Technical Narrative
The TrippNT 53983 Vertical Two-Bin Small Clear Kimwipe Dispenser with Magnet Mount is a dual-box automatic-advance Kimwipe dispenser in clear PETG with rare-earth magnet backing — the solution to the common laboratory frustration of reaching for a Kimwipe and finding an empty box with no backup staged. Two Kimberly-Clark 34155 small Kimwipe boxes load into the dispenser simultaneously: Box 1 is the active dispenser; when it is empty and removed, Box 2 automatically slides forward into the dispensing position without operator intervention. The next restocking cycle only requires loading a single new box into the rear position, maintaining continuous Kimwipe availability through normal work cycles without the need for the operator to remember to stage a backup box separately. The clear PETG construction provides visual inventory monitoring of remaining wipe count in both boxes simultaneously through the dispenser walls.
The rare-earth rubber-coated magnet backing attaches instantly to any ferrous steel surface — BSC baffles, instrument cart uprights, stainless steel bench panels, metal shelf faces — without drilling or adhesives, and repositions in seconds as workspace configurations change. At 5″ W x 10″ H x 3¾″ D and 0.95 lb, the 53983 serves individual analytical instrument positions and BSC-adjacent cleanup stations requiring the standard small-format 34155 box. Backed by TrippNT’s 100% Lifetime Guarantee. MRI UNSAFE: the rare-earth magnet presents a projectile hazard in MRI Zone III and IV.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the vertical small 53983 serve better than the vertical large version — and when does the undermount mount serve better than vertical?
Within the vertical orientation, specify the Small 53983 (KC 34155 box) for individual analyst positions and BSC-adjacent use where one small box per cycle is the correct restocking unit, and the Large 54025 (KC 34133 box) for high-throughput wipe positions and GMP manufacturing areas where the larger box reduces restocking cycles. The vertical orientation is the correct choice when the mounting surface is vertical (cart upright, BSC baffle face) and the pull direction is from the top of the box.
How does the auto-advance mechanism work, and does the operator need to do anything when Box 1 is empty beyond removing it?
When Box 1 is depleted, the operator removes the empty box by lifting it out of the front bin position. Box 2, which has been staged in the rear position, slides forward automatically under its own weight and the dispenser geometry into the active front position — no lever, no manual push, no tools. The operator then loads a new full box into the now-empty rear position to re-stage the backup. The entire restocking cycle takes approximately 10–15 seconds. The critical maintenance discipline is loading the rear position immediately after removing the empty front box; if the rear is left empty, the next time Box 1 depletes there is no backup and the position runs out. The clear PETG construction allows visual monitoring of remaining wipe count in both boxes to identify the restock timing before the front box empties.
