Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ZH236 differ from the XA236 stainless service cart?
The ZH236 is a lighter-duty cart (600 lb, 20-gauge shelves, 4" all-swivel thermorubber casters) designed for quiet hospital and food service transport of medium-weight materials. The XA236 is heavier-duty (1,200 lb, 16-gauge shelves, 5" urethane casters with 2 rigid/2 swivel) for higher-capacity service applications. The ZH236 is more maneuverable in tight spaces; the XA236 tracks straighter for longer runs.
Why are thermorubber casters used on the ZH236?
Thermorubber casters provide a softer, quieter ride than urethane, making them preferred for hospital environments where noise reduction is important. The 4" all-swivel configuration allows the cart to move in any direction without turning, ideal for tight corridors and small rooms.
What do the corner bumper guards protect?
The bumper guards on all four corners protect walls, doorframes, and equipment from impact during maneuvering — particularly important in hospital corridors and food service kitchens where the cart is frequently pushed through doorways and around corners.
Can 2-rigid/2-swivel casters be specified instead of all-swivel?
Yes — a 2-rigid/2-swivel configuration is available as an option for applications where straight-line tracking is preferred over omnidirectional maneuverability, such as longer corridor runs or loading dock transfers.
