While more and more products pile into warehouses around the country, interior space comes at a premium. The result? Boxes piled to the rafters and aisles rapidly shrinking in size. Fortunately for a major tractor manufacturer, we supplied them with custom four-wheel, auto-steer carts that thrive in their crowded warehouses.
Unlike conventional carts, these easily move about with synchronized front and rear wheels. When the front wheels turn left, the back wheels turn right. So no matter what hazards line an aisle, the operator can maneuver around them without wrecking any precious cargo, or even worse – a person. They’re also more stable because the wheels stay under the corners during turns, hence the name "auto-steer."
Not only are they built for maneuverability and stability, they’re designed for massive hauls – two tons to be exact. They also pack 16”-diameter, dual-pneumatic tires with 1-1/4 precision-tapered bearings at each corner. The loop-type tongue and the pintle hitch at the rear allow the carts to tow multiple trailers simultaneously.
