Gratnells has confirmed with Crown Commercial that we are able to supply large numbers of hospital trolleys and storage products at short notice. This was proven after quick fulfilment of a large order for the NHS Nightingale London Hospital in early April. We have been working hard with raw material suppliers to ensure continued supply and are using any spare capacity to build stocks for immediate despatch. In the search bar of the supplier catalogue page, type ‘hospital trolleys’ or ‘Gratnells’ to obtain more details.


The Edge4Health is a joint partnership between NHS Shared Business Services and Virtualstock. Its online portal connects suppliers and healthcare providers to a single PEPPOL certified access point. This helps providers to save money, increase compliance and improve efficiency. You can access your login page here and search for ‘Gratnells’ once you are logged in.


The Gratnells range of medical products incorporates BioCote® technology into its storage trays, trolleys and frames. The additive is antimicrobial in character and is proven to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi and the H1N1 virus. It also helps in preventing the growth of odour causing and staining bacteria. In fact, BioCote® is up to 99.99% effective in reducing the spread of bacteria.

   






Gratnells on the front line


Gratnells is concentrating production efforts on our range of medical trolleys, currently in high demand as part of the fight against the Covid 19 pandemic. The trolleys, with an antimicrobial coating to help with infection control, are used by health professionals for the storage of face masks, gloves and medical instruments.

Our Harlow factory, which supplies worldwide markets in both education and the medical sector, is operating continuous shifts to meet demand for the medical trolleys, with recent orders to support the new Nightingale Hospital in Docklands.

Our production staff have been trained in good hygiene control, and are working in revised work patterns to observe safe social distancing. The supply chain for raw materials is robust, and any spare capacity is being used to build for stock, to enable immediate dispatch of new orders.

Supporting frontline staff – whether it be teachers or health professionals – is always a major focus for Gratnells. In these difficult times, we are happy and keen to help in the fight against coronavirus.







We are delighted to be able to supply Antimicrobial trolleys. All of our white metal frames are protected with Gratnells Antimicrobial Protection which uses BioCote to help prevent the spread of microbes, bacteria and fungi. Also all our trays are now also treated with BioCote giving you the utmost in antimicrobial protection for your hospital or clinic
