At M&R Speciality Trailers and Trucks, innovation meets practicality with our latest build—a 24-foot battery-powered medical exam trailer. This impressive mobile unit is designed for ultimate convenience and efficiency, making it possible to bring healthcare services to any location without being dependent on external power sources.
“We wanted to build something that could operate anywhere, and this trailer does just that,” says Richard Willis, highlighting the trailer’s ability to function without a generator. Get a full tour of this unit in the video below.
Key Features:
- 2 Roof AC Units
- 2 Exam Rooms: Fully equipped with sinks, exam tables, and storage.
- Blood Draw Chair
- Bathroom: Complete with an RV toilet and sink.
- Lobby: Designed with comfort in mind for waiting patients.
At the heart of this trailer is its cutting-edge battery system, featuring three 5,000Wh 100Ah batteries, paired with an 850W 120V charger and a 6kW inverter/charger. This combination ensures that the unit is not only powerful but also versatile, able to run completely off battery power.
This power setup is ideal for a medical exam trailer because the three 5,000Wh 100Ah batteries provide ample energy to run essential medical equipment and climate control, ensuring continuous operation even in remote locations.
The 6kW inverter/charger efficiently converts stored energy to power everything from exam rooms to air conditioning units, while the 850W 120V charger allows the batteries to be recharged easily via standard outlets. This system offers flexibility, reliability, and quiet operation, making it perfect for delivering medical care on the go without the need for noisy generators or fuel.
Why Battery Power Is a Game Changer
One of the standout benefits of this unit is its ability to function entirely off battery power. In the video, the presenter points out, “You’ll notice something really interesting about this trailer—you don’t see a generator,” emphasizing the efficiency and quiet nature of the battery system. With the 5,000Wh batteries and a powerful charging system, the trailer can operate in remote locations, without the need for a noisy, fuel-dependent generator.
Here are some key advantages:
- Mobility and Flexibility: The battery-powered system allows the trailer to operate anywhere—from rural clinics to disaster relief zones—without relying on a consistent electricity source. This makes it perfect for healthcare providers who need to reach patients in hard-to-access areas.
- Quiet, Clean Energy: “We’re running completely on battery power right now,” the presenter notes, underscoring how the trailer operates silently. This is an important factor for medical environments and eliminates the need for gas or diesel, making it a greener, more eco-friendly option.
- Cost Efficiency: Over time, a battery-powered system can save money by reducing fuel consumption and minimizing maintenance needs compared to traditional generator-based systems. This makes it a cost-effective choice for long-term mobile healthcare operations.
- Reliable Power: With two exam rooms, blood draw chairs, and the ability to run two roof AC units, this medical trailer can function smoothly under a variety of conditions while maintaining a comfortable environment for both patients and healthcare staff. “We’ve got all of our power needs covered with the battery bank and inverter,” the presenter explains.
Expanding the Possibilities of Medical Trailers

- Mobile Dental Clinics: Fully equipped with dental chairs, X-ray machines, and sterilization equipment, these trailers are designed to bring full dental care services to underserved areas or for emergency use.
- Vision Screening Trailers: These trailers are perfect for mobile eye exams and can even be set up to prescribe glasses on-site.
- Blood Donation Trailers: Built for blood drives, these trailers come with donor chairs and refrigerated storage for blood collection, making it easier to collect donations on the go.
- Specialty Care Units: I can also build trailers customized for specific medical fields, like cardiology, dermatology, or oncology. Each trailer can be outfitted with the right equipment for your needs.
How Much Space is There?
In a 24-foot medical exam trailer, you can typically accommodate 2–3 staff members, including a doctor, nurse, or technician, working comfortably at the same time. With two exam rooms, the space allows for treating one or two patients simultaneously, depending on the setup. Additionally, the lobby can hold 1–2 patients waiting for their appointments.
So, overall, the trailer could comfortably operate with around 3–5 people inside at once, including both staff and patients. The design can be customized to fit specific needs, but this is a general estimate for smooth and efficient operation.
In addition to the comfortable space inside, you can easily collect information and process patients outside of the trailer before they meet with a doctor, nurse, or specialist. This allows for a more efficient workflow, reducing the number of people inside at any given time and ensuring a smooth patient experience. Whether through a mobile check-in station or outdoor seating, the flexibility of this setup helps maintain a steady flow of patients while optimizing the use of space inside the trailer.
No matter what type of medical service you need, I can build a trailer that’s fully customized to deliver quality healthcare anywhere.
The battery-powered medical exam trailer is an ideal solution for modern, mobile healthcare. Its ability to operate anywhere, combined with the eco-friendly and cost-saving benefits of battery power, makes it a revolutionary tool for healthcare providers looking to expand their reach. Whether it’s serving patients in rural communities or providing essential services in disaster zones, this trailer offers reliable, quiet, and efficient power anywhere.
