Technical Narrative
The TrippNT 54038 MRI Compact Cart is a purpose-built mobile storage cart for MR suite environments — a 14¼ × 26 × 17½″ (W × H × D), 42 lb HDPE and ACP cart with 99.4% non-ferrous construction that meets the fundamental material safety requirement for cart use within the MRI scanner room without magnetic projectile risk. The four drawers use premium all-plastic drawer slides with smooth soft-close detents — no metal slide rails, no metal ball bearings, no ferromagnetic components in the drawer actuation mechanism. At 14¼″ wide, the MRI Compact Cart fits under standard counters, into tight MRI suite alcoves, and through MRI suite doorways where wider carts create traffic or clearance problems. The built-in recessed tray top retains items placed on top during cart repositioning within the MRI suite. The 2 locking and 2 swivel casters are non-ferrous.
Constructed from HDPE and ACP, the cart withstands IPA, sani-wipe, and standard MRI suite surface decontamination protocols. At $1,410.75 and 42 lb, the MRI Compact Cart ships via small parcel fully assembled. Unlike TrippNT’s earlier MRI Core DX platform, the MRI Compact Cart does not include a bulk storage area with sliding door — the all-drawer configuration maximizes per-unit-height supply capacity in the slim 14¼-inch footprint. The 99.4% non-ferrous specification makes this cart MR Conditional; consult your facility’s MR safety officer and equipment documentation before deploying any cart in the scanner room or fringe field zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 99.4% non-ferrous construction mean for MRI suite safety, and who should approve the 54038 for deployment in the scanner room?
99.4% non-ferrous construction means that 99.4% of the cart’s total material composition by weight is non-magnetic — primarily HDPE, ACP, and all-plastic drawer slides — with 0.6% trace ferrous content from minor hardware components. The 54038 is MR Conditional, meaning it may be safely used in MRI environments under the specific conditions verified by your facility’s MR safety officer and the TrippNT product documentation. The MR safety officer is the correct authority for approving any new equipment for deployment in or near the scanner room based on the specific MRI field strength, fringe field zone, and facility MR safety protocol. Do not deploy any cart in the scanner room without MR safety officer review and approval.
What is the institutional pricing structure for the 54038, and can it be ordered alongside other TrippNT MRI products?
