Why would you choose a dolly or cart over a forklift?

These items are significantly safer than forklifts since you are talking less weight and full control for operators on the line. In addition to being safer, there's a real opportunity to become more productive using carts and dollies. One way this happens is through staging – the moment a product runs out on the line, the operator can immediately move in another cart, either with a tugger or by hand. This allows products to move faster and more efficiently than with a forklift. Increase productivity even further with adjustable height utility carts, allowing an operator to work according to their workplace ergonomic requirements. Obviously, the goal is to make it easier to reach into taller bins at a quicker pace. Carts and dollies allow continuous supply to the line efficiently and help maximize productivity, allowing workers to experience less fatigue and fewer repetitive motion injuries.

Built to last in a demanding environment

RPP Containers' products can sustain heavy-duty requirements and are built to last. We feel it is important to purchase an industrial cart or industrial dolly that is durable enough to withstand even the most demanding of manufacturing environments. We have collaborated with suppliers and customers for over eight years making industrial carts and industrial dollies. With each project, we strive to refine and increase the rigidity of our carts and dollies, making them more economical, ergonomic, and able to hold up within rough manufacturing environments.

Our standard size dollies are 30 x 32", 40 x 48", and 45 x 48" sizes made using 3-gauge steel that can comfortably support 2,000 lbs. weight capacity. Powder-coated black is standard, but we offer other colors if the quantity requested is sufficient. While we do not currently offer a standard industrial cart, these custom projects are ones we have done many times.

Improve efficiency and safety with industrial carts and dollies

Integrating an industrial cart or industrial dolly into the manufacturing line requires thought and planning for it to be most effective. At RPP Containers, we can help implement carts and dollies into your manufacturing line. Since we have among the best design capabilities in the industry, we can assist you with everything from the design of your cart to implementation. From there, we can walk you through the process and be at the ready during testing. 

Our industrial carts and dollies can help improve safety and efficiency in the workplace by tilting, turning, and linking together through a recessed hitch and towing package. Other options include non-black powder coating and fixed/swivel casters. Should the application parameters allow, we can even support fold-down/collapsibility.
