Custom Industrial Carts
Discover hidden productivity in your facility with custom tranport carts! Container Exchanger will work with you to design and customize any type of tow-behind or person-driven cart for your facility. So many plants will experience massive savings by replacing forklifts with tugs and replacing pallets with a custom cart. Tugs can pull many carts behind them and they are much, much more efficient than using forklifts for all of the pickup and deliveries from each station! One client even reduced their forklift count from 100 forklifts to 30 forklifts by implementing high quality carts in their facility. Any of the below carts will be made-to-order and will use top of the line casters and towing equipment. These things are built like TANKS! Get with Container Exchanger to uncover new productivity for you facility, make the move to our robust, reusable carts.
Transport Carts FAQs
What's the Weight Capacity of a Typical Industrial Transport Cart?
It varies widely by frame and caster rating, but industrial transport carts in our inventory commonly range from a few hundred pounds up to 2,000+ lbs of capacity on heavy-duty units. Capacity is a function of frame gauge, deck material, and caster rating together -- check all three on the listing, not just one.
What's the Difference Between a Transport Cart and a Platform Truck?
The terms overlap in practice, but 'transport cart' generally implies a cart built for repeated point-to-point movement of material within a facility, while 'platform truck' sometimes implies a flatbed design meant for general hauling. If you're not sure which fits your use case, tell your rep what you're moving and over what distance and they'll point you to the right listings.
Do These Carts Come With Brakes?
Many heavier-duty transport carts include locking or braked casters, especially on units rated for use on any kind of grade or near loading docks. Check the caster spec on the individual listing -- it's usually called out specifically because it matters for safety on anything but a flat, level floor.
Can I Get a Custom Deck Size?
New transport carts can be built to a custom deck size and capacity. For standard sizes, used inventory is usually available faster and at a lower cost -- browse current listings or ask your rep to flag matching inventory as it comes in.
