Vinyl Basket Carts

Vinyl Baskets carts have many advantages over canvas basket carts.  Vinyl Carts are very strong and tear resistant. Lightweight, replaceable colored Vinyl Basket liners and casters,  simple to clean inside & out.  Vinyl Baskets do not stain due to moisture or spills.  Can be shipped UPS/FedEx to save high freight costs and easy assembly takes minutes.  

Vinyl basket carts are used extensively for dirty laundry collection and clean laundry waiting to be folded and many other uses other than laundry.

Considering vinyl laundry baskets with 2 different wheel patterns on the bottom. Commonly referred as "C" for corner pattern or "D" for diamond pattern. Let's look into these features and explain the uses of these different types of vinyl basket carts.

"C" pattern the letter "C" following the model # refers to 4 swivel casters located in each corner on the bottom of the basket cart. This cart is best suited as multi-purpose and works well in many areas, specifically small tight areas with need to spin the cart. If pushing this cart in straight lines or distances it may drift from side to side and is more difficult to steer. This cart is best suited in small tight environments that require full control from all swivel casters.

"D" pattern the letter "D" following the model # refers to 2 stationary larger casters at the mid point of the the basket width and 2 smaller swivel casters in the center of each end. This pattern is in the form of a diamond. The best use for this cart is moving in a straight line like walking down a hallway pushing the cart. The cart will rock forward and back making it easier to push and travel in a straight line with it's 2 stationary casters carrying the load and not drifting you from side to side. Best used for moving distances where very tight corners are not an issue.


Cart Spring Platform Lifts are spring mounted platform bottoms fitting inside a laundry cart or tub.  As the cart is loaded with weight the platform travels to the bottom of the cart.  As you unload the cart the platform rises bringing the load to the top of the cart.  This eliminates stooping and much is easier on your back.

WIRE CARTS:

Wire carts are very useful for many purposes.  In laundry rooms, wire carts can be used in all phases of operation.  Wire carts should be used for wet laundry moving from washer to dryer as this cart allows air to reach wet laundry waiting for dryers. Best to use chrome or co-polymer coatings on wire baskets to prevent rust and making it easier to clean. Do not to use same cart for dirty and clean laundry without cleaning each time to prevent cross contamination.  Wire carts are very handy for dry, clean laundry and folding as well.  A mounted hanger bar to the wire cart allows hanging clean shirts, pants etc.
