Wheeled Carts
Why carry when you can push or pull?
Assembly lines require wheeled carts on the floor when fixed or fully automated material flow systems (like conveyors or AGVs) aren’t practical, flexible enough, or cost-effective. In modern manufacturing—especially in environments like precision machining, fabrication, or mixed model assembly—carts play a critical role in keeping production moving efficiently.
Materials and Options
- Steel
- Aluminum
- Heavy-duty casters
- Soft, non-marking casters
- Locking and free-wheeling casters
- Swivel and stationary casters
- Handles and hand pulls
- Hitches and tow bars
Common Applications
- High-mix, low-volume production lines where fixed conveyors become restrictive
- Flexible or cellular manufacturing environments that require parts to move between workstations
- Large or awkward components that are too heavy or irregular for standard conveyors
- Work-in-progress buffering
- Areas too tight for fork lifts or heavy machinery
- Maintenance, downtime or overflow situations where carts can keep material moving and prevent costly interruptions
