Medical & Warehouse Environments

In the healthcare sector, each environment comes with its own unique set of requirements and challenges. Limited space, strict hygiene standards, and the need for secure access to vital items like medical records, medications, and supplies demand highly efficient and reliable storage systems.

At SML, we specialise in designing healthcare storage solutions that cater to these specific needs, offering both mobile and static shelving options to maximize space and ensure safety in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and laboratories.

Space-Saving Storage for Healthcare Environments

n healthcare environments where space is limited—such as wards, operating rooms, and pharmacy storage, our mobile shelving systems are specifically designed to optimize floor space. These systems can increase storage capacity by as much as 50% compared to traditional shelving options, making them perfect for:

• Storing patient records in compliance with confidentiality regulations.
• Ensuring medical supplies and equipment are efficiently organized for quick and easy access during emergency situations.
• Securing medications in pharmacies with enhanced control and restricted access options.

Our static shelving solutions are equally versatile and can be customized for fixed placement in specialized departments such as laboratories or administrative offices.

ActiveCoat Antimicrobial Protection for Hygiene Control

Healthcare environments require the highest level of infection control. Our shelving units are finished with ActiveCoat antimicrobial powder coating, which uses silver ion-based technology to dramatically reduce bacterial growth on treated surfaces. Within just two hours, bacterial levels can be reduced by 99.9%, ensuring that storage areas remain hygienic, safe, and compliant with healthcare regulations.

This is especially crucial in settings where maintaining high levels of hygiene is essential, such as:

• Operating theatres and sterile storage areas where reducing the risk of infection is paramount.
• Pharmacies and medication rooms where controlled substances need to be stored securely while maintaining sterile conditions.

Specialized Storage for Medical Trays

For healthcare settings that require storage solutions specifically tailored for medical equipment, we offer HTM71 powder-coated shelving, designed to hold medical trays with a high load capacity. This type of shelving is ideal for settings like:

• Surgical theatres, where quick access to sterile instruments is essential.
• Pathology labs, where medical trays need to be stored safely and securely.

Our HTM71 shelving meets NHS storage standards, ensuring full compliance with UK healthcare regulations while providing a durable and adaptable solution for busy medical environments.

Security and Control for Healthcare Storage

In healthcare, the need for secure storage is critical. Our systems can be enhanced with features such as:

Lockable shelving units for storing medications and controlled substances in pharmacies.

Restricted access systems that ensure only authorized personnel can retrieve sensitive patient records or medications.

These solutions help to improve workflow efficiency, while also maintaining the highest standards of security to prevent unauthorized access.

Customizable and Scalable Solutions

We understand that every healthcare facility is different, which is why our storage systems are fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re outfitting a small clinic or a large hospital, our team of experts will work with you to design a solution that optimizes space, enhances security, and improves the efficiency of your operations.
