A new material handling system. An army of existing push carts. The challenge? Tow existing push carts throughout the plant using a custom designed mother cart that’s both adaptable and economical.
The solution? The Hamilton Mother Cart XT2759.
It’s open on one side so the customer’s existing carts can be pushed in easily. Spring loaded mold-on rubber locking wheels retract inside the cart’s frame when the daughter carts reach their resting spot against the dock bumpers.
A quick touch advances the control lever to the locked position and the over center toggle linkage is engaged to securely lock the cart for transport.
Locked and loaded, wheels equipped with precision tapered bearings handle the thrust loads during towing. Hamilton’s precise steering geometry ensures that the cart will follow seamlessly, minimizing wheel scrub, vibration and wear.
The end result is world-class equipment tailored for our customer’s exact application. Case closed.
