Product Overview

Same 30 litre cart layout, different metal underneath: the frame on this model is stainless steel, powder-coated yellow. The tank and green cover sit at eye height, an open crate on the deck catches the runoff, and the whole unit rolls on castors with no water line, no drain and no power.

The point of the stainless substrate is where the cart lives, not how it looks. A painted carbon frame rusts first at the welds, at the castor mounts and at every chip along the base — exactly the places that get wet and knocked in a wash-down area or a coastal plant.

Why a Stainless Substrate

• Wash-down areas – hosed floors, food and beverage rooms and hygienic zones punish painted carbon steel.

• Salt air and coastal sites – chloride attack shows up as rust bleeding from welds within a season on mild steel.

• Chemical splash – acid and alkali mist collects on the base frame, which is the lowest and most exposed part of the cart.

• Chips stay local – where the coating is knocked off, the exposed substrate is stainless rather than rusting steel.

Coating on Top of Stainless

• Colour consistency – the yellow matches the rest of the range, so a mixed fleet still looks like one system.

• Easy to clean – a smooth cured coating wipes down; bare stainless shows every smear and fingerprint.

• Repairable – small chips can be touched up; larger areas can be left bare, since the substrate will not rust through.

• Less glare – no bright reflections off a polished frame under high-bay lighting.

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 and mark it on the cart.

• A full tank is light enough to wheel between areas with one hand.

Construction

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

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

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

• Powder-coated stainless steel frame – uprights with cross bracing, yellow, castors all round.

• Open crate – lifts off the deck for emptying and rinsing.

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 green cover and check both nozzles run clear.

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

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

6. After use: empty the crate, refill the tank, close the cover, return the cart to position.

Maintenance

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

• Monthly: check castors, cross braces and fixings; check the coating for chips.

• Quarterly: sanitise and rinse tank and crate; wipe down the frame in wash-down areas.

• Annually: inspect welds and castor mounts for corrosion, and touch up coating where it has worn through.

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 under the site's chemical rules.

Applications

Food and beverage production, pharmaceutical and cosmetics rooms, wash-down bays, coastal and offshore sites, chemical stores and any plant where a painted carbon frame would rust at the welds.

Ordering

Order by model XM2302E. Please state quantity and whether spare crates or covers are needed. The carbon steel twin-post version, the all-yellow version with a lidded container, and the 53 L cart with wash gun options are also available.
