A stainless steel pharmacy trolley is a mobile workstation designed specifically for pharmaceutical and medical environments, with the user’s ergonomics in mind. It can be configured to suit your needs and comes with equipment such as trays, baskets, side shelves and supports, so that tools, documents and consumables are organized and easy to reach.
MGA Technologies’ reference model is the Ergonomic Stainless Steel Cart, a configurable mobile workstation with a worktop that is electrically height-adjustable from 0.9 m to 1.3 m.
What is a stainless steel pharmacy trolley?
A stainless steel pharmacy trolley is a piece of furniture with a stainless steel structure, mounted on castors. It is designed to make the user’s work easier by keeping all the tools they need close at hand. The trolley has a telescopic column with IP66 protection and an easy grip. For your operators, the main benefit is time: unnecessary trips are avoided, which increases productivity and performance.
Easy to maneuver, robust and ergonomic, the trolley has universal fixing areas with clamping nuts. Up to 3 electrical appliances can be connected to it.
Other characteristics to know
The trolley can be configured for any field thanks to the accessories that can be added. Its robustness comes from its stainless steel structure. The structure can be open, with several levels for storing various tools. It then consists of a tray, a document holder and a basket, so the operator can easily reach their tools while working.
The trolley can also have several drawers when the structure is closed. This is the ideal configuration for transporting and storing the various tools and documents needed for pharmaceutical operations.
Standard equipment
- Upper equipment: 30 Ă— 40 cm tray
- Intermediate equipment: electrical sockets and document holder
- Lower equipment: swivel castors with a braking system
Available options
For the upper part:
- 1 or 2 side shelves (28 Ă— 28 cm surface)
- Front storage
Intermediate options:
- 30 Ă— 40 cm basket

- 30 cm or 40 cm basket dividers
Rod options:
- Straight support(s), 2.7 cm in diameter, adding 46 cm of height
- Angled support, 2.7 cm in diameter, adding 17 cm of height
Its worktop can be adjusted over a 400 mm stroke, for a working height between 0.9 m and 1.3 m. The accessories (side shelves, trays, baskets, rod) can go through a drying oven. The stainless steel pharmacy trolley is easy to clean because it has no retention zones.
How to choose a stainless steel pharmacy trolley
Choosing a stainless steel pharmacy trolley should start from the operations performed, the equipment to be moved and the conditions of use. Before defining the configuration, list the instruments, documents and electrical devices the operator needs. This lets you select the right number of trays, baskets, side shelves or supports without cluttering the mobile workstation. The intermediate tray, lower tray, document holder and power strip complete the standard equipment offered by MGA Technologies.
Ergonomics is another key criterion. Our model has a 600 Ă— 400 mm main worktop with electric adjustment over a 400 mm stroke, so the working height can be set from 0.9 m to 1.3 m with two built-in buttons. Swivel castors with locks make the trolley easy to move and keep it in place during use. The layout of the accessories should follow the operator’s movements and the organization of the workstation.
In a pharmaceutical environment, the cleaning strategy should also guide your choice. The MGA trolley has a design without retention zones to simplify cleaning. Side shelves, baskets and the rod can go through a drying oven. This design makes it easier to fit the equipment into the cleaning procedures defined by the facility, in line with the requirements for equipment used in pharmaceutical production.
Finally, electrical needs should be specified in the requirements. The trolley has three sockets, a 3 m power cord and a telescopic column with IP66 protection. MGA Technologies can adapt the accessories to the intended use. A custom stainless steel pharmacy trolley gives you a configuration that matches the workstation, the equipment on board and the cleaning constraints.
Custom options and accessories for your stainless steel trolley
Every pharmaceutical environment has its own requirements, which is why stainless steel trolleys can be designed and configured to measure. Customization can include accessories such as adjustable shelves, removable bins, lockable drawers or mounting systems for laboratory equipment. Ergonomics can also be improved with suitable handles and reinforced or antistatic wheels, making it easier to move through sensitive areas.
Depending on your needs, traceability or identification devices can also be added for better logistics management. With this modular approach, each stainless steel trolley becomes a work tool adapted to the operational constraints of laboratories and clean rooms, improving productivity and handling safety.

Easy cleaning for sterile environments
In pharmaceutical and hospital environments, ease of cleaning is a key criterion. Stainless steel trolleys are designed with smooth surfaces, free of rough spots and retention zones, which significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination. High-quality stainless steel also offers excellent resistance to chemical agents and repeated disinfection.
This equipment is designed for the strict hygiene requirements of controlled environments. Removable components allow quick, efficient cleaning, which limits downtime and keeps sensitive activities running. These features make stainless steel trolleys a valuable asset for protecting process integrity and operator safety in demanding settings.
