Unlocking the Code to Choosing the Right Industrial Cart

There are many types of industrial carts. Faced with various choices, how to choose the industrial trolley that is most suitable for you? We suggest that you consider the following aspects before choosing.

What type or types of material will you be moving?

 According to the characteristics and types of different materials to be transported, we recommend the following types of carts:

1. Heavy Cargo: Choose a cart with a solid structure and strong carrying capacity, such as a heavy-duty cart or a forklift-type cart.
2. Bulk Materials: Choose a cart with a container or fence to prevent materials from scattering.
3. Liquid Materials: Choose a liquid transport cart with a leak-proof design.
4. Small Parts and Assemblies: Carts with tiers or dividers for easy sorting and organization.
5. Long Strip Materials: Choose a cart with an extended flat plate.
6. Fragile Items: Carts with buffers and protection devices to reduce the risk of collision.
7. Valuable Items: Carts with safety locks and anti-theft functions.
8. Powder Materials: Closed cart to prevent dust from flying.
9. Refrigerated or Frozen Materials: Refrigerated carts with good thermal insulation properties.
10. Dangerous Goods: Special carts that comply with relevant safety standards.

How to choose the load and capacity of the cart?

1. Material Weight: Make sure the load-carrying capacity of the cart is greater than the material weight, and reserve about 10% of the load margin.
2. Volume Requirements: Choose the appropriate volume size based on the volume and quantity of the material. A cart with appropriate capacity can increase loading efficiency by 20%-30%.
3. Space Restrictions: Ensure that the cart can move flexibly in the workplace. The width of the cart should preferably not exceed 80% of the aisle width.
4. Stacking Requirements: If materials need to be stacked, the height and stability of the cart need to be considered. Generally speaking, a stacking height of 1.5-2 meters is safer.
5. Safety Factors: Avoid overloading, which may increase the accident rate by more than 50%.

How to choose the appropriate wheel type based on material weight?

1. Heavy Materials: Choose wheels with strong carrying capacity, such as solid wheels or pneumatic wheels.
2. Medium-weight Materials: Universal wheels are a good choice for easy and flexible steering.
3. Ground Conditions: Smooth ground: ordinary wheels are sufficient.Uneven floors: Choose wheels with good shock absorption properties.
4. Wheel Material: Common wheels include rubber wheels and polyurethane wheels. Rubber wheels: have better grip and cushioning properties.Polyurethane wheel: wear-resistant and strong load-bearing capacity.
