Best Features To Look For In Mobile Paper Carts
Thursday, November 4th, 2010
Paper carts are an important part of daily operations in many different businesses. This may be a printing press, a school or even a copy room. Making paper easy to move, transport and carry can be very important. With several different options out there, how do you know which type of paper cart to get? Here are a few tips that may put you on the right track!
Best Features To Look For In Paper Carts
- Amount Of Trays – Make sure the paper cart you get has enough trays to handle different stacks of paper (if needed) Some paper carts come with multiple trays, where others have a large shelf where you can place multiple stacks of paper. This is a matter of personal preference.
- Size Of Trays – Get the measurements of the tray and make sure it will hold your paper. Most paper cart trays are designed to hold at least an 8 ½” x 11″ sheet of paper where others are
designed to hold large sheets of paper. - Cart Weight Capacity – Make sure your cart can hold the amount of weight required. If you will only be carrying paper, this usually isn’t an issue. Many people, however, also use a paper cart to carry a binding machine, paper folding machine or other piece of office equipment.
- Casters – While all paper carts have casters (wheels), the caster size can vary. I have found that the larger the wheel, the easier it is to move.
- Material Makeup – Paper carts are available in metal and plastic designs. The style you choose depends on preference. The metal carts will be a little heavier, but will hold up well over time.
These are just a few tips that you will want to take into consideration when shopping around for a paper cart. You can find our entire selection of paper carts here.
