Heavy duty platform carts from Easy Rack can handle any size loads.

The one material handling device that comes in very handy for commercial or industrial customers is a platform cart or platform truck. Easy Rack's platform carts are some of the most well designed and fabricated on the market.

Utility platform carts from Easy Rack can handle loads up to 4,800 pounds and feature a solid platform and commercial grade wheels for stability. Our lightweight platform carts have a capacity of around 3,000 pounds which is ideal for lightweight situations.

One of the major advantages of a platform utility cart is that they can be nested on top of each other for storage. That is a tremendous benefit to anyone who is short on floor space or needs to have extra platform carts on hand for peak demands. There are different variations on the standard platform cart design available from Easy Rack. Some material handling carts feature fold down handles for easier storage and can be stacked if desired.

Most all of our platform rolling carts feature two swivel casters and two fixed, as this provides the highest levels of control possible without running the risk of the carts being able to run free and damage items as they are moved around while fully laden.

Choosing the right material handling equipment is not as difficult as you think. The material handling specialists at Easy Rack are ready to assist in navigating through the many choices you have. With a plethora of various carts to choose from, rest assured Easy Rack has a platform cart that will meet your requirements.

A quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening experience much more enjoyable.

Are you in the commercial nursery business, a landscaper, lawn service provider or just an avid gardener who loves being outdoors? Regardless of your situation using a quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening task much more enjoyable and certainly more productive.

Garden carts allow you to easily navigate rough terrains and safely transport bulk materials that your would otherwise have to carry or perhaps place in a wheel barrow. Wheel barrows can sometimes be clumsy or dangerous should your load shift or the front wheel hit an obstruction. Carrying such things as bags of mulch, stepping stones and fertilizer can be detrimental to your back. These risks are minimized with utility carts, garden carts or any rolling cart.

The highest quality materials are used throughout the construction of all our industrial carts and they all come fully powder coat finished to help them to resist corrosion that comes from chemicals, fertilizers and from just being outside in the garden. One of the most popular designs of lawn and garden carts available is a simple platform truck with four heavy duty pneumatic wheels. These platform garden trucks have a mesh bottom supported by metal spars that allows loose dirt to simply drop through onto the ground, while holding pots and sacks in place. The use of mesh also prevents rainwater from pooling on the platform, and reduces the risk of rusting.

These are commercial grade cart products that professionals use. You won't find these rolling carts at your local home center or hardware store. If you are interested in learning more about our material handling equipment and in particular, contact Easy Rack at 713-553-1122.

We are here to help and want to grow our relationship with you!

Commercial warehouse carts are the ticket for any lightweight material handling chores.

Commercial carts are a mainstay of the commercial and industrial market place when it comes to transporting materials and goods throughout a warehouse or office. I'm not talking about wood crates or giant boxes that may require a forklift or pallet movers but, small items that make up the bulk of warehouse activities.

Typically in a warehouse or store there is a constant flow of smaller items arriving from vendors, and being dispatched to both internal and external customers. This results in a range of different requirements so that goods are always carted in the most appropriate way. By utilizing Easy Rack commercial carts through all aspects of the distribution chain, you can ensure that items are received, stored, and transported to their final destination with a minimal effort or damage.

Normally when commercial bulk merchandise arrives from the supplier they come palletized and in large quantities that require more elaborate material handling equipment such as fork lifts with attachments. The reason for this is to make them easier to transport in large quantities, and also makes general storage a much easier proposition, as the pallets of goods can simply be stacked on pallet racks or transported using pallet trucks until required.

Depending on your particular business model, the merchandise will either be removed from the pallet and then delivered to customers by common carrier, through mail order or private delivery services. Easy Rack has a large number of different commercial rolling carts available that have been specially designed to effectively and safely move any size package. Larger items require more robust material handling carts, and smaller items do not.

If you maintain a system at your office or warehouse where workers individually pick items off the shelf in the warehouse to be sent out as a complete order, then a warehouse rolling cart is a perfect tool to keep orders separate, minimize mistakes and improve productivity.

We Specialize In Durable Material Handling Equipment , New & Used Pallet Racks, Industrial Shelving, Tire Storage Racks, Commercial Lighting, Industrial Ladders, Storage Racks, Gantry & Jib Cranes.

Call us at 713-553-1122 and let us help you make the best material handling investment within your budget. We are located in Houston Texas and look forward to your call partner!

Easy Rack rolling carts are some of the most reasonably priced material handling carts on the market.

Easy Rack rolling carts are some of the most practical, durable and reasonably priced material handling carts on the market. Whether you are looking for a simple plastic multi-level cart for moving files inside the office or a heavy duty utility cart for moving inventory items out in the warehouse, Easy Rack can hook you up with a solid solution.

Easy Rack uses only the best quality metal and plastic components when constructing material handling carts. The multi-level trays are made of high density plastic that wears well, and is resistant to most chemicals. The integrated design of the units has been set out with maximum ease of use in mind. They feature a usable area of 6 square feed per level, meaning that on a three tier model you will have an enormous amount of room in which to lay out any tools or other items when in use.

The rolling carts from Easy Rack have been designed for ease of control. Unlike supermarket shopping carts which can sometimes appear to have a mind of their own, these material handling carts feature two fixed casters and two that swivel. This allows for solid maneuvering around protective barriers or obstacles in the office or warehouse.

If you are considering purchasing a rolling warehouse cart, feel free to give us a call at 1-888-776-3720 or visit us online to see our vast selection of industrial shelving, storage racks, commercial lighting fixtures or ergonomic equipment for moving supplies and materials.

Moving merchandise can be a real chore without proper material handling carts to make the job easier!

We recently opened a small warehouse style specialty liquor store that deals in wine sold by the case. Our customers have complained that lifting these cases into standard wire shopping carts is too difficult and I am afraid someone will get hurt. I was looking at your website and discovered the material handling section. Fortunately, we have enough isle space to support these commercial grade rolling carts. What type of material handling solution do you recommend for my situation?

Easy Rack has all shapes, sizes and configurations of material handling carts. These rolling platforms are perfect for your customers to load and unload wine without risking injury. I would go with a medium to light duty rolling platform cart as apposed to a commercial warehouse cart. They come in composite plastic and lightweight aluminum.

The aluminum carts are sturdier and will probably will be your best option. We have carts with both single and double handles depending on your preference. The hard rubber wheels and sturdy platform will work well on a tile or concrete floor allowing good mobility for your staff and clients.

Why not give one of our sales associates a call at 713-553-1122 to order your cart today. We look forward to your call and the opportunity to earn your business.

Electric Pallet Stackers & Skid Lift Servers provide all in one versatility for a wide variety of product packaging and shipping department needs.

Are Electric Pallet Stackers & Skid Lift Servers classified as an ergonomic tool?
Yes, because it eliminates the need for human muscle to exert pressure on the standard hydraulic lifts of regular pallet jacks. It also provides for easier maneuverability to avoid twisting the back.

Which Pallet Stacker works best for a variety of containers and pallets?
Pallet stackers provides all in one versatility for a wide variety of product packaging. This is a key benefit to receiving departments that intake supplies from multiple manufacturers and who are receiving truckloads of different products, all of varying weights and dimensions. The Pallet Master can easily handle 4,000 pounds. Workers can operate the unit with a fingertip rocker switch control without having to exert or strain themselves. This pallet server works very well on a variety of floor surfaces also. Two 8” X 2” phenolic swivel casters guide the wheels and ensure mobility over occasional spots of debris or rough concrete in older warehouses. Easy Rack can install an optional remote or on-board battery charger by client request. A charge indicator also can be installed in DC units.

Which pallet server works best with skids and pallets?
The Counter-Balanced Pallet stacker is Easy Rack’s smaller version of the pallet mallet master. It is ideal for moving pallets and skids between multiple workstations. The horizontal load center is balanced at 18”, and its adjustable forks range from 8” to 28” in length. Easy Rack offers three unique power options for this series. Clients can choose from 12V DC power, 115V AC power, or Air/Oil power. The Counter-Balanced Pallet Master is very easy to move around on its 8” X 3” phenolic casters, and it is also very easy to control. A push button pendant attached to the unit on an 8 foot coil cord allows workers to maneuver the unit either at close distance or while standing back several feet. This feature is especially useful when moving pallets down stacked aisles where it may be too cramped for the employee to physically walk and maneuver the pallet truck at the same time.

Do you have any units that allow for heavy load stacking?

Yes. The Counter-Balanced Stacker functions just like its name suggests. In addition to moving small loads from one place to another without the need of an over sized fork truck, it also allows workers to access any load from three different sides of the pallet trucks. In the front, the end is open, and this enables the forks to be next to the workstation for easy transfer of the load to and from the workstation or storage unit. The unit includes a standard 12V DC power lift with an on-board charger, and it includes a counterbalance as well. Push buttons on the power unit allow workers to raise and lower the lift without interrupting task flow. Easy Rack can also provide an optional hand control on coil cord if requested. The Counter-Balanced Stacker also features superior security by means of a key operated ON/OFF control built into the power unit.

What load capacities can these units carry?
Load capacities range from 600 lbs to 4,000 lbs depending on model. Easy Rack can provide additional documentation or new updated material handling articles upon request via email, or can answer specific questions over the phone. Call 713-553-1122 today and speak with a specialist to see which of these models best meets the needs of your facility and work crew.

The uni-tilt is one of the most versatile material handling tools that manufacturing and distribution clients can invest in.

The uni-tilt is one of the most versatile material handling tools that manufacturing and distributorship clients can invest in.

Minimizing the time that workers spend unloading and processing each individual component can make the difference between project completion on time and costly overhead and double time. Warehouse employees find the uni-tilt invaluable because it combines compact size and user-friendly operable. This combination allows them to unload containers at maximum speed with minimum physical effort—leaving more time and energy to efficient and safe storage of product on shelving, mezzanine systems, and storage racks. Easy Rack offers several series of ergonomic material handling including uni-tilts from which procurement specialists and facilities managers may choose.

The single scissor lift and tilt table is one of our more popular uni-tilts.

An integrated maintenance lock on this series uni-tilt helps prevents accidental slippage. It also includes a pressure-plated pump and pressure-compensated flow valve that helps to ensure smooth, consistent operation. The engineering of the uni-tilt’s pump, valve, and oil return system give it multi-functionality on the facility floor. Workers can more easily control the unit with a selector pedal that they are able to operate with their feet—leaving their hands free for work. The lift can either elevate a container while tilting it, or tilt the container first and then lift it. The Single Scissor Lift and Tilt Table includes a 2 HP AC power unit that features a hand pendant control operating at standard 208-230/460V, 3 PH. This is a stationary unit and works best in locations where multiple workers are handling shipping/receiving orders or product intake, allocation, and storage. Platform sizes range from 24" x 48" to 96" x 48". Load capacity on the largest uni-tilts is 6,000 lbs.

For the same ergonomic efficiency that can be combined when needed with the mobility of a fork truck, Easy Rack also provides industrial clients with the Portable uni-tilt.

Like its stationary counter part, the Portable Uni-Tilt lift tables enables workers to unload containers with a minimum of exertion. It can be moved quickly throughout the facility with a fork truck and placed wherever needed. It features the same basic components and engineering design as the single scissor lift, and it can handle load capacities of up to 4,000 lbs. Fork pockets measure 8” X 3” , making them compatible with virtually any fork truck.

For small single site companies that have only a mini warehouse attached to the back of the building, the tight quarters make the uni-tilt not only a luxury, but in some cases a necessity.

There is little room to move in such locations, and a uni-tilt in the work area or near the storage racks can function can not only make work easier, but it may also be the only way of getting the work done at all.

If you are in the market for a quality ergonomic work table, Pallet Jacks, Warehouse Lighting or even a new or used industrial shelving, Easy Rack has just what you need. Give us a call at 713-553-1122 or ask our experts any questions regarding industrial or commercial material handing supplies.

Commercial Work Table Carousels are either square or circular in shape and rotate products up to 360 degrees.

What are commercial carousels and how do they work?
Carousels are either square or circular in shape and rotate products up to 360 degrees. They can be positioned on top of virtually any surface, such as scissor tables and workbenches, or even laid upon the floor. When products are loaded onto a carousel, all a worker has to do is apply slight pressure in the desired direction and let centrifugal force do the work

What types of work table carousels does Easy Rack carry?

Standard Carousel
Standard carousels are ideal for loads that are not odd-sized or exceptionally wide. They can maneuver up to 6,000 lbs of weight. Standard carousel construction consists of two pieces of rolled structural angle. Roller bearings within the carousel transfer the load smoothly and evenly distribute the weight across the supporting surface. There are four guide rollers within the carousel that keep the rings aligned and prevent the unit from locking up. Easy Rack provides numerous options to customize these devices such as elevated bases, stainless steel rings, manual brake, and a hand operated locking detent that Easy Rack will special install at the factory. Looking for a lift table instead?

Heavy-Duty King Pin Carousel
The Heavy-Duty King Pin comes in 4,000 lbs. and 6,000 lbs. Models. Each includes as well heavy-duty maintenance free bearing. It allows for off set loading up to 50% of the capacity on at least 50% of the deck. Standard top plates are square with rounded corners. Contact factory for special sizes. For large and odd sized loads, distributors and manufacturers might want to consider investing in a heavy-duty king pin carousel or ergononic work table. This unit features all the ergonomic benefits of the standard carousel with a top plate and stabilizing center pin. The key added value is it will handle a wider variety of loads. Many facilities that ship and receive a wide range of different types and sizes of products prefer these units because they offer something akin to a one-sized fits all tool for maneuverable, material handling.

Low-Profile Powered Carousel
The Low-Profile unit will handle loads up to 4,000 lbs and stands only 2-3/8" tall. It is easy to access from a fork lift truck, and it includes an optional approach ramp required for pallet truck use. The optional approach ramp measures 48" wide by 36" long. This device also features a foot control operation with a variable speed control, cushion start/stop, and rugged 3⁄4 HP motor with chain drive standard.

Stand Alone Powered Carousel
Easily rotate pallets, skids and other large objects with these rugged powered carousels. Each turntable is supported with inverted casters for use as bearings. Units are complete with turntable, base, 115V single-phase power unit and variable-speed control, and the turntable is operated with a foot control. Heavy-duty steel construction and painted finish ensure years of reliable service.

Tilt Masters resolve all of these problems with hydraulic and electrical lifting systems.

What are some tangible benefits offered by tilt masters?
Large pallets containing fragile materials can also easily be damaged when using generic pallet jacks that lack the hydraulic lift to properly elevate the supplies and move them from station to station or station to storage. Even more importantly, worker safety can be at risk in cramped quarters where laborers have to manually lift supplies, boxes, crates, and barrels. It is a scientific fact that severe back injuries can result from lifting only 25 lbs. Incorrectly, and the loss of skilled labor and the cost of workman’s compensation is far too much risk to take even for a larger organization. Tilt Masters resolve all of these problems with hydraulic and electrical lifting systems that can safely elevate loads of up to 3 tons to the necessary height and tilt at up to 90° to accommodate dual function as a transportation tool and temporary replacement for a worktable.

What are the differences between the manual tilt master and the master straddle?
The manual tilt master works like an ergonomic pallet jack. It is ideal for lifting and tilting crates, boxes, and pallets with an open bottom. It forces the worker to stand in a correct position when loading or unloading product. A person does not have to bend down or reach over to use the equipment, so the risk of shoulder strain or back injury is significantly minimized. The Tilt Master’s forks can be tilted at up to 90°, and it rolls smoothly over a variety of warehouse surfaces on 6" x 2" polyurethane swivel casters with brake and foot protectors. .

The Tilt Master Straddle offers a higher level of maneuverability and multi-function options.
It can actually double as a pallet truck and a portable tilt table. The DC powered lifting mechanism completely eliminates the need for manual exertion. A folding ergonomic handle offers dual steering grips to precisely maneuver the unit down cramped aisles or areas where materials are stacked and people are working. The unit’s thin profile further improves on worker safety by allowing laborers to get as close to the load as possible for greater control. When the unit is stationary, it can be trusted not to move or shift position due to solid floor locks that grip and hold the tilt master in place. The Tilt Master Straddle can be used for any kind of container or pallet, including odd-sized loads and barrels. The 12V DC electric motor contains an on-board battery charger, so when the unit is idle it can be plugged in to renew engine power.

Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products.

What are the benefits quick lifts offer?
Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products. Battery-powered quick lifts operate quietly and help reduce noise pollution that can be both a nuisance and a safety hazard in and of itself.

What types of Quick Lifts do you offer?
Steel, Versatile, and Aluminum. Steel is best for the heaviest loads, whereas versatile and aluminum models are used for lighter materials and situations where space is limited and maneuverability often difficult to achieve.

Steel Quick lifts
Steel Quick lifts are actually very lightweight, quiet, and easy to maneuver. These units load quickly with a push of a button with any number of control options enumerated above. Battery powered operations keep the units at a minimum noise level, and a number of AC battery charging supplies are available through Easy Rack to keep optimal operating levels constant and ready. These units work very good in clean room environments.

Versatile Quick lifts
An economical, DC powered alternative to steel Quick lifts, this lifter has a high service range and four swivel casters to provide great versatility and convenience. It serves as an ideal tool for light industrial or commercial applications. It only takes 18 seconds for the 57" platform to travel from the floor to the storage surface, making the versatile quick lift perfect for small companies with a warehouse being the office facilities, or for light loading in supply rooms for any type of industry. This lifter also works just as effectively outside. Top wheels facilitate loading into a pick-up or van. The Easy Rack tool tray and remote battery charger (included with purchase) are standard to each unit.

Aluminum Quick lifts
This is one of the safest lifters we carry. The strength capacity and lightweight of aluminum make this quick lift a solid, dependable, larger-sized alternative to steel lifters. Lift components are housed in a concealed column, eliminating pinch points and thus protecting workers who may inadvertently get too close to the column. An electromagnetic break and drive screw design do away with the drifting/coasting of load, making elevation a smooth, continuous movement ideal for storing sensitive and fragile supplies and components. Its fully programmable, state of the art motor controller allows for multiple lift speed adjustments to accommodate the personal physique and personal preferences of each individual worker.

Controls
We provide three different control options in quick lifts to make them as customized as possible to worker efficiency. The first is standard push button control for simple lifting/loading to a single, pre-determined elevation. The optional Programmable Height Indexing option allows workers to preset multiple working heights at a touch of a button. For certain DC powered models we also supply a detachable hand control that works wonders with extremely cumbersome or heavy products.

Plastic door strips promote greater efficiency at industrial and commercial warehouse facilites.

Plastic strip doors are a common sight at industrial facilities and commercial warehouses which use them to save energy, minimize dust and maintain room temperatures at their facility. Plastic door strips promote greater efficiency in use because individuals no longer need to waste time opening and closing doors every time they walk in and out of a room. The same holds true in facilities with loading docks, fork lifts, pallet trucks or other ergonomic material handling equipment.

Vinyl door strips can be installed quickly and sized to fit. Simply cut the vinyl strips to the appropriate length and then fix them to the door frame or wall using the supplied brackets. The vinyl door strips are clear, see through and this will prevent swinging door accidents once they are installed.

Easy Rack Vinyl door strips can be easily cleaned using soap and water to ensure that they stay in good condition, and if they are damaged in use, individual strips, rather than the whole door hanging unit can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Actually fitting plastic strip doors takes very little time, and there are a number of options open to you. For maximum protection and to ensure that noise and dust are kept to a minimum, the strips can be staggered completely to effectively create a double layer of protection. A lower cost solution is to simply have a smaller overlap between neighboring strips so that fewer are required to cover an entire door.

The materials used in the production of these vinyl door strip are fire resistant, and will self extinguish in the event of a fire, making them a very effective barrier between areas that will give staff additional time to escape in an emergency.

One of the most popular uses for plastic strip doors is in closing off dock areas from the main stock house or factory area without restricting efficiency in loading and unloading of trucks. Forklifts attachments can simply push through the flaps onto the loading area, saving time and increasing productivity.

If you are looking for a quality vinyl door strip to solve your warehouse door problems with industrial carts, chances are Easy Rack has a size or model to fit your needs. Give us a call at 713-553-1122 or contact us online for help and assistance. We look forward to your call and the opportunity to help you!

Commercial Pallet Stackers & Pallet Trucks are affordable alternatives to expensive fork lifts.

Pallet stacker's are most commonly used for transporting a single pallet from the floor to a workspace. Pallet stackers have all the capacity that you need in order to move weights up to 4000 pounds depending on the exact model to select. Pallet stacking devices are flexible in use to carry a range of different commercial pallets and crates.

Commercial Pallet Stacker's are affordable alternatives to a fork lift truck in moving either pelleted loads or wooden crates around a warehouse or factory. It has a number of advantages over a larger and more expensive forklift, although there are also a number of deign limitations that restrict the range of its applications, and mean that it cannot be used as an exact alternative.

One of the unique factors that make these pallet stacker's such a useful addition to any warehouse is the fact that the forks are so adjustable. Featuring a standard size 4” wide fork that is 26” in length, they are designed to support a standard pallet base, but thanks to the fact that the separation of the forks can be set at anything between 8" and 37 ", it is possible to safely lift a massive range of different sized objects including crates and even drums.

Pallet stacker's have relatively small footprint making them easy to maneuver through rows and rows of warehouse shelving. Stacker's can be easily navigated through a tight space, and feature a set of heavy duty swivel casters and powered wheels. Power comes from on board batteries that can be charged through a standard AC supply, and will give enough charge to perform all the tasks that you ask of them. The key aspect of the electric pallet feature of these models is their low center of gravity and counter balanced weight system.

If you are considering adding a pallet truck or pallet stacker to your fleet of tools and equipment, we trust that you will contact the professionals at Easy Rack. We can be reached at 713-553-1122 or online at http://www.easyrack.org/.

Stop, who goes there? Acrylic convex driveway safety mirrors provide safety and convenience to anyone approaching blind spots or corners. The ingenious convex design of the acrylic safety mirror provides a terrific fish eye view of any potential hazards and gives employees and customers peace of mind as they navigate through your facility. Provided the convex mirrors are placed in clear view the convex shape of the mirror will reflect whatever is coming around the corner, and give anyone a visual warning to allow them to drive around safety barricades and barriers.

There are a number of different sizes of acrylic convex driveway safety mirrors available from Easy Rack, and they are designed to provide different uses depending on where they are placed. Smaller 12" diameter convex acrylic mirrors are generally best for use in an office type workplace, and for the best possible results, should be mounted at ceiling level on a bend in the corner of a corridor where people walking will be able to see what is happening elsewhere to avoid walking into someone.

Easy Rack has larger convex acrylic safety mirrors available in sizes up to 30" in diameter! Medium sized acrylic convex driveway safety mirrors are suitable for use in a workshops, offices, loading docks or between store isles.

By using floor tape applicators to mark out areas within the building, you get a solution that is hard wearing, long term, and flexible.

One of the most important parts of keeping a factory or warehouse running efficiently is making sure that everyone knows exactly where they need to be going, and the right area for everything to be stored in. To protect against accidents involving vehicles such as fork lift trucks and pedestrians, key routes need to be clearly marked, while areas that are potentially dangerous must be identified using floor tape applicators.

While painting a floor is a permanent solution, it can cause problems, paint breaks down over time, and if you make changes to the way a stock house is organized, the old paint can make routes confusing for staff and cause problems in terms of efficiency. By using floor tape applicators to mark out areas within the building, you get a solution that is hard wearing, long term, and flexible.

Basically, a floor tape applicator is a special device that holds a roll of industrial marking tape and dispenses it onto a heavy duty wheel which applies it smoothly onto the floor. Employees mark out the plan on the floor, and then walk along the various lines dispensing the tape from the machine as they go. The marking tape is released at the right tension, and thanks to the pressure applied by the rollers, gives a smooth and long lasting finish that is unlikely to be damaged in the short term.

If you are wanting to mark the floors in your shop, warehouse or commercial facility, give Easy Rack a call at 713-553-1122 or contact us online. Our friendly and knowledgeable sales associates are standing by to assist you with all your tape dispensing, loading dock supplies or commercial lighting needs.

One of the best cleaning applications for larger facilities is the fork lift truck mounted brush sweeper. This industrial strength fork lift attachment device fits onto a standard set of forks, and can then be used to clear large areas very quickly. The fork lift sweeper has a number of advantages including the fact that it makes full use of existing resources, and also allows for relatively large debris such as equipment to be moved around in a single pass

For smaller areas, the self powered commercial floor sweeper can be pushed by a single operator and features a pair of rotating brushes that pick up small bits and pieces of material along with dust, and force it into a large hopper for disposal later. The lightweight sweeping device can clear areas very quickly, and depending on the model chosen, can clean a strip up to 32 inches wide at a time, as well as being portable enough to be carried up and down stairs easily.
