We’ve shown you how a defense contractor lugs 3-ton tanks around its factory. Now here’s another unusual request: Custom carts to haul awkward-sized aluminum extrusions for a top-secret U.S. military project. Here are the specs of these extraterrestrial rigs:
- • Each cart is 42” wide by 192” long with oak hardwood decks (they can take a beating).
- • Five evenly spaced internal sockets along the deck edges allow for two 12” removable sides, also made of hardwood.
- • Permanent racks stand 60” above the deck with arms extending 18” from the cart’s center.
- • Pipe insulation covers each rack for quiet operation.
- • Running gear consists of two swivel and a pair of rigid Champion, forged-steel casters with 10” by 2 ½ Duralast® wheels equipped with precision ball bearings.
- • Cart rated for loads up to 3,000 lbs.
