CART HEIGHT=BENCH HEIGHT=HAPPY BACKS

CART HEIGHT=BENCH HEIGHT=HAPPY BACKS
In our shop we seem to constantly be moving cylinder heads around. First from arrival at the door to a tear down bench, then to the jet wash, to a storage shelf, to benches to be worked on and then to benches to be assembled. We have (3) 34” tall 4-wheel carts which match our 34” high work benches. With them matching our benches we can easily unload heavy heads by simply sliding from one surface to the next. Heads are placed on a non critical side, not the head gasket side. When finished, bagged, and taped to cardboard they slide on easily on the head gasket side. We do have overhead hoists, but sometimes its more practical to cart the heads to benches, tables, etc. Our newest addition is a cart with a hydraulic ram to raise and lower the table. This is our new go to cart. It has a 20” by 40” platform and the ability to go down to our lowest mini van delivery truck bed, and up as high as a flat bed truck. It has helped us get loaded and unloaded fast when a forklift wasn’t available.
