ENDOSCOPY CARTS
Featherweight® Endoscopy Carts are custom built to be the perfect fit for your needs. Whatever your design requirements are, PHS West, Inc. endoscopy carts are the solution.
More than 20 years ago, PHS West, Inc. became the innovators of the endoscopy travel cart. Our endoscopy carts are designed to be 100% custom built so we can meet your department’s exact equipment, supply, footprint and, most important, budget requirements.
MANUAL PROCEDURE CARTS
Featherweight® Double Endoscopy Cart
Our Featherweight® Double Endoscopy Cart design allows for all equipment and supplies to be located on one cart. Positioning allows everything to be located where it needs to be for convenient access mid-procedure for all parties including doctors, nurses, and technicians.
MOTORIZED PROCEDURE TRAVEL CARTS
Featherweight® SPECS™ Motorized Endoscopy Cart
All of the equipment necessary for every travel case is on a motorized cart. The supplies are organized in a trailer supply cart which is specific to individual procedures. The image monitor is on a rolling monitor stand that connects to the whole system. Grab the motorized equipment cart, connect the supply trailer and image monitor and off you go. All three pieces separate and are individually positioned in the patient’s room.
Featherweight® Motorized Double Endoscopy Cart
As the mainstay of PHS motorized travel carts, the Featherweight® Motorized Double Endoscopy Cart has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Every endoscopy cart is designed by you with the aid of Karis sales and design consultants to ensure all of your equipment and supplies are organized optimally for your work flow at the patients bedside.
STORAGE
Locking Drawers | 4″, 6″, 8″, 12″
Multiple drawer size combinations are available in the “gang” locking drawer cabinets. Operating one lock will secure all of the drawers in one cabinet instead of needing to lock drawers individually. These 4”, 6”, 8”, and 12” drawers can stack up in any combination equaling a total of 12”. Depending on the cart model you choose, the equipment required on the cart, and any other accessories, multiple drawer cabinets can be accommodated in your design. Individual 6” drawers not housed within the multi-drawer cabinet are optional.
Drawer Dividers
Insert drawer dividers into any drawer for superior organization. Dividers can be adjusted front to back and side to side to accommodate different sizes of supplies.
ACCESSORIES
Keyboard Tray with Mouse Surface
The fold down Keyboard Tray and Mouse Surface locks up in place securely, storing the keyboard when not in use. It also folds down off of the end of the cart to use in its convenient location next to a monitor to ensure maximum efficiency during data entry. The slide out Keyboard Tray and Mouse Surface are stored securely under the work surface off the cart and glide out easily when needed.
CPU Mount
When space is at a premium within the cart, mounting the computer on the outside edge may be the perfect solution for making everything fit.
MONITOR MOUNTING OPTIONS
Monitor Stands
The Featherweight® Monitor Stands can be conveniently positioned for easy view of the scope image in endoscopy procedure rooms.
Travel cases are made even easier by connecting the Monitor Stand to your travel cart for transport. Once at the patient’s bedside, the Monitor Stand disconnects from the travel cart allowing normal positioning capabilities in procedure rooms.
MOTORIZED DIALYSIS CARTS
Transportation of acute bedside dialysis equipment is made easier by implementing the Ergo-Express® Motorized Dialysis Cart.

Ergo-Express® Motorized Dialysis Cart | Two Piece
With the Ergo-Express® Motorized Dialysis Cart | Two Piece, water treatment equipment is housed on the motorized platform; hitch any of your hemodialysis machines up and you’re ready to go.

Ergo-Express® Motorized Dialysis Cart | One Piece
