Q: What Is Standard Sizing?
Most commonly, these are designed to accommodate a standard 40×48 pallet. We often adjust sizing per our customer’s specifications – if you let us know what you’ll be transporting on the carts, we’ll work with you to find the best solution!
Q: What Is The Modular Stacking Cart’s Intended Use?
Versatile, independent, and mobile access to multiple different components. It’s easily configurable to fit a variety of different projects, and always able to adjust to your current workload.
Very useful when handling cosmetic parts that need to keep separated.
“Fab Shop” example: you’re running a cosmetic stainless job, and the lasered blanks need to go to the press brakes for forming. With the modular stacking cart, the laser operator can configure the cart to hold all the parts needed, without any scratches, and with independent access for the brake operator – then, as the brake operator is forming the parts, he/she can remove the tiers and keep continuous workflow without excess handling.
Q: What Is The Difference Between Modular Stacking Carts And Rolling Pallet Carts?
The Modular Stacking Carts have multiple levels for part/component placement, while the Rolling Pallet Carts are single level.
Q: How Heavy Is Each Tier?
Depending on size, we always try to keep the tiers under 40 lbs. for operator safety.
Q: What Are The Carts Made Of?
The base cart is a steel weldment, and each stacking tier is an aluminum weldment. If the tiers are for a heavier-duty application, steel can be used in its place.
Q: What Is The Load Rating Per Tier?
500 lb uniform load rating for each aluminum tier. If you have requirements for heavier loads, we can change materials and add more reinforcement crossmembers.
Q: How High Can You Stack The Tiers Of The Cart?
We do not recommend exceeding 6’ tall in a cumulative stack. Although they could be stacked higher, we recommend keeping it at an ergonomic max height for an operator so he/she is not reaching above head-level.
Q: Can You Add Custom Features?
Yes! We specialize in customization. If you have custom ideas for a cart, you are in the right place. We have added custom handles, casters, dimensions, flanges and more to our carts. We would love to hear your ideas!
Q: What Is The Lead Time?
Depending on the quantity and current workload, lead time is typically between 3-4 weeks.
Q: Do The Modular Stacking Carts Come Fully Assembled?
All carts ship fully assembled so they are ready to use as soon as you receive them. We want to make this an easy plug-and-play for you!
Q: What Is The Top Surface Of The Modular Stacking Cart?
The top surface is either aluminum or steel, pending your preference.
We also offer rubber top layers for a small cost. This is highly recommended for the extra protection to your parts, and the added friction to prevent sliding parts.
