Abatement Technologies AG5000 Containment Cart – 900 lb, 80–124″ ICRA

ICRA-Ready Ceiling Access Containment for Hospital Construction and Renovation

The Abatement Technologies AIRE GUARDIAN AG5000 is a portable dust containment cart engineered for ICRA Class III–IV projects in healthcare, institutional, and commercial settings. Its anodized aluminum frame and clear polycarbonate windows collapse to a 32″ × 66.5″ × 20″ footprint for corridor transport, then extend to ceiling heights from 80″ to 124″ using fire-retardant white nylon fabric. At 230 lbs with 900 lb-rated locking casters, the AG5000 supports heavy HEPA air scrubbers and negative pressure equipment without flexing.

AG5000 Frame, Access, and Containment Construction

• Adjustable height: 80″ to 124″ — accommodates standard 8-ft and 10-ft (3 m) ceilings without extension hardware
• Anodized aluminum frame with polycarbonate windows — corrosion-resistant, site-visible, professional appearance for occupied facilities
• 900 lb-rated locking casters — carry full equipment load; lock in place during operation to prevent drift
• Zippered entry doors and top ceiling-access openings — workers enter and exit without breaking the containment barrier
• Integrated negative air scrubber port — connect a HEPA air scrubber (e.g., PRED750) for negative pressure operation per ICRA protocols
• Documentation pouch — holds work orders, ICRA permits, and inspection forms at the cart exterior
• Collapsible two-person setup — assembles and disassembles without tools for rapid deployment between rooms
• Built-in lift handles and pull handle — ergonomic transport through standard doorways and corridors

Where the AG5000 Is Deployed

The AG5000 is purpose-built for above-ceiling infrastructure work in environments that cannot be shut down: hospital corridors, cleanroom suites, operating wing renovation, and occupied office renovations. Contractors use it to isolate ceiling tile removal, above-ceiling HVAC and electrical work, sprinkler system modifications, and fire suppression inspections. Its clear polycarbonate panels satisfy facility managers who need visual confirmation that workers are contained. The cart also serves manufacturing plants and pharmaceutical production floors where particle counts must stay controlled during maintenance windows.

ICRA Compliance, Compatible Accessories, and What Ships

ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) Class III and IV projects in The Joint Commission-accredited facilities require physical barriers that prevent airborne dust from migrating into patient care areas. The AG5000’s sealed perimeter, negative air port, and zipper entry system satisfy those requirements when combined with a HEPA-filtered air scrubber maintaining at least -0.01 in. w.g. negative pressure differential. OSHA 1926.1153 also references dust control barriers for silica-generating tasks — the AG5000’s containment perimeter addresses that standard for interior renovation work. The cart ships as one assembled unit; optional accessories ordered separately include the AG5000-SA Side Wall Access Panel, PRED750 Portable HEPA Air Scrubber, AG-CADDY accessory cart, and V8000WD HEPA vacuum.
