Why do Scout castors convince in hospitals?
Scout combines safety, flexibility, and hygiene. Specifically developed as a trolley castor for automated guided vehicles (AGV), it also meets the special ergonomic requirements in manual use, especially in clinics.
Automatic directional reverse
Prevents uncontrolled swiveling on the AGV through self-aligning castors.
Safe navigation despite narrow paths – self-aligning castors for automated guided vehicles
In automated environments such as hospitals or production facilities, automated guided vehicles (AGV) often reach their limits: Narrow corridors, elevators, and parking slots frequently become problematic. If the castors of the trolleys rotate uncontrollably during transport by the AGV, it can lead to collisions and damage to people and objects.
Scout by TENTE was specifically developed for these challenges: Its super-slim design allows the AGV to safely maneuver under the transport trolleys even in confined conditions.
The automatic directional reverse ensures that the castors align themselves independently during transport. This prevents uncontrolled swiveling and protrusion of the castors. The entire transport process remains precise, safe, and efficient.
The result: A smooth workflow, fewer downtimes, and reduction of accident risk – ideal for automated logistics processes in sensitive areas such as hospitals.
Easy steering, simple locking – ergonomic safety in manual use
In clinics and manufacturing, heavy transport trolleys often need to be moved manually and positioned precisely. High roll and swivel resistance, uncontrolled rolling away, and complex operation cost time and effort – and increase the risk of accidents.
Scout combines easy steering even with heavy transport trolleys with an optimised locking system based on the ballpoint pen principle. The push-push mechanism is conveniently activated with a foot tap. This way, caregivers and service personnel maintain full control even under time pressure. The Scout castor is therefore optimal for both manual use and for trolleys that are moved by automated guided vehicles (AGV).
Ergonomic performance in detail:
- Reduced rolling and swivel resistance for noticeable relief on the users
- Optional: soft wheels for vibration reduction and protection of sensitive goods
- Easy steering behavior – precise maneuverability even with high loads
- Simple, secure handling for maximum process safety
- Optional: Low-Noise version for noise-sensitive (hospital) areas
With this combination of optimised locking and easy steering behavior, the Scout castor becomes a true game changer in manual use – for efficient processes, more safety, and better ergonomics.
Hygiene, maintenance, safety – Operate castors for AGV reliably in everyday clinical settings
Transport solutions in hospitals must be fully washable, run reliably even after frequent cleaning cycles, and – depending on the area of use – be electrically conductive and available as ESD-certified. At the same time, maintenance should be plannable, quick, and clean. Our castors for AGV reliably meet these requirements.
Advantages at a glance:
- Fully washable: Housing and wheels are designed for the hospital washing process.
- Optionally electrically conductive and ESD-certified: Versions available for dissipating electrostatic charge.
- Smooth operation thanks to sealed ball bearings: Prevents the ingress of dirt, water, and dust – even after repeated cleaning.
- Low maintenance due to long-term grease: significantly extended maintenance intervals due to highly heat resistant and wash-proof special grease.
Your transport trolleys remain hygienically compliant, run smoothly and reliably and are quickly ready for use again. This reduces downtime, conserves resources in clinical operations, and increases safety for staff and patients.
