Selecting the Right Cart:
♦ Depth, 18" (R5BEC) vs. 24" (R5BEE): The 18" depth is the shallowest mobile cart format in the R-Series lineup and suits positions where aisle width or clearance is very tight, or where the cart must fit alongside equipment that limits front-to-back access. The 24" depth is more practical for most applications, providing a drawer interior large enough for the full range of tools and parts typically stored on a production or maintenance cart. Most configurations are available in both depths, though some enclosed-only and roll-out shelf formats differ between the two.
♦ Cart height and drawer count: The 35-1/2" height (2801/2802/2803/2804 series) provides 4 drawers or a drawer/door combination in the most compact cart profile. The 37-1/2" height covers the widest range of configurations, from 3 to 6 drawers plus roll-out shelf and enclosed-only formats. The 45-1/2" height (3801/3802/3803/3804/3805/3806 series) reaches 7 drawers or a 4-drawer with a door section for maximum storage per footprint.
♦ Drawer configurations: Uniform-height configurations suit inventories where items are similar in size. Mixed-height configurations suit working sets where drawer heights need to vary to match item sizes, from a 3"/4"/5"/6"/8" five-drawer spread to a 3x3"/3x5"/1x10" seven-drawer layout at tall-cart height.
♦ Roll-out shelf models (R5BEC-3015, R5BEE-3015/3016): One 3" drawer, three 6" drawers, and a roll-out shelf. The pull-out shelf creates a work surface at the cart for layout, inspection, or staging tasks alongside the stored inventory.
♦ Enclosed shelf/door carts (R5BEC-3012/3014, R5BEE-3012/3014): No drawers, a roll-out shelf or fixed/adjustable shelf combination, and a door. Mobile enclosed storage companions to the drawer carts, suited to items that don't fit in standard drawers.
♦ Drawer/door combination carts (R5BEC-3806, R5BEE-3805/3806): Four drawers (two 3", two 4") above an enclosed door section in the 45-1/2" tall cart. Suits operations where the working set includes both small organized items (drawers) and bulkier items needing enclosed access (door section) in a single mobile unit.
♦ Partitions: Models marked "Yes" include drawer divider partitions. Models marked "No" have open interiors.

Each drawer supports up to 400 lbs. and features full-extension slides for complete access to stored contents. Heavy-duty 6" non-marking polyurethane casters, rated at 900 lbs. each, provide smooth mobility across industrial floors. The 36" wide design accommodates larger tools and equipment while offering versatile storage configurations, including models with roll-out shelves and enclosed cabinet sections for items that require more than traditional drawer storage.

All carts are 36" wide, with two depth options: 18" deep (R5BEC Series) for work areas with limited clearance and 24" deep (R5BEE Series) for greater storage capacity. Cart heights range from 35-1/2" to 45-1/2", with drawer-equipped configurations offering 3 to 7 drawers. Manufactured in North America, Rousseau R-Series modular drawer carts are engineered for dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Where Commonly Used:
♦ Machining and Setup Operations: A wider drawer interior than the 24" or 30" cart format means longer toolholders, larger fixture assemblies, and full setup kits can be stored flat in organized positions rather than angled or split across multiple carts.
♦ Maintenance and Repair Operations: Bringing a complete set of tools, spare parts, and measurement equipment to the asset being serviced, with the 36" drawer width accommodating the larger hand tools and specialty equipment common in heavy equipment maintenance.
♦ Assembly Support and Kitting: Staging a full build kit in a cart at an assembly cell, with wider drawers that accommodate the range of components and fasteners for the order, reducing restocking trips and keeping the kit together from start to finish.
♦ Quality and Inspection: Transporting wide fixture sets, surface plates, and calibration equipment between machines and inspection stations in a mobile cart where the 36" drawer width accommodates items that wouldn't fit in narrower mobile formats.
♦ Die Shop and Toolroom Support: Moving larger dies, punches, and tooling sets to and from presses and machining centers in a heavy-duty cart that handles the weight and size of typical die shop tooling without caster failure or drawer racking.
♦ Tool Crib Dispensing: Issuing wide or bulky tooling to job locations in a secure, organized cart where the 36" drawer interior keeps large tools flat and accounted for during transport and return.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Rousseau 36" R-Series modular drawer cart?

The 36" R-Series cart provides a wider drawer interior than the 24" and 30" formats, accommodating longer tools, larger fixture sets, and broader parts assortments in each drawer position. The 400 pound per drawer capacity, 6" polyurethane casters rated at 900 pounds each, and full-extension slides carry through from the narrower carts. All carts are manufactured in North America. CustomMHS is an authorized Rousseau distributor, and all purchases include the manufacturer's factory warranty.

What is the difference between the 18" and 24" depths?

The 18" depth, prefix R5BEC, is the shallowest mobile cart format in the R-Series lineup, suited to positions where aisle width or clearance is very tight or where the cart has to fit alongside equipment that limits front-to-back access. The 24" depth, prefix R5BEE, gives significantly more drawer interior space and is the more practical choice for general-purpose mobile tool and parts storage.

What heights and drawer counts are available?

Three height ranges. The 35-1/2" height gives 4 drawers or a drawer and door combination in the most compact profile. The 37-1/2" height covers the widest range of configurations, from 3 to 6 drawers plus roll-out shelf and enclosed-only formats. The 45-1/2" height reaches 7 drawers, or 4 drawers with a door section, for maximum storage per footprint

What do the roll-out shelf models offer?

The R5BEC-3015 and R5BEE-3015 and 3016 pair one 3" drawer and three 6" drawers with a roll-out shelf. The pull-out shelf creates a work surface at the cart for layout, inspection, or staging tasks alongside the stored inventory, which removes the need for a separate bench at the point of use.

When would I choose an enclosed cart with no drawers?

The R5BEC-3012 and 3014 and the R5BEE-3012 and 3014 have no drawers, offering a roll-out shelf or a fixed and adjustable shelf combination behind a door. These are mobile enclosed storage companions to the drawer carts, meant for items that do not fit standard drawers. Buying one alongside a drawer cart is usually the right approach rather than treating it as a standalone unit.

How does the 36" cart help your facility?

Drawer width is what this format buys. Longer toolholders, larger fixture assemblies, and full setup kits store flat in organized positions rather than being angled to fit or split across two carts, and splitting a kit is what creates the extra trips this equipment exists to eliminate. In quality work, the wider drawers accommodate fixture sets, surface plates, and calibration equipment that would not fit narrower mobile formats. In die shop and toolroom support, the cart handles the weight and size of typical die shop tooling without caster failure or drawer racking under load.
