What is a Kit-Cart?

A kit- cart is most often used as a form of material presentation. Kitting carts are used in particular along assembly lines, workstations and service areas. Kit-carts allow the facility or factory to produce a kit of materials and tools to the assembler during the assembly time. This means that the assembler/operator is no longer searching for different components and tools. This makes the assembly process much smoother and easier for the assembler, which in turn improves overall efficiency and productivity within your plant.

Why buy a FlexQube Kit-Cart?

FlexQube allows our customers to create totally customized carts for their needs, according to the materials and according to their work processes. All of our carts are designed and constructed with high-quality steel, so our kit-carts have a much higher load capacity in comparison to more traditional tube and joint systems.

With more and more variants of the end-product for manufacturers nowadays and especially OEMs within the automotive industry, there is not enough room to store all the different part numbers at the assembly line at the same time. Therefore, components need to be provided just in time or in sequence or in smaller batches using e.g. kit-carts or cart where you store different part numbers but in smaller quantities. Many times, you refer to this as naked material presentation. That means that the components are being presented to the operator at the production line or at the workstation without any emballage, plastic covering or taken out of the box and placed in a position where the operator can just grab the part without spending any extra time on unwrapping the items.

Kitting parts means that more of the work related to material handling is transferred back to the warehouse or logistics employees. The space on the assembly line and the pace on the assembly line is crucial which means that the operators and assemblers cannot spend any unnecessary time unwrapping parts or opening cardboard boxes. They must concentrate on putting the part onto the end-product and let the material handling tasks be handled by the logistics people. Kit-carts is a useful tool in all this and the need for flexible solutions is, of course, great since the shape, dimensions, quantity, etc. will change over time. Using a flexible and modular system like the one from FlexQube makes it possible to adjust and adapt the kit-cart to the continually changing needs.

FlexQube have cantilever-style carts to hold pipes, rods, wire ropes or hoses. We have delivered these solutions to a variety of industries, including heavy industrial equipment companies like JLG Industries, Cummins, and Doosan Infracore. Other references for kit carts are Whirlpool and Isringhausen.

Kit-carts means that the carts are being used to transport a limited amount of parts to the assembly operations, in some cases also in sequence meaning that the parts must be put onto the cart in a specific order to make sure the operators pick the right part for the right product. Also of course important to setup the kit-cart in an efficient way to make sure the picking time both in the warehouse but even more important, at the assembly line, is kept short.

By gathering information about batch sizes, sequence, a mix of parts and other parameters, FlexQube can help customers design and adapt the perfect kit-cart. A kit-cart with built-in flexibility for upcoming changes in component design and manufacturing mix etc.

A kit-cart can be used for one specific type of components or as an all-in-one kit cart for multiple different components. They can vary in size and complexity. If the kit cart holds very large or heavy parts, it is essential to consider lifting tools and make sure those can access the component at the assembly line.

In the kit carts category on our Solutions Library platform you will find several different designs that can help you bring the material to the operators in a better and quality assured manner.
