CUSTOM FABRICATED

TRANSFER CARTS &

TOTES


WHY CUSTOM METAL

FABRICATION?

When you need a transfer cart or tote that complies with

shifting industry and plant requirements, you can’t source a

prefabricated product. What you need is custom fabricated

metal carts or totes.

TRANSFER CART & TOTE

FABRICATION PROCESS

Creating custom-fabricated transfer carts and totes follows

a straightforward, six-step process.


Evaluate a customer’s design or assist in creating a viable

design that meets a customer’s application requirements.

STEP ONE


STEP TWO

If design work is required, provide design drawings for

customer review prior to fabrication.

Alternatively, produce shop drawings from customer’s

design drawings and present shop drawings for approval.


STEP THREE

Once drawings are approved, confirm the production

schedule.


STEP FOUR

Release shop drawings to determine the following

production requirements:

• Fit-up

• Weld-out

• Finishing


STEP FIVE

Administer in-process quality control (QC) inspections to

ensure that design requirements, industry standards, and

quality expectations are met and maintained.


Conduct final QC

inspections and prepare for

shipment.

AUTOMOTIVE TRANSFER

CARTS

Each industry has its own requirements for transfer carts

and totes. The automotive industry, though, makes ample

use of these items and has constantly shifting requirements

that make custom transfer carts and totes a necessity.


AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY CARTS

automotive industry, as do the requirements for automotive

transfer carts. When designing an automotive transfer cart,

some of the things to consider include:

• Cart design’s accommodation of part design

• Paint/finishing requirements

• Durability of casters and/or tongues for towing
