Kitting Cart Enhances Material, Component Handling Capacity
The Creform System features a custom five-level shelf section with pullout drawers to easily and safely transport materials, components and other devices through a warehouse or facility.
Creform Corp., a manufacturer of products for material handling and commercial use, has designed and built a kitting cart. While it is originally aimed at aerospace manufacturers, it has potential applications for mold builders as well.
The unit, with dimensions of 96" L x 48" W x 63" T and designed to hold up to 600 lb., features a custom five-level shelf section on the left with pullout drawers. Each drawer features a solid surface and a lip around the perimeter to help ensure the product does not move during transit. The right side of the cart has four shelf levels with solid surfaces. The cart has a top shelf that acts as a dust cover as well as for overflow storage if needed.
It features six 5" diameter casters for easy, stable and safe movement. A foot activated floor lock is included for additional stopping precision. Wheels lend themselves to easily moving the structure for transport, housekeeping and/or repositioning while its open design makes it easy for the user to visually survey the parts stored and to quickly retrieve the desired parts. The cart is also ideal for temporary storage of all the parts needed for a job.
As with all Creform carts, higher capacity and custom cart sizes and configurations are possible. They can be configured for ESD (anti-static) applications. Cart’s design suitable for either manufacturing or warehouse use, commercial or military.
A wide variety of pipe color options are available and upgrade hitches are available for AGV or tugger delivery. Accessories include hooks, label holders for shelf levels or even shelf positions, pockets for paperwork, writing surface with clip boards, just to name a few. Creform carts are available as a kit, assembled structure or in component form for a complete DIY solution. Built with clamp together metal joints for easy changes or repairs.
