FlexQube’s Top 7 Shelf Carts
Shelf carts have become a common application used within facilities and factories. They can be towed using a tugger within a tugger train system and also pushed manually by an operator. Generally, shelf carts are used to transport totes, bins, boxes or other materials.
Shelf carts have become a favourite amongst our customers in helping to reduce the need for forklift traffic. Reducing this forklift traffic is becoming more and more of an objective for facilities globally, and the use of shelf carts helps in this transition.
Our flexible concept allows you to manually alter and customize your shelf carts as you please, even after delivery. Because our solutions are bolted together and not welded, it means our customers can change the shelf height of our shelf carts, we can add or remove tow bars, and handle bars, and even remove total shelves if needed. The choice is totally up to you, and therefore our shelf carts are quickly becoming a popular solution, because of the ability for you to personalize the cart to suit you.
