Creform Corporation has designed a five-level shelf cart for an aerospace parts manufacturer.

The five-level cart helps improve the user’s workflow efficiency and helps minimize downtime by ensuring all necessary components are easily accessible and simplifies restocking and inventory tracking by centralizing items in a designated location.

This cart features five lightweight corrugated plastic shelves supported by Creform pipes and includes custom foam cutouts to provide product stability and protection while the cart is in motion. The number of levels enhances organization of tools, components, and materials neatly at the point-of-use area. The adjustable shelves can also be set to ergonomic heights for associates and helps reduce the likelihood of errors or defects in the assembly process by keeping parts clean, organized, and ready for use.

The cart’s dimensions are 58″ L x 40″ W x 63″ T and is designed to hold up to 800 lb. The unit is constructed with Creform 28mm white gray color pipe and black metal joints. Creform shelf carts allow users to create tailored solutions that fit their specific needs, whether that is size, number of shelves, or additional features.

The cart features four swivel casters and two fixed ergonomic casters that provide for easy rolling, positioning and maneuverability. The swivel casters at the corners ensure stability and allow the cart to be pushed down aisles but also easily moved laterally.

The lightweight and portable, yet robust Creform cart can be moved from the kitting area to the point of assembly. Other alternative uses besides kitting are assembly line support and order picking. The cart’s versatility is suitable for manufacturing or warehouse environments and is excellent for small component storage.

As with all Creform carts, higher capacity and custom cart sizes and configurations are possible with the Creform system of 28 mm and 42 mm plastic coated steel pipes and metal joints. They can be configured for ESD (anti-static) applications. The modular nature of Creform carts provides added value and ensures that if there is any damage or worn components replacement parts are readily available.

Although the cart pictured is white gray, a wide variety of pipe color options are available, and upgrade hitches are available for AGV delivery. Accessories include hooks, labels as well as writing surfaces with clip boards to name a few. Creform carts are available as a kit, assembled structure or in component form for a complete DIY solution.
