TrippNT 6 Shelf Narrow Locking Cart — 12-Inch Wide HDPE Tambour-Door Cart with 6 Removable Trays in Metallic Silver Door
The TrippNT 6 Shelf Narrow Locking Cart (SKU 51977) is TrippNT’s 12-inch wide tall locked supply cart — the narrowest full-height locking cart in the TrippNT catalog, at just 11⅞″ wide, designed for positions where standard 16–22-inch carts cannot fit: narrow alcoves, between-equipment spaces, behind doors, in corridor recesses, and at the end of bench runs where only 12 inches of floor depth is available. The metallic silver tambour door rolls up and out of the way on hidden internal tracks, disappearing entirely into the cart top and leaving the full 11⅞″ × 19⅜″ storage face unobstructed for loading and access — unlike hinged doors, which require 20–22 inches of forward swing clearance that narrow spaces often cannot provide.
Six removable styrene pocket trays slide into the HDPE body on horizontal rails, providing six independently-accessible horizontal storage tiers. Each tray can be pulled out completely for use as a transport tray or reconfigured within the cart. Two keys included; the key lock secures the tambour door for shift-change supply security. Three-inch non-marking casters (2 locking + 2 swivel) allow quiet repositioning on laboratory and clinical flooring. Ships fully assembled. Color variant of the White (51976); all specifications identical except tambour door color.

Laboratory and Clinical Applications
The TrippNT 6 Shelf Narrow Locking Cart is specified for: hospital nursing unit narrow-alcove supply staging (the defining application — many hospital room alcoves and utility corridors have 12–14-inch recesses that only a cart this narrow can occupy), dental operatory narrow supply cart positions (between the dental unit and the wall), clinical laboratory narrow-bench supply positions, ambulatory surgical center supply corridor narrow bays, pharmacy compounding lab narrow position carts, school and university lab narrow-bench end positions, veterinary clinic narrow procedure room positions, and any environment where a full-height locked supply cart must fit in a 12-inch floor width. The tambour door’s zero-swing-clearance requirement makes it particularly valuable in positions where the cart is flanked on both sides by other equipment or walls. Each removable tray also functions as a standalone supply carrier for transport from the cart to the point of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the 6 removable trays attach to the cart, and what are their interior dimensions?
The 6 styrene trays slide horizontally onto built-in internal rails on the HDPE body — each tray pulls out completely from the front for transport or access and pushes back in on the rails to reseat. The tray interior dimensions are approximately 10½″ W × 18″ D × 2″ H (confirmed by TrippNT specs; individual variation may apply). Tray positions are fixed-height and evenly spaced across the 36⅝″ cart height. All 6 trays are identical and interchangeable within the cart. Amazon describes the cart as having “6 removable drawers” — these are the same removable pocket trays referenced in TrippNT’s documentation.
What is the difference between the White (51976) and the Metallic Silver (51977) versions?
The White (51976) has a white HDPE body and white tambour door. The Metallic Silver (51977) has the same white HDPE body but a Metallic Silver tambour door panel. All structural, dimensional, and performance specifications are identical between the two variants. The color choice is aesthetic — select Silver for environments with stainless-steel-aesthetic or gray-tone décor programs, or where the silver door visually differentiates the cart from adjacent white carts in a multi-cart supply program.
