A nursing director at a geriatric hospital in Nanjing showed me her medication round workflow: a medicine trolley pushed by one nurse, followed by a second nurse pushing a records trolley stacked with sixty patient charts, each chart in a binder, each binder about three centimeters thick when you included the MAR, the care plan, the wound assessment forms, and the consultant notes. Her records trolley was a repurposed library cart — functional but not purpose-built — and the charts were stacked horizontally, which meant pulling a chart from the bottom of the stack required lifting thirty binders. The 02CHT60D2 was designed so that every chart is equally accessible without moving any other chart.
The AM-02CHT60D2 is our largest medical records trolley — a double-sided unit holding sixty patient charts in vertical slots, thirty on each side. Each slot is an individual compartment, angled at roughly thirty degrees from vertical, with a clear label holder at the top edge. The angle means the chart binder rests against the compartment back rather than slumping forward, and the label is readable from standing height — about one hundred and fifty centimeters from the floor — without the nurse bending over. When you’re reviewing sixty charts on a morning round, the cumulative difference between reading labels at standing height versus bending to read horizontal stacks is measurable in back pain avoided.
The double-sided design means two nurses can access charts simultaneously from opposite sides — one doing medication reconciliation, the other updating care plans — without reaching around each other. In a large ward where the morning shift involves a team huddle around the records trolley, single-sided access becomes a bottleneck. The 02CHT60D2 eliminates that bottleneck by turning the trolley into a mobile workstation that supports team-based charting.
The top surface is a flat ABS work surface, full-width across both sides, large enough for a laptop or tablet, a stack of blank forms, and a hand sanitizer dispenser. The surface has a raised lip on three sides to prevent items from sliding off during movement. Below the chart compartments, a lower shelf provides storage for blank chart binders, form stocks, and administrative supplies. The frame is steel, powder-coated, with four anti-static casters — one hundred fifty millimeters, all locking, central release bar — because a fully loaded sixty-chart trolley weighs about eighty kilograms and needs casters that track straight and lock securely. The push handle is a full-width rail at each end, and the trolley locks via a central key that secures both sides’ chart compartments behind a sliding cover — important for patient confidentiality when the trolley is parked in a corridor during rounds.
The 02CHT60D2 is built for large inpatient wards, medical records departments, and long-term care facilities where the patient census exceeds forty and the paper chart is still the primary documentation medium. If your ward has twenty-five or fewer patients, the 02CHT50AD with fifty-chart single-sided capacity is a more compact and less expensive alternative. But for the nursing unit that runs a morning huddle around the chart trolley and needs every patient’s record accessible without shuffling, the 02CHT60D2’s double-sided, sixty-slot design is purpose-built. Email me your bed count and chart format — I’ll confirm the slot configuration.
