Creform Corporation (Greer, SC) has developed a bagged compartment picking cart for an auto parts manufacturer. Working in a collaborative effort with the user, Creform engineers developed a kitting cart that holds light weight parts that require surface protection, as well as uniquely shaped parts that need to be held in separate compartments. Storage in discrete compartments is a good way to protect parts from damage during transport and to also separate them for quick identification and easy loading/unloading. Keeping them separate also keeps them from nesting or tangling. Additionally:
- The cart’s framework is built using Creform 28mm plastic coated steel pipe and metal joints that provide the necessary strength and durability yet allows the cart to remain flexible.
- The cart can be loaded from either side and is sewn together with hanging bags that are custom made for size and position.
- The individual bags are hung within the Creform pipe and joint framework via sewn in web loops. The bag is made of cloth covered corrugated for strength and durability.
- Depending on the design, compartment bag carts can accommodate various types of materials, from small parts to larger tools. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.
- By utilizing vertical space efficiently, compartment bag carts can help maximize storage capacity while minimizing the footprint. This is especially useful in crowded or limited-space environments.
The cart measures 58” W x 39” D x 74” H, can hold up to 600 lb. and features four 5 in. diameter casters wheels for easy, stable and safe movement in any direction. Wheels lend themselves to easily moving the structure for housekeeping and/or repositioning.
