Technical Narrative
The TrippNT 51726 White MRI Core SP is the compact-footprint supply storage cart for MRI Zone III and Zone IV environments — three drawers, one bulk storage compartment with a space-saving sliding clear door, and an integrated ergonomic grab handle in the cart top, all in a 15⅛ × 33½ × 19¼″ (W × H × D), 60 lb non-ferrous footprint designed specifically for the dimensions and safety constraints of MRI suite corridors. All components are non-ferrous: HDPE body, ABS accents, HDPE drawer slides (not metal slides — eliminating the ferrous-metal drawer slide that is the hidden failure point in standard “MRI-compatible” carts assembled from standard components), and non-ferrous casters and fasteners throughout. The sliding clear door on the bulk storage compartment opens with a lateral slide rather than a swing — requiring no door-swing clearance in tight Zone IV scan room layouts.
The HDPE drawer slides provide 75% extension with a detent hold-open feature — drawers stay open during supply retrieval without a hand holding them, enabling one-hand supply access mid-procedure. Two-inch non-ferrous casters provide smooth, quiet movement across MRI suite flooring without the magnetic interaction risk of standard steel-wheeled carts. The 15⅛″ width is specifically sized for the narrow corridor access paths common in MRI suite designs where standard cart widths — typically 17–22″ — restrict or eliminate one-cart-plus-staff aisle clearance. The unit ships via small parcel at 65 lb; no LTL freight logistics required. For programs requiring a wider MRI cart footprint, the MRI Extra Wide Core Cart (51731) and MRI Core DX (51728) provide expanded configurations on the same non-ferrous construction standard.

Laboratory and Clinical Applications
The TrippNT 51726 is specified for supply storage in MRI Zone III and Zone IV environments requiring a compact non-ferrous cart, including MRI scanning suite supply carts where 15-inch cart width is required for corridor clearance, pediatric MRI suite compact supply storage, open MRI suite supply carts with tight bore-adjacent positioning, interventional MRI suite supply staging carts, veterinary MRI suite supply carts, research MRI facility supply management, MRI prep room supply carts requiring Zone III-compatible storage adjacent to the screening threshold, mobile MRI suite supply carts for trailer-mounted or van-based MRI units with constrained interior dimensions, MRI-compatible procedure cart replacement in hybrid OR/MRI suites, and any MRI environment where 15-inch width non-ferrous drawer storage is the specification required by site dimensions, zone clearance requirements, or facility MRI safety protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
What MRI zone classification is the 51726 compatible with, and what makes HDPE drawer slides safer than standard metal slides for MRI environments?
The 51726 is constructed entirely from non-ferrous materials and designed for use in MRI Zone III and Zone IV environments per ACR MRI safety guidelines. HDPE drawer slides are the critical non-ferrous detail: standard medical carts — even those marketed as “MRI compatible” — frequently use standard steel ball-bearing drawer slides that are ferrous components and represent a projectile risk in Zone IV. The 51726’s HDPE slides eliminate this risk entirely while providing 75% extension with a detent hold-open feature. Facilities are responsible for their own site-specific MR safety screening per their institutional MRI safety program; consult your MRI safety officer before deploying any cart in Zone III or IV.
What is the institutional pricing structure for the 51726, and are the MRI Core DX and MRI Extra Wide Core Cart on the same program?
LabSupplies.com provides tiered institutional pricing for hospitals, academic medical centers, radiology groups, federal medical facilities, and government agencies. Volume discounts apply at checkout. The 51726 MRI Core SP, 51728 MRI Core DX, and 51731 MRI Extra Wide Core Cart are all available on the same institutional pricing program for radiology department MRI suite standardization programs deploying multiple unit types.
