Medical Trolleys
Medical Trolleys for Healthcare, Beauty & Hospitality Settings
A medical trolley is a mobile, multi-tiered piece of equipment designed to move instruments, supplies, or equipment safely and efficiently through a working environment. Think of it as a step up from a serving trolley: built with the same idea of multiple shelves or levels to keep things organised, but constructed to a higher standard, with smooth-rolling castors for tight corridors and surfaces designed to be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
While the name suggests hospitals and clinics, medical-grade trolleys turn up in plenty of other settings too: beauty and aesthetics clinics, tattoo studios, veterinary practices, laboratories, schools and childcare centres, hospitality and event first aid stations, and any business that needs a hygienic, mobile, well-organised way to move supplies around.
Platinum Health Supply offers a comprehensive range of medical trolleys for clinics, hospitals, aged care facilities, home care, and businesses across Australia, featuring trusted brands including Pacific Medical.
What Is a Medical Trolley?
A medical trolley is defined by two things: manoeuvrability and structure.
Manoeuvrability means a trolley is built to move easily through indoor spaces, often tight ones. Ergonomic handles, smooth-rolling castors, and a compact footprint let staff reposition a trolley between rooms, around treatment chairs, or through narrow corridors without a struggle.
Structure means a trolley is organised across multiple levels, typically shelves or drawers, designed to hold smaller or lighter items in a way that keeps them accessible and visible. Unlike a single flat surface, a trolley lets you separate instruments, products, or supplies by type or by stage of a task, so everything has its place and nothing gets lost in a pile.
Whether you need a compact powder coated instrument trolley for a GP practice, a stainless steel trolley for a hospital ward, a hygienic setup for a beauty salon, or a height-adjustable Mayo trolley for a procedure room, you'll find a solution built for the job.
Why Choose Our Medical Trolleys?
Every trolley in our range is selected for its construction quality, ease of cleaning, and practical design. Pacific Medical trolleys are manufactured using high-grade materials including 304-grade stainless steel, powder coated steel frames, and ABS components, all chosen to withstand daily heavy use while supporting hygiene and infection control standards.
Key features across our trolley range include smooth-rolling lockable castors for safe manoeuvrability, spacious drawers and shelves for organised storage, safety rails to secure items during transport, and easy-clean surfaces that support regular disinfection. Many models also include accessories such as waste bins, IV pole attachments, and extension tables.
Who Uses Our Medical Trolleys?
Our trolleys serve a wide range of healthcare professionals and facilities, including public and private hospitals, GP clinics, dental surgeries, physiotherapy and allied health practices, aged care and residential care facilities, veterinary clinics, pathology collection centres, and day surgery centres.
They're also a practical fit for businesses outside traditional healthcare:
- Beauty therapists and aesthetics clinics needing a hygienic, mobile setup for tools and products
- Tattoo and piercing studios with strict sterilisation requirements
- Schools and childcare centres stocking first aid and hygiene supplies
- Hospitality venues running first aid or event medical stations
- Laboratories or research facilities needing durable, easy-clean storage on wheels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a powder coated trolley and a stainless steel trolley?
What is the difference between a powder coated trolley and a stainless steel trolley?
Powder coated trolleys use a steel frame with a baked-on powder coating that provides a durable, chip-resistant finish. They are a cost-effective option for general clinical use in GP clinics, dental practices, and allied health settings. Stainless steel trolleys are manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, which offers superior corrosion resistance and can withstand cleaning with harsh hospital-grade disinfectants. Stainless steel is the preferred material for high-infection-risk environments such as hospital wards, operating theatres, and sterile processing areas.
What size medical trolley do I need for my clinic?
What size medical trolley do I need for my clinic?
The right size depends on your available space and intended use. Single trolleys (typically 50cm x 50cm) suit smaller treatment rooms and consultation areas. Double trolleys (approximately 80cm x 50cm) offer more surface area and storage, making them ideal for procedure rooms and hospital wards. For compact spaces, a Mayo instrument trolley provides an adjustable-height work surface with a minimal footprint.

How do I clean and maintain a medical trolley?
How do I clean and maintain a medical trolley?
Wipe all surfaces regularly with hospital-grade disinfectant, paying attention to handles, rails, and drawer pulls. For stainless steel trolleys, avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. Inspect castors periodically to ensure they roll smoothly and lock securely. Lubricate drawer slides and moving parts as needed. Check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, and address issues promptly to maintain hygiene standards and extend the life of the trolley.

What features should I look for in a medication trolley?
A quality medication trolley should include a central locking system to secure all drawers during transport, soft-closing drawers to reduce noise during ward rounds, ABS drawer dividers for organised medication storage, an extension table for preparing doses, a waste bin for safe disposal, and dual castors with brakes for stable, smooth manoeuvrability. Pacific Medical medication trolleys include all of these features as standard.
