Can anyone identify this aluminium tool box

[Sparkfarmer]

Hi guys,
This toolbox is apparently aluminium. I am thinking it might be medical or something?
If anyone can give me any info on them and if they are any good that would be great.

Thanks

The rubber bumper moldings on the bottom corners resemble medical carts used in the hospital where I work, so you may be correct.

In your experience how durable are they and how much weight can they handle?

Looks a little like the Homak crash cart "toolbox" I have.

If it was built for hospital use, it is probably as overbuilt as a drive-through window. That stuff is TOP quality.

I mean they make cheap ones and they make good ones. It's hard to tell just by looking at the pic. The drawer slides and gauge of the metal are the important things. Casters can be upgraded.

Yeah that is definitely an old medicine cart. Most of them are made pretty well...and the prices they charge for new ones is outrageous. Seen lots of them since I'm an RN.

I have seen carts like that. A friend of mine has a decommissioned medical cart in his garage but I'm not sure if it's aluminum.

A quick Google search says Waterloo, OptimAl and Harloff make six drawer healthcare carts in aluminum.

I would spend some time on Google searching [aluminum healthcare cart] or [aluminum anesthesia cart] without the brackets. I would include the measurements of the one pictured.
