PVC Single Bag Hamper with Foot Pedal for Healthcare Laundry

Managing contaminated linens and medical waste in clinical environments demands a solution that prevents cross-contamination while reducing staff strain from repeated lifting. This foot-pedal operated PVC hamper streamlines infection control protocols with hands-free operation, reinforced mobility, and heavy-duty construction designed for continuous use in hospitals, nursing homes, and medical facilities.

Key Features

• Foot pedal activation allows hands-free lid opening to maintain sterile technique during soiled linen handling
• Front zipper opening eliminates the need to lift heavy loads over the rim, reducing injury risk for housekeeping staff
• Reinforced threaded stem casters (3" x 1.25") provide smooth transport across tile, vinyl, and carpeted surfaces under full load
• Marine-grade wire frame with floor plate supports isolation liners and leakproof bags to contain fluid-saturated materials
• High-impact plastic lid with integrated handle shields contents from view and resists cracking during daily use
• Available in two capacity options to match room size and workflow volume requirements

FAQs

Q: Will the foot pedal work when the hamper is fully loaded?

A: Yes, the pedal mechanism is designed to operate under full capacity loads. The lid's counterbalance system ensures consistent performance regardless of bag weight.

Q: Can I use standard plastic trash bags with this hamper?

A: Both sizes accommodate standard laundry bags and isolation bags. The 23.75" model fits 33-gallon bags; the 26.75" model accepts 55-gallon bags when using the wire frame retainer.

Q: How do the front zipper and foot pedal work together?

A: Use the foot pedal for depositing items through the top opening. When the bag is full, unzip the front panel to remove the entire bag without lifting over the rim.

Q: What's the difference between the two size options?

A: The 23.75" x 18.75" model holds 28-33 gallons and fits compact spaces. The 26.75" x 22.5" model holds 42-55 gallons for higher-volume collection needs or extended shifts between pickups.

Q: Do the casters lock to prevent rolling during loading?

A: The threaded stem casters are non-locking but provide stable footing on level surfaces. The hamper's weight distribution and wide base minimize unintended movement during use.
