wanzl’s multi-pick carts, complete with optional flip-down dollies, are perfect for restocking supply areas from floor to floor, ensuring seamless operations and maximizing productivity. It’s all about making your material handling tasks easier, safer, and more efficient.
And let’s not forget about Wanzl’s bulk storage shelving, which is perfect for central supply areas and distribution areas. These units stand at 78 inches in height, making them ideal for common rooms with standard 8-foot ceiling heights. With each shelf capable of holding up to 900 lbs, you can trust that your supplies are securely stored. Plus, the shelves can be positioned flat or angled for gravity feed, adding to their versatility. What’s even better is that no tools are required for installation, and with starters and adders available, you have the flexibility to reconfigure the shelving as your storage requirements evolve.
