Product Overview

A 30 litre eye wash on a yellow wheeled base, with the tank in dark green and the cover in yellow. What sets this version apart is the container underneath: a large yellow bin with its own lid, sized to take the whole flush, so the water that leaves the face is caught and covered rather than sitting open in a crate.

The cover over the nozzles lifts to start the flow, the pictogram sits at chest height, and the whole unit moves as one piece — no water line, no drain, no power.

Why the Lid Matters

• Out of sight between uses – collected water is covered, so the cart does not read as a bucket of waste standing in the aisle.

• Less splash and smell – a lid over contaminated runoff keeps splashes in and odour down, which matters where the contaminant is a solvent or an acid.

• Bigger catch volume – the container is sized for a full flush rather than a token drip tray, so an incident does not end with water on the floor.

• Neater on a finished floor – a lidded bin on a wheeled base can stand in a workshop, a corridor or a clean area without looking like a spill in progress.

30 Litres, Stated Honestly

• At a nominal 11.4 L/min eyewash flow, 30 L gives roughly two and a half minutes of flushing.

• That is a first-response duration, not the fifteen-minute facility the standard describes; measure the real figure on site and mark it on the cart.

• A full 30 L tank is light enough for one person to wheel between bays and to lift into a vehicle when needed.

Construction

• 30 L dark green HDPE tank – moulded body with fill cap and carry handle.

• Yellow cover – eye pictogram and two-step drawing, lifts to start the flow.

• Twin nozzles – set under the cover at eye height.

• Yellow wheeled base – tubular frame with castors and side handles.

• Lidded yellow container – large catch bin with lid, resting on the base under the nozzles.

Technical Specifications

Setting Up and Weekly Care

1. Fill the tank with clean tepid water through the top cap and close it firmly.

2. Wheel the cart to the hazard, on level ground, brake the castors.

3. Lift the yellow cover and check both nozzles run clear.

4. Time how long the tank lasts and mark the figure on the cart.

5. Weekly: replace the water, run the unit briefly, wipe the nozzles and cover, rinse the catch container.

6. After use: empty and rinse the container, refill the tank, close the lid and the cover, return the cart to position.

Maintenance

• Weekly water change is the main task; standing water is where contamination starts.

• Monthly: check the lid and cover, the nozzles, the cap seal and the castor brakes.

• Quarterly: sanitise and rinse the tank and container; check labels for legibility.

• Annually: inspect the tank moulding for crazing and the base frame for corrosion at the welds.

Standards and Compliance

ANSI Z358.1 calls for a fifteen-minute flush. A 30 L gravity cart delivers a fraction of that at eyewash flow, so it is a first-response unit that must lead to a plumbed station — measure and mark the duration, change the water weekly, keep it tepid where the standard requires it, and keep the cart within about ten seconds of the hazard with a clear approach. Collected runoff should be disposed of according to the site's chemical rules, not poured down a general drain.

Applications

Workshops and maintenance bays, vehicle and container areas, battery and paint points, warehouse aisles, clean production areas where an open crate of waste water would not be acceptable, and sites with occasional chemical exposure.
