TrippNT Core DX Cart with Smoke Sliding Door | 3-Drawer Smoke Acrylic HDPE Lab Cart 53563

Technical Narrative

The TrippNT 53563 Core DX Cart with Smoke Sliding Door provides three locking drawers, six side shelves (four standard + two dispensing), and a locking smoke acrylic sliding bulk storage door in a 22⅞ × 35⅝ × 19⅝″ (W × H × D), 66 lb HDPE cart that ships via small parcel. The smoke acrylic door is the defining difference from the clear-door Core DX variants — it provides partial visual concealment of bulk storage contents while maintaining enough translucency to confirm whether the compartment is occupied without opening the door. In clinical environments where supply concealment is required but full opacity is not specified, the smoke door provides the correct visual privacy level without requiring an opaque solid panel. The sliding smoke door requires zero swing clearance alongside the cart — it slides laterally into the cart body, making this the correct specification for wall-adjacent positions or tight corridor configurations.

Constructed from ½″ HDPE, ⅛″ ABS, ⅛″ PETG, and ⅛″ ACP, the cart withstands IPA, bleach, and sani-wipe decontamination at all surfaces. Built-in ergonomic handles allow two-hand grip. The Hafele cam key lock secures all three drawers simultaneously. Four-inch twin-wheel casters — 2 locking, 2 swivel — navigate elevator threshold gaps and corridor transitions. Flat top style (no railtop). Ships fully assembled. Available in a hinged (53562) and sliding (53563) door variant at a minor price difference reflecting the door mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the visual difference between the smoke door and the clear door Core DX variants, and when is the smoke door the correct specification?

The smoke acrylic door on the 53563 provides partial translucency — enough to see whether the bulk storage compartment contains items (light vs. shadow) without making specific supply contents clearly visible through the door. The clear-door Core DX variants (53517 series) provide full visibility of bulk storage contents. The smoke door is the correct specification when partial supply concealment is required — typically in patient-visible clinical positions, public-access areas, or facilities with supply concealment policies — but full opacity is not required. For full opacity, TrippNT offers solid-panel bulk storage configurations.

What is the difference between the smoke hinged door (53562) and the smoke sliding door (53563), and what is the institutional pricing for each?

The smoke hinged door (53562, $1,561.96) swings open on a hinge and requires door-swing clearance alongside the cart. The smoke sliding door (53563, $1,460.83) slides laterally into the cart body and requires zero swing clearance — correct for wall-adjacent or tight corridor positions. Both share the same 22⅞ × 35⅝ × 19⅝″ dimensions, 66 lb weight, small parcel shipping, three locking drawers, and six side shelf positions. LabSupplies.com provides tiered institutional pricing for hospital systems, ASC networks, academic medical centers, and government health facilities.
