Brick, Mortar & Block Carts

Brick and block carts are designed to help masons in residential construction move brick and block into areas where there is no forklift access. This is very common in the home building industry, where there simply is no way to move a forklift into what will eventually be a home interior. Also, many home builders feel that forklifts are beyond their budget and choose to look for less expensive ways to move equipment around the site. Brick and block carts are remarkably efficient tools for this task, and they are affordable for even the smallest of family owned construction companies to invest in.

The brick and block cart is much safer and far more ergonomic than brick barrows. It is also helps move materials much more quickly. The reason for this is simple. Bricks and blocks tend to come stacked and banded. In order to transport them in a barrow, you have to cut the bands, stack them in the barrow, then unload and restack them after they are moved. This wastes considerable time on the job, which in turn results in a waste of money.

Brick and block carts allow you to move hand truck entire stacks of banded brick and block without having to undo the bands. Simply run the forks into the bricks and tilt the unit back. This will allow you to pick up as many as two bands of brick at a time and comfortably transport them to the work area. It is not necessary to hand stack or unstuck the bricks, so an enormous amount of time can be saved. Furthermore, it is much easier on your back because you do not have to stoop down to load and unload bricks like you do when using a barrow.

Most masons simply wheel the brick and block cart to the work area and stand it up in a vertical position with the bricks still held in place by the forks. They then cut the bands at the top and use from the stack however many bricks they needs. For scaffold work, brick and block carts can be placed right under the scaffold, and bricks can hand stacked on the scaffold as needed.

Easy Rack sells brick and block carts in two different model: the Rough Terrain Brick Cart and the Deluxe Rough Terrain Block/Brick cart. The Double Back Plate model features an additional pair of 15” forks specifically designed to handle any block package.

We see the greatest use of these carts in single story construction projects where forklifts are simply too expensive to purchase or lease, and where the work area itself is considerably smaller than that around larger homes. Having a convenient, ergonomic tool like the Easy Rack brick and block cart allows for quick mobility, safe labor, and rapid turnaround on the project. In fact, many companies who invest in brick and block carts, as well as other space saving and ergonomic tools by Easy Rack, are often able to lower their contract costs and win more bids by passing their material handling savings on to the general contractor.

Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment, Crate Movers, Hand Trucks, Furniture Moving Equipment & Supplies.

Ergonomic equipment is vital to your material handling operations if you are serious about maintaining truly safe and optimal work environment. Ergonomic material handling equipment prevents injury and possible liabilities, and it also creates a more positive work environment and contributes to better morale.

Easy Rack has recently added an entirely new line of ergonomic material handling equipment units to our online inventory. We supply a wide range of tools available in both used and new condition, and we drop ship direct to client location anywhere in the United States.

Furniture & Crate Movers
Furniture and crate movers are engineered to help workers transport furniture, crates, and machinery easily. Simply slide the nose plate under the item to be moved, strap both dollies together, and lift. These tools can be purchased with either a manual mechanical hand crank lift option or a manual hand pump hydraulic lift option.

Steel Stair Hand Truck Dollies
These ergonomic equipment transports are built with a unique design that features tandem triple-wheel assemblies that make it easy to move up and down the stairs. The wheel assembly smoothly rotates while moving up each step, eliminating the thud and bump associated with conventional two wheel hand trucks on stairs. The rear wheel assembly also allows hand truck to roll up to 300 lbs. easily on 4 wheels while on flat surfaces.

Easy Rack drop ships both new and used hand truck dollies with single loop handles and four handles.

Ergonomic Material Handling Hand Trucks, Dollies & Carts
These ergonomic equipment dollies & material handling carts are great for moving large, bulky, heavy appliances and awkward loads. A strap and tension bar holds materials and products in place while transporting them up or down stairways, hills or uneven surfaces.

Easy Rack supplies both steel ratchet models and turn handle models with aluminum lightweight carts specifically designed for moving items quickly and safely up and down stairs.

Used and new models are available through your Easy Rack specialist.

High Back Aluminum Hand Truck with Push Out
This ergonomic equipment transport is designed to transport tall heavy loads weighing up to 300 lbs. from workstation to workstation. As the load reaches its final destination, the user simply pushes down on the back plate with their foot and the plate on the front of the unit will slide the load off. This feature greatly reduces stress on the user’s back and is one of the safest and most ergonomic push out hand trucks for the material handling and transport of oversized and/or heavy loads.

Aluminum Ergonomic Equipment Dollies and Hand Trucks
This unit’s lightweight aluminum build combines heavy-duty design with easy maneuverability. It includes knuckle guard handles, a fold up nose plate, and a curved back plate for transporting cylindrical objects. This ergonomic aluminum material handling hand truck is especially useful for moving cylinders up and down stairways, up loading ramps, or over hills outside the plant.

Four Wheel Multi-Position Steel Hand Truck
This ergonomic hand truck is ideal for material handling and equipment transport over uneven surfaces and outdoor areas. Its small 4" x 1¼" mold-on-rubber swivel casters are located at the back of the cart to stabilize loads and prevent tipping. The back casters will also transform the unit into a horizontal platform truck. The multi-purpose four wheel hand truck can also be positioned horizontally, allowing the handle to release to a standard position and transforming the cart into a platform truck.

Are you in the process of moving offices or perhaps relocating to a new office? Using a desk mover from Easy Rack can save your back and make the process of transporting desks and other furniture a breeze.

Change is constant in a dynamic business environment, and being in a position to make those logistical changes within your organization without impacting on the flow of work is important.

One of the main areas where most large companies find that they need to improve their reaction to change is in the area of internal reorganization. Moving large desks is one activity that causes headaches in any size office reorganization. The process of loading and unloading drawers, and moving the various bits and pieces of equipment used by hundreds of people can be a huge problem and take weeks of careful planning, not to mention a huge number of boxes. This kind of mass desk move will also have a major impact on productivity over a period of days. This is unnecessary, and by using a special desk mover, you will be able to improve the flow of the whole process and reduce the time that carting desks take by a huge amount, as well as reducing the impact on the workplace in general.

A desk mover is a special form of a dolly that is designed exclusively for safely lifting and moving desks. Easy Rack desk trucks feature a larger base than standard hand trucks, and support the desk in a level position so that items do not fall off or slide around as the desk is moved. The desk movers available from Easy Rack are roughly 32 inches wide and 16 inches deep, and can carry a desk weighing of up to 600 pounds.

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.
