Where do I get HEPACART pricing?
HEPACART pricing is provided direct from the manufacturer upon your request or from one of our distributors (Grainger, Communications Supply Corporation, Graybar OR Acklands Grainger -- Canada. Our various products are targeted specifically to meet your application (ceiling, room isolation, etc.); collection versus filtration; and with various options. We have a program available that can meet every budget. HEPACART is the best value in infection control during construction, maintenance, or renovation. Custom or "spec built" carts are available for certain applications.
What Makes HEPACARTs unique?
HEPACARTs are designed to "protect patients and productivity." Most of our carts are ordered with an embedded negative air machine (NAM) to make them quick to set up, move, and reset. This Negative Air Machine is 3rd party inspected and certified to clean the air to Level - 5, 99.97% or .03 microns. Certified HEPA with a MERV rating of 16. HEPACARTs are made from aluminum and are rugged long term investments. Unlike plastic or plexi-glass, our aluminum carts are "grounded" via the electrical option (option E) and do not "build up" a static charge across its surface endangering electronic circuitry and creating an ion charge that can trap dust and bacteria. Aluminum is resistant to stain and discoloration and easily cleanable with solvents or cleaners. According to contractors and hospitals, HEPACARTs are far superior to vinyl zip lock tents in terms of productivity, safety, and long term value.
Do HEPACARTs collect dust or filter dust?
HEPACART has an entire line of infection control carts. Our base carts collect dust from ceiling work. HEPACARTs can have a connection to an external negative air machine (NAM). HEPACARTs may also contain an embedded NAM that filters air before it's introduced into the space. Option "E" for electrical and "N" for NAM is required for filtration.
