What Is a Utility Cart?
A utility cart is a product consisting of a prop, shelves, cabinets (drawers), panels, etc., and is often used around the main work area. There are two main types of utility carts: mobile carts with casters and fixed carts without casters. Other variations include lightweight, medium-weight, and heavyweight types by load capacity. The product category also includes various products made of stainless steel and other materials.
Uses of Utility Carts
Utility carts are used in diverse situations. Basically, the greatest advantage of tool wagons is that they can store tools and other items and be easily moved to any location for work. For this reason, many types of casters are available to meet the needs of each site.
The uppermost section can be used as a work surface for simple work, or a wooden top board can be attached and used as a mini workbench.
Principle of Utility Carts
Most utility carts are composed of a combination of four columns and shelves or cabinets. Functionality is largely determined by the selection of casters, which can be customized according to the characteristics of the site, such as rubber, nylon, elastomer, urethane, and twin-wheel color wheels.
Shelves can be flat or countersunk to expand the range of applications, and cabinets can be selected from shallow, deep, and ultra-deep types to suit the storage items.
Other options include perforated panels with hooks for tools, stoppers to prevent spray cans and other items from falling from shelves, and shelf mats to make it easier to work on the tops of shelves. In order to realize a wide range of size variations, to enable various functional structures by combining different components, and to reduce transportation costs, the knockdown method (assembly type structure) is used to enable large inventory, which is assembled on-site at the destination.
