The Middle Of The Med Cart Range
Five drawers is where a cart carries a real unit pass while still steering easily through patient rooms: enough per-patient organization for a standard floor, not yet the bulk of the long term care towers. Mid-size units and standard med-surg floors tend to settle here.

Five Drawers, Full Wing Duty
Five drawer carts carry a full wing’s pass in long term care: resident meds filed in pass order across the primary drawers, PRN and bulk below. The build is the first in the line sized for one cart, one wing, one pass staffing, which is why skilled facilities buy more of this height than any other. Central locking secures the stack in one turn at every interruption.
Fleet Planning At This Size
Spec the five drawer build by census: residents served per pass times bin width tells you whether the primary drawers hold the wing with margin. Keep drawer maps identical across a fleet so float staff find everything first try. Lock families, dimensions and caster specs are listed per model; the desk sizes fleets from census numbers at 877-706-4480.
Census Math At Five Drawers
The sizing rule of thumb: residents on the pass times bins per resident, against the listed capacity of the primary drawers, with a margin for admissions. When that math clears with room to spare, five drawers runs a full wing on one cart, which is the height’s entire value proposition and why skilled facilities buy it by the building.
Lock Systems At The Fleet Level
At fleet scale the lock decision outweighs most others: keyed alike systems keep one key per nurse, keyless builds remove keys entirely, and mixing systems across a building is the mistake that surfaces at every shift change. Fix the lock standard before the first cart ships and every later cart matches.
