Medical Cart and Mobile Platform Design

HERNETICS designs medical carts, mobile consoles, and articulating mounts for capital equipment, where the cart serves as the system for the medical device. We have developed the chassis, the device housing, and its accessories as one complete system, where weight, cabling, cooling, and user access are resolved together instead of clashing at integration.

A mobile platform is judged on details clinicians feel every day and test labs measure: how hard it is to push down a corridor, whether it crosses a threshold without lifting or lurching, whether it holds still on a ramp when the brakes are set, and whether a loaded monitor arm can swing out without shifting the cart's balance.

We design for center of gravity, caster selection and braking, propulsion force, and arm reach and articulation from the start. We also plan the cable routing, heat venting, and cleanable surfaces into the architecture, and design toward IEC 60601-1 stability and mechanical requirements before the cart ever reaches the test lab.
