Discover the Best Industrial Carts for Your Business

Our industrial carts come in various weight capacities and sizes to help you transport heavy boxes or lighter laundry loads.

Browse through our top product types and recommendations from the industry's leading brands below, including Rubbermaid Commercial, Boardwalk, Advantus, and Kantek.

Hand Truck

Commercial hand trucks like the Safco Tuff Economy Truck have two large wheels and a small platform that can handle weights of up to 400 lb to lighten those heavy loading jobs. These steel carts offer a safer alternative to manual lifting by sliding right underneath items to be transported, along with a P-Loop handle for easy maneuverability.

Looking for a more lightweight option? Try the Safco HideAway Aluminum Hand Truck to carry loads of up to 250 lb. With a collapsible handle and fold-up steel toe plate, this model fits easily into cupboards and vans, making it the perfect on-the-go solution for transportation.

Tilt Truck

With their sturdy plastic construction that won't dent, rust, chip, or peel, tilt trucks make a safer, easier to operate, and more cost-effective alternative to forklifts for heavy loads. We'd recommend the Rubbermaid Commercial Structural Foam Tilt Truck, which is available in capacities from 450 lb up to 2100 lb.

This model is made with durable polyethylene and comes complete with a powder-coated steel frame that protects against corrosion, meaning that it can be stored outside during all weathers.

Rotomolded plastic tilt trucks, such as this one from Rubbermaid Commercial, feature center swivel back casters, inset wheels, and a constant force. These elements provide smooth handling and maneuverability, allowing for controlled operation by just one person.

Industrial Dolly

Heavy-duty dollies like the Brute Round Twist On/Off Dolly are designed to move trash cans smoothly across rough and uneven surfaces. With a steady, mobile base and non-marking casters, dollies can transport up to 250 lbs quickly and quietly through any restaurant, hotel, school, or office.

They also have an innovative twist-lock design that keeps receptacles from 20 to 55 gallons mounted securely, preventing any trash from falling or spillages during transportation.

Utility & Cube Truck

Collect waste or handle heavy construction materials with a multi-purpose Cube Truck from Rubbermaid Commercial.

Made from a polyethylene construction for break resistance, its metal frame offers durable support, while the smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning after leaking or spillages. The diamond casters pattern of this cube truck provides superior maneuverability and also helps to conceal loads without reducing capacity, making it the perfect option for hospitality businesses transporting laundry.

Integrate a two-in-one utility cart and refuse bin into your commercial cart to enhance your ability to multitask while transporting goods or cleaning. Convenient top handles and bottom grip simplify emptying tasks and the smooth surface also helps to streamline post-use cleaning.

4 Benefits of Choosing Quality Industrial Carts

Whether you're managing goods in warehouses or overseeing hotel laundry collection, you'll know that speed and efficiency are key to maintaining daily operations. While these tasks can be performed manually or with forklifts, industrial carts provide a safer, more cost-effective solution.

Here's why you should consider purchasing an industrial cart for your company's material handling jobs:

1. Enhanced Safety

Operating a forklift can be tricky and dangerous if not done after the proper training, leading to potential workplace accidents. Internal combustion forklifts are also noisy and give out fumes, which are harmful to both the environment and workers within the working environment.

In contrast, carts offer a variety of safety features to reduce the risk of injury, including industrial-strength swivel casters, brakes, and ergonomic handles.

2. Easy Storage

Choosing an industrial cart over a forklift maximizes floor space as they are much more compact. When not in use, they can be stacked or even folded away, making more room for machinery and reducing trip hazards.

3. Highly Versatile

From large security carts to smaller dollies, carts come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and capacities, which means they can be adapted to many different jobs.

Use them to load and unload machinery, stack pallets, move boxes, transport linen, and get rid of trash; whatever you need, they provide an efficient, low-effort way to move goods, therefore boosting productivity and minimizing downtime.

4. Reduced Costs

Not only is purchasing a forklift an expensive investment, but running and maintenance costs are also high. Compared with heavy machinery, industrial carts can be run cheaply without the need for expensive fuel or electricity, generally require less maintenance, and have longer lifespans.

FAQs

Still unsure of whether an industrial cart is the best material handling solution for your workplace? Check out our frequently asked questions below for more information on these durable transportation vessels:

What is the Difference Between Industrial Carts and Dollies?

While an industrial cart stands upright and features a handle or push bar and two large wheels, dollies have a mobile platform with four wheels for balance and maneuverability. This makes carts more appropriate for tall and heavy items that need to be stacked and moved, whereas you must be able to lift goods onto dollies to transport them.

What Are the Advantages of an Industrial Cart?

Thanks to their variety of ergonomic features, using an industrial cart to transport heavy loads is a much safer option than using a forklift, which requires special training to operate. Carts are also highly versatile, cheaper to purchase and maintain, as well as being better for the environment than other types of fuel or electricity-operated handling equipment.

What is the Purpose of a Utility Cart?

Utility carts or trucks are ideal for moving, collecting, storing, and organizing goods in all types of work environments. This includes shipping areas, warehouses and stockrooms, offices, mailrooms, hospitals, schools, restaurants and hotels, and retail spaces. They come in metal, plastic, or wire frames for durability and easy maneuverability across all surfaces.
