Creform Corporation has designed and produced a simple, yet effective, shelf cart for an auto parts manufacturer to enhance workflow within the assembly line area.

• The cart is moved from the kitting area to the point of assembly.

Other alternative uses besides kitting are assembly line support and order picking. The cart’s versatility is suitable for manufacturing or warehouse environments and is excellent for small component storage.

The shelf cart provides ample storage with four overall levels. Each level features ½ in. HDPE plastic supported by Creform pipes.

All four levels feature containment sides with edge protection to help prevent parts from falling off during movement.

The cart’s dimensions are 22″ L x 22″ W x 48″ T and is designed to hold up to 350 lb. Constructed with Creform 28mm black plastic-coated steel pipe and clamped together with 28mm metal joints. Creform shelf carts allow users to create tailored solutions that fit their specific needs, whether it’s size, number of shelves, or additional features.

The cart features four swivel total-lock casters that provide for easy rolling, positioning and maneuverability. The swivel casters at the corners ensure stability and allow the cart to be pushed down aisles but also easily moved laterally.

As with all Creform carts, higher capacity and custom cart sizes and configurations are possible with the Creform system of 28 mm and 42 mm plastic coated steel pipes and metal joints. They can be configured for ESD (anti-static) applications.

The modular nature of Creform carts provides added value and ensures that if there is any damage or worn components replacement parts are readily available.

Creform designed and built a four-level shelf, lightweight, yet robust cart.

Although the cart pictured is shown black, a wide variety of pipe color options are available and upgrade hitches are available for AGV delivery. Accessories include hooks, labels as well as writing surfaces with clip boards to name a few.

Creform carts are available as a kit, assembled structure or in component form for a complete DIY solution. Long life, because of the adaptability of the cart, remains a fundamental principle of Creform.

The Creform system is used to create an array of material handling and efficiency enhancing devices and is a proven component in continuous improvement and Lean Manufacturing programs.

• The Creform system supports 5S and lean practices. The company partners with customers in developing and enhancing these programs.
