HEPACART Classic Mobile Containment Cart with Built-In HEPA Negative Air Machine

What it is

The HEPACART Classic is a mobile containment cart for ceiling work in occupied buildings: removing ceiling tiles, running cable, and minor ductwork or electrical work above a drop ceiling in hospitals, clinics, labs and data centers. The worker stands inside a fully enclosed, end-entry cart while a built-in HEPA-filtered negative air machine draws air through the enclosure. HEPACART publishes the cart for infection control risk assessment (ICRA) compliance levels I to IV, and every unit's HEPA negative air machine is individually tested and certified before it ships.

Choosing a size

Three sizes share the same features. The HEPACART 55 has a 55" x 29" interior for a crew of one, plus tools and a ladder. The 74 stretches the interior to 74" x 29" for a crew of two. The 74X widens it to 74" x 39" for two people plus a ladder and larger equipment. Every size encloses one 2' x 4' ceiling tile, and the Multiple Tile Adapter (sold separately) opens two tiles from the same footprint.

How it raises

The Classic raises its antimicrobial enclosure on four telescoping, spring-loaded poles that lock into place and articulate individually at each corner, so the top seals against uneven ceilings without tools. Its exclusive top slide-out offsets the top frame up to 8" at the ceiling to work around handrails, artwork and nurse stations. Standard reach is 10'6"; a tall enclosure takes the Classic to 12' and the Multiple Tile Adapter to 14'.

Air and power

The HEPA filter is rated 99.99% at 0.3 µm (exceeds MERV 16) and is mounted after the fan, behind a MERV 8 pleated pre-filter, with variable speed control for calibration and more than 500 cfm of maximum exhaust. A 20' retractable cord feeds a three-way electrical switch so power can be controlled from inside or outside the cart, and dimmable HALO LED lighting lights the work area and the space above the ceiling. A differential pressure gauge, an in-use light and a walk-off mat compartment under the door are standard.

Options to order

Pick the size, then the configuration. Lockable Top turns the cart into a lockable job box. Left and right vision panels add transparent side panels. Wall Access adds a sliding door in the hard wall for wall work between 12" and 60". The Adjustable Ladder Extension Module (ALEM) lets a taller ladder reach up to 16' while the worker stays inside the cart, and the Digital Pressure Monitor adds visible and audible pressure alarms.

Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days, then HEPACART ships in-stock units from Lenexa, Kansas, within 2 to 4 business days, fully assembled on a pallet by LTL freight, and they spend about 1 to 6 business days in transit depending on your region. Custom or out-of-stock items can take 2 to 4 weeks. Freight is calculated at checkout and shown before you pay. It goes to a business address in the lower 48 states with a loading dock or forklift; contact us before you order if you need residential, liftgate, inside or appointment delivery, or delivery to Alaska or Hawaii. You'll get tracking by email as soon as it leaves HEPACART.

Inspect the packaging and the product before you sign. Note any damage or shortage on the delivery receipt, then email photos to support@mycleansupplies.com within 48 hours of delivery so the freight claim can be filed. Damage reported after 48 hours can't be claimed.

Unused HEPACART products in their original packaging can be returned within 7 days of delivery, if HEPACART approves the return. Ask us for a return authorization before you ship. Returns carry HEPACART's 30% restocking fee, you pay the return freight, and the shipping we paid to deliver it and payment processing fees are not refunded. Custom and special-order items are final sale, and used or contaminated units can't be returned.

HEPACART covers the HEPACART Classic under its own manufacturer warranty, on HEPACART's terms; we don't add a separate warranty. Complete the warranty activation when HEPACART's Warranty Activation Email arrives, and keep the model and serial number from the unit's label with your records.

Warranty claims. Contact us with your order number, model and serial number, and report any fault present on arrival within 10 days of delivery. We file the claim with HEPACART, which repairs or replaces equipment that was defective when it shipped.

HEPACART was founded in 2006 to solve one problem: doing construction and maintenance work in an occupied hospital without letting dust and airborne contaminants spread into the rooms around it. Its product line is assembled at its factory in Lenexa, Kansas, and HEPACART reports that carts it sold in 2006 are still in service.

The HEPACART Classic is the flagship of the cart line, raised on spring-loaded poles. The HEPACART AutoLift uses the same carts with push-button electric actuators instead, and the DUSTBUGGY is the same format without the built-in negative air machine for lower-risk ceiling work. The AnteRoom, HEPAROOM and FloorZone extend the same approach to doorways, rooms and floor-level work.
