Applications: From Hospitals and clinics to Veterinary Clinics, Breweries to Warehouses

While born from hospital needs, the benefits of the HETO wheel system extend to any setting where cleanliness and safety are paramount. Some key applications include:

Hospitals & Clinics:

The most obvious use-case, everywhere in a hospital that equipment has wheels. Hospital beds, surgical carts, IV stands, medication trolleys, mobile X-ray machines, etc., can all be retrofitted or built with the HETO system. Clinical staff will appreciate how easily they can swap out and clean wheels during infection control rounds or between patient transfers. Facilities engineers will value the reduced maintenance (no more clogged caster swivels or rusty shafts from trapped mop water). And administrators gain an extra layer of patient safety, addressing infection control auditors’ concerns about floor hygiene and meeting ESD protection guidelines for medical devices.

Veterinary Hospitals:

Animal patients can carry and contract infections much like humans, and sanitation in veterinary clinics is just as critical. Cages, gurneys, and exam tables on wheels can utilize HETO adapters to keep pet hair, dirt, and biological waste from gathering in equipment legs. The quick-release wheels allow vet staff to easily deep-clean casters or replace them after messy procedures or between animal patients, helping prevent cross-contamination between animals. Electrostatic control is also beneficial in vet settings to avoid spooking animals with static shocks and to protect sensitive diagnostic equipment. Veterinary furniture manufacturers investing in this wheel system can market their equipment on wheels and tables as exceptionally hygienic and safe for animal care.

Food & Beverage Industry (e.g. Breweries, among others Pharmacies):

In breweries, dairies, commercial kitchens, and pharmaceutical labs, cleanliness is not just about safety but also product purity. Equipment like stainless steel carts, kegs on trolleys, or mobile machinery needs to be washed down frequently. The HETO wheel system’s corrosion-resistant wheels and tool-free removal are ideal here, workers can pop wheels off before high-pressure washing or soak them separately, ensuring no hidden grime remains that could spoil a batch of beer or medicine. Additionally, antistatic wheels can be important in facilities handling flammable ingredients (grain dust at a brewery or alcohol vapors in distilleries), where static sparks must be avoided. The system stands up to intensive cleaning and provides peace of mind against stray electrostatic charges in these environments.

Laboratories & Cleanrooms:

Labs (in biotech, electronics manufacturing, etc.) often require ESD-safe and contamination-free equipment. Rolling workbenches or equipment racks fitted with HETO wheel systems would both protect sensitive electronics from static discharges and allow effective cleaning of wheels. The adapter also prevents particulate buildup, a big plus in cleanroom settings.

Logistics & Industry (Advanced Carts):

In warehouses or logistics centers, carts and tuggers with easily swappable wheels speed up maintenance. For example, rather than taking a cart out of service when a wheel needs cleaning or replacement, floor staff can quickly swap in a fresh wheel and keep working minimizing downtime. Moreover, if the warehouse deals with electronics or explosive materials, the ESD protection ensures safety of both devices and personnel. Investors who manufacture industrial carts can incorporate the HETO system to differentiate their products with these premium features (rugged hygiene and electrostatic protection), appealing to clients in high-tech or food-grade sectors.
