The Vet’s
best friend.
Gratnells storage trolleys are an ideal storage solution for any
veterinary practice or animal hospital. They’re so versatile, they
can follow me and the patient around the entire facility. Theatre,
radiography, the dental suite…wherever the patient is, there’s a
trolley right behind. This clean, efficient and organised system carries
all the materials I need.
What’s more, the integrated storage trays can be colour-coded with
inserts to separate needles, syringes and catheters. Larger storage
trays hold a patient’s surgical kit…in fact, everything we require for
their planned procedures. And with Gratnells Antimicrobial System
protection, I know our practice has excellent levels of hygiene.
Quite simply, there is nothing else on the market that does it all so
well as Gratnells.

Take your veterinary storage
to the next level.
We’re Gratnells. And we’re the vet’s best friend.
That’s because we want to help make your veterinary practice, hospital or referral
centre more efficient, effective and profitable.
How do we do this? By providing you with our integrated storage system which
saves you time, space and money.
What’s more, our range of antimicrobial storage frames and trolleys offer up to
99.9% of reduction in surface bacteria.
The result? You have a safer, more hygienic veterinary environment for you and
those in your care.
So when it comes to raising the level of veterinary storage, we’re here for you.
After all, isn’t that what friends are for?
The NHS saved £1million in nursing time by investing in
modern storage. How much effort do you waste when
something you need isn’t at hand?
A place for everything.
And everything in its place.
How much time do you and your veterinary staff
spend looking for something in your consulting
room or preparation room, only to find it in the
back of a drawer or a dusty shelf?
If that’s the case, it could be costing your
veterinary practice dearly when there is an
emergency and the drug or device needed isn’t
immediately at hand.
It needn’t be that way. Our professional storage
system is perfect for storing supplies and
equipment. The robust, heavy-duty frames,
trolleys, trays and baskets all work together to
provide a complete, integrated storage solution.
If you want to reduce preparation time, speed up
patient recovery and improve stock control, the
Gratnells Veterinary Storage System is for you.
It doesn’t matter how large or small your veterinary
practice, referral centre or animal hospital happens to
be, efficient storage can make a big difference to your
patients – and your profits.

protection.
GRATNELLS
ANTIMICROBIAL
SYSTEM
PROTECTED
Protection against the dangers of
bacteria and fungi is of paramount
importance to any practice. That’s
why we’ve created the Gratnells
Antimicrobial System.
Now, all the frames and trolleys –
and even the trays – in our range are
treated with antimicrobial additive.
This means surfaces need no longer
rely solely on continual washdowns to
guard against infection.
With Gratnells veterinary products, you
get long-lasting protection because
antimicrobial surfaces are places where
microbes simply cannot survive.
The Gratnells Antimicrobial System is the result of our
strategic partnership with BioCote,® globally recognised
as a guarantee of superior antimicrobial performance.
All of our antimicrobial products are independently
certified for antimicrobial efficacy on a regular basis
and can boast a rating of 99.9%.
It’s something we believe has never before been seen
in the veterinary profession.
And that’s why Gratnells products are your best
defence in the war against infection.
Lower levels of bacteria means improved hygiene, and
reductions in staining, odours and premature degradation
of materials. BioCote® technology is proven effective against
a wide range of bacteria, fungi & the H1N1 virus.

We’ve been using a Gratnells trolley for some time now and been
thoroughly impressed by its flexibility, convenience, and most
importantly, build quality.
In spite of daily cleaning with disinfectant, and the lumps and bumps
of everyday staff and student use, it still looks like it just came out of
the box!
The Gratnells trolley is highly popular with the staff and very useful in
our day-to-day work, and we’re very glad to have it!

Classic AND
Compact. OUR
TWO FLEXIBLE
STORAGE RANGES.
Whether it’s large frame capacity for your
sterile storage area, or storage trolleys for use
throughout your practice, we offer two flexible
storage ranges: Classic and Compact.
Our Classic range of products became the leading
storage system for the NHS over 40 years ago, with
veterinary practices and hospitals following suit.
At the heart of the system is our range of trays,
baskets and tray inserts, all of which give you a
multitude of storage options.
Many veterinary practices and hospitals are often
stuck for space. So we launched the Compact
range consisting of smaller trays, frames and
trolleys which are perfect for tighter areas.
Each item is fully interchangeable within each
Classic or Compact range, delivering time-saving,
efficient and effective storage built around your
practice requirements.

At Willows we use a large selection of Gratnells trolleys throughout the hospital
(from our surgical suite to the recovery areas). There are several reasons we
choose to use Gratnells time and time again.
Firstly, placing the initial order is easy and the friendly staff at Gratnells are
happy to visit and assist in measuring and creating the trolley which suits you
and your specifications. Secondly, because you can build the trolleys to your
own specification it means that the trolley is designed perfectly, fitting all your
needs. As you can see from the picture of our busy surgical preparation room
we have a patient trolley on wheels which moves with ease from each patient
preparation table.
Thirdly, the drawers are easy to clean and the dividers make organisation easy.
Being a busy practice it is also important to us that the trolleys are robust.
The range of Gratnells trolleys suits all of our needs and we would certainly
recommend these to others.

HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS?
HERE ARE
SOME
ANSWERS.
Q. Do your storage frames and
shelving systems integrate with your
trolleys, trays and baskets?
A. Yes. The Gratnells range is designed
as an integrated storage system, so
everything fits everything else, within
the respective Classic or Compact
range. That means, for example, an
individual patient’s surgical kit can be
pre-prepared on a tray in the morning,
left on a storage rack until it’s time for
the operation, then slotted straight into
one of our trolleys to be wheeled into
the operating theatre.
Q. Can I buy exactly what I need?
A. Yes. There is no minimum order or
a requirement to buy a ‘set’ of frames,
trays and trolleys. Frames can be
bought empty or pre-installed with
the trays and baskets you need. Or any
combination in-between. If a single
trolley is all you need, we can provide
that for you. Just go to our website at
www.gratnellsveterinary.com to see the
full range on offer.
