Rousseau 60" R-Series Modular Drawer Carts | Maximum-Width Mobile Tool Storage

The Rousseau 60" R-Series modular drawer cart is the widest mobile format in the R-Series lineup, designed for operations where the 48" cart is still too narrow for the tools, fixtures, or kits that need to move together. At 60" wide with 400 lb per drawer capacity and 6" polyurethane casters rated at 900 lb each, these carts handle oversized tooling, large fixture assemblies, and wide component sets that would require splitting across multiple narrower carts.

The 60" lineup is compact compared to the 30", 36", and 48" cart series in terms of model count -- all 20 models are a single cart height (37-1/2"), two depths, and a focused set of drawer configurations. This reflects the specialized nature of the 60" format: operations that need this width typically know what they need, and the configurations cover the most practical drawer layouts for wide-format mobile storage. Two depths are available: 24" (R5BKE) and 27" (R5BKG). All carts are manufactured in North America.

Selecting the Right Cart:

♦ Depth, 24" (R5BKE) vs. 27" (R5BKG): The 24" depth keeps the cart footprint slightly shorter for positions where aisle width or side clearance is a constraint. The 27" depth adds drawer interior for longer tools and items that benefit from more front-to-back space. Both depths offer identical drawer configurations throughout the lineup.
♦ Five-drawer configurations: Three options. One each from 3" to 8" (3/4/5/6/8") gives five distinct positions spanning the full height range, suited to working sets where item sizes vary widely and each needs a correctly sized drawer. Two 4" over three 6" provides a simpler two-height layout for inventories that are mostly mid-size. Three 4" over one 6" over one 8" balances mid-depth positions with one larger drawer for heavier or bulkier items in the set.
♦ Six-drawer configuration: Two 3" over three 4" over one 8" provides six positions with a concentration of shallow drawers for inserts, small tools, and organized parts, plus one deep base drawer.
♦ Drawer/door combination models (R5BKE-3013/3014, R5BKG-3013/3014): One 6" drawer above an enclosed door section in the 60" wide format. Suited to operations where the working set is primarily oversized items that need enclosed access in a wide cart, with one organized drawer position for smaller tools or documents at the same footprint.
♦ Partitions: Models marked "Yes" include drawer divider partitions. Models marked "No" have open interiors.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Large-Format Tooling and Fixture Transport: Moving oversized tooling, wide fixture plates, and large assembly jigs between storage and production positions in a cart where the 60" drawer interior keeps items flat and organized without requiring separate handling equipment.
♦ Aerospace and Defense Work Centers: Program kits that include wide fixtures, large-format precision instruments, and specialized tooling that exceeds the 48" drawer width, consolidated in a single mobile cart that moves with the work between assembly and inspection.
♦ Heavy Manufacturing Setup: Rolling an extra-wide setup cart to each press, weld station, or machining center with all required tooling and fixtures stored flat and accessible, eliminating the awkward transport of oversized items that don't fit in narrower carts.
♦ Die Shop and Press Support: Moving wide dies, large punches, and associated tooling between die storage and press lines in a cart that accommodates die widths and fixture dimensions that exceed the 48" mobile format.
♦ R&D and Prototype Operations: Supporting prototype and development work where tool sets and fixture assemblies are unique, large, and frequently moved between stations, and a 60" mobile cart keeps the complete working set together and tracked.
♦ Large Vehicle and Fleet Maintenance: Transporting oversized specialty tools, alignment equipment, and large-format components to service positions in facilities where the working equipment is too wide for standard tool cart formats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Rousseau 60" R-Series modular drawer cart?

The 60" R-Series cart is the widest mobile format in the R-Series lineup, built for operations where the 48" cart is still too narrow for the tools, fixtures, or kits that need to move together. It carries 400 pounds per drawer on 6" polyurethane casters rated at 900 pounds each. CustomMHS is an authorized Rousseau distributor, and all purchases include the manufacturer's factory warranty.

Why does this series have fewer models than the narrower carts?

All 20 models share a single cart height of 37-1/2", two depths, and a focused set of drawer configurations. That reflects how the format gets used: operations needing 60" of drawer width typically know what they need, so the lineup covers the most practical layouts rather than offering the configuration variety found in the 30", 36", and 48" series.

What is the difference between the 24" and 27" depths?

The 24" depth, prefix R5BKE, keeps the footprint slightly shorter for positions where aisle width or side clearance is a constraint. The 27" depth, prefix R5BKG, adds drawer interior for longer tools and items that benefit from more front-to-back space. Both depths offer identical drawer configurations throughout the lineup, so depth is an independent choice from layout.

What drawer configurations are available?

Three five-drawer options and one six-drawer option. The five-drawer layouts are one each from 3" to 8", two 4" over three 6", and three 4" over one 6" over one 8". The six-drawer layout is two 3" over three 4" over one 8", which concentrates shallow positions for inserts and small tools while keeping one deep base drawer.

What do the drawer and door combination models offer?

The R5BKE-3013/3014 and R5BKG-3013/3014 place one 6" drawer above an enclosed door section in the full 60" width. That suits operations where the working set is primarily oversized items needing enclosed access, with one organized drawer position for smaller tools or documents in the same footprint.

How does the 60" cart help your facility?

Width is the entire reason for this format, and it matters when items exceed what a 48" drawer holds flat. Wide fixture plates, large assembly jigs, and oversized tooling stay organized in one cart rather than requiring separate handling equipment or being split across two units. In die shop and press support, the cart accommodates die widths that exceed the 48" mobile format. In large vehicle and fleet maintenance, oversized specialty tools and alignment equipment reach the service position in a single cart rather than in multiple trips.
