Smaller, AKA “low boy” or “L shaped” stock carts
These folding utility carts are used by employees to move products from storage rooms to operational areas.  In retail outfits, they are used by store clerks to stock shelves.  In restaurants, they are used to move boxes of frozen foods from cold storage to kitchen areas.  In nursing homes, they are utilized to move patient care products from the supply room to patient care areas.  Medical facilities also use them to move those little boxes of free samples that doctors give us before we actually have to pay for our prescriptions.  Offices use them to stock office supply store rooms.  The key features of this type of cart are compact design, lightweight build, and a light load capacity that any person of any physique can easily maneuver.

Heavy Duty Folding Utility Carts with Two Handles
This category of carts is used to move loads weighing up to 1,500 pounds.  They are built with handles on both ends so two operators can balance and guide extremely heavy loads.  Their most popular use is in warehouses where fork trucks cannot be used either because of size limitations of the actual building, or because the warehouse is so full that larger vehicles cannot easily maneuver in crowded spaces.  Two handle designs are not just built with human safety in mind, although that always is our first consideration in material handling products.  The two handle design also allows two users to better balance a load which would inevitably suffer damage or breakage if it tips off the platform.  Fragile items, even if they are not very heavy, may require a two-handled cart to minimize the possibilities of breakage.

Route Delivery Folding Utility Carts
These carts look like smaller “L Shaped” stock carts, but they are designed for bulk delivery and therefore both weigh more and can handle more weight, than smaller stock carts.  More often than not, they are used to transport groups of identical items, such as packs of bottled water, packs of beer, frozen foods in boxes, cleaning products, and office products.  Their specific, intended use is to move these products off of delivery trucks directly to the storeroom of a store, restaurant, or office.
