FAQ

Frequently asked questions about mobile IT carts

Short answers to the questions we hear most often. Anything missing? Just ask us.

What is a mobile IT cart?

A mobile IT cart — also called a computer cart or workstation on wheels — is a height-adjustable workstation on castors that carries a monitor or all-in-one PC, keyboard, scanner and optionally a battery power supply. It brings IT to where the work happens: at the bedside, at the machine or at the shelf.

Which industries use lean IT carts?

Hospitals and care providers have used lean carts for more than 25 years. The same carts work in manufacturing, warehouse and logistics, laboratories, retail and hospitality, education and the public sector.

How long does the battery last?

The lean LFP power supply has 720 Wh and powers a typical cart for more than 12 hours; a full charge takes under 3 hours. Runtime depends on the connected devices. The LiFePO4 batteries withstand up to 5,000 charging cycles.

Can I test a cart before buying?

Yes. Request a trial unit from our demo pool and test it under real conditions — ideal for comparing several models.

Can existing carts be retrofitted with IT?

Yes. We convert a prototype in our workshop, you test it, and we retrofit the remaining carts at your site at a fixed price. The carts need at least two conductive castors.

Which computers and software are supported?

Almost any client: Lenovo, Dell, HP, LG and more, all-in-one panel PCs with hot-swap batteries and thin clients with IGEL OS. As an IGEL Managed Service Provider we also offer flexible IGEL licensing.

Do you deliver outside Germany?

Our service team works on site in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For projects in other countries, contact us — we will agree on delivery and support with you.

What warranty and maintenance options are available?

An optional 5-year warranty is available for the carts; wall lifts and support arms come with a 5-year warranty. For maintenance and repair we provide spare parts and repair kits and come on site when needed.

Are the carts suitable for hygiene-sensitive areas?

Yes. Surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect, input devices are disinfectable, many models are fanless and SilentCarts have an antimicrobial coating. Wall lifts and support arms are certified to IEC 60601-1.

How do I get a quote?

Use the contact form or call +49 202 43040 820. With more than 1,000 configuration options, we put together the right cart for your requirements and send you a tailored quote.

Can the carts be leased?

Yes. Carts, wall workstations, IT hardware and power supplies can be leased instead of bought — including the IT that is installed on the cart. We prepare the offer together with our leasing partners; term and instalments depend on the configuration and the number of carts. Ask for it with your quote request.
