JACO UltraLite Mobile Cart Series
TRAC™ TESTED
SAFEGUARD
YOUR TEAM Moving a heavy mobile cart without TRAC Steering increases a nurse’s physical strain and puts stress on their joints, knees and backs which can lead to debilitating and potentially career ending injuries. For world-classes health systems, TRAC Steering is a must have for its ability to safeguard their most valued asset, their team of healthcare professionals.
After being provided with some simple driving instructions, nurses were able to enjoy the benefits of effortless, one-handed, TRAC Steering down long hallways, around sharp corners, and in and out of patient rooms.

In-Line Steering
“Wow… I can’t believe how controlled the cart is when walking down hallways; It’s so much safer and easier to use than our old heavier workstations which, even with the required two-hand contact at all times, meandered from side-to-side.
TRAC™ Engaged Standard Mobility
Tight Cornering
“I used to have to fight my cart around corners. It was like we were on opposite magnetic poles– The cart always wanting to keep going straight, leaving me strained to slow it down in order to force a corner. It was like it had a mind of its own. TRAC Steering solves cornering. With a simple turn of the cart, it heads in a new direction without having to exert any additional effort.”

Bedside Maneuvering
“With pinpoint responsiveness, TRAC allows me to be more confident and efficient when steering a cart bedside – I no longer have to be concerned for my patients’ safety. What used to be a 3-point turn with my old cart is now a seamless rotation and I’m on to my next task. Simply put, TRAC Steering makes my job easier, enabling me to be more productive and freeing me from frustration to do what I do best.
