The 72L linen cart uses an ergonomic design that meets OSHA’s general duty clause covering ergonomics, according to Meese Orbitron Dunne Co. The cart is designed to carry bulk items and offers a lower, wider center cutout for easier access to towels, sheets and other items. The oversized, square cutout opening reduces the need for bending and reaching while the cart is being loaded and unloaded, making it more ergonomically correct.
