Utility Carts

January 2013

Did you know that there is a type of kitchen equipment, that whether you work in a convenience store, restaurant, hotel, or anything in between, most of you use some version of it? Well, there is! It’s a utility cart. This month we are highlighting this common item that most people have or need. We carry a wide variety of styles. Before you purchase your next utility cart, make note of how many shelves you need, how much weight you will be carrying and what your main usage will be.

There are many different types: open shelf, open base, tray base, pan base, folding, tub, and laundry. They can have anywhere from one shelf to three shelves. Some carts have specialty features such as a pull-out keyboard attachment, or an under-shelf cabinet. They all come with casters, but the sizes and types vary. They range from swivel and fixed, 3.5 inches to 8 inches,and braking or non-braking. Lastly, you need to think about what you will be toting around on your cart, because they each come with a weight limit starting at 200 pounds, up to 1000 pounds. Most warranties are voided if you use more weight than what the cart is made to hold.
