Rousseau 72" R-Series Multi-Drawer Carts | Extra-Wide Mobile Tool Storage, 400 lb Drawers

The Rousseau 72" R-Series multi-drawer cart is the widest mobile storage unit in the R-Series lineup, designed for operations where even the 60" and 62" formats fall short of what the working set requires. At 72" wide with 14 drawers, 400 lb per drawer capacity, and full-extension slides, this cart accommodates large-format tooling, fixture assemblies, and heavy part sets that need more organized positions and more lateral drawer space than any other R-Series mobile format provides.

Two models are offered, both at 72" x 24" x 41-1/2": R5XLE-3401 with drawer partitions and R5XLE-3402 without. The 14-drawer configuration spans a wide range of drawer heights from 3" to 10", distributing storage positions across shallow, mid, and deep drawers in a single cart that moves on 6" polyurethane casters. All carts are manufactured in North America.

♦ R5XLE-3402 (No partitions): 72" x 24" x 41-1/2". 14 drawers: one 3", three 4", two 5", four 6", two 8", one 9", one 10".

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Large-Format Die and Tooling Storage: Moving wide dies, large punches, and full sets of associated tooling between storage and production positions in a cart with enough width and drawer depth to store items flat and organized without splitting the kit.
♦ Aerospace and Defense Program Workstations: Complete program-specific mobile storage where oversized fixtures, wide tooling assemblies, and diverse instrument sets all travel together in a single cart that moves between assembly, test, and inspection positions in a large facility.
♦ Heavy Maintenance for Large Equipment: A dedicated MRO maintenance cart with 14 organized positions covering everything from small fasteners and electrical components in the 3" and 4" drawers to large mechanical parts and specialty tools in the 8", 9", and 10" drawers, all rolling to the asset being serviced.
♦ Production Support for Wide-Format Operations: Line-side mobile storage for operations where the working set spans a wide range of item sizes, from precisely organized small parts in shallow drawers to heavy sub-assemblies and fixtures in the deep lower positions.
♦ Technical and R&D Operations: Supporting large-scale prototype and development work where the working set is too wide and too varied for any narrower mobile format, and the 72" cart keeps the full working set consolidated and mobile between workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Rousseau 72" R-Series multi-drawer cart?
The 72" R-Series cart is the widest mobile storage unit in the R-Series lineup, built for operations where the 60" and 62" formats fall short of what the working set requires. It carries 14 drawers with 400-pound capacity each and full-extension slides, rolling on 6" polyurethane casters rated at 900 pounds apiece. CustomMHS is an authorized Rousseau distributor, and all purchases include the manufacturer's factory warranty.
What models are available?
Two, both at 72" x 24" x 41-1/2" with the same 14-drawer layout. The R5XLE-3401 includes drawer partitions and the R5XLE-3402 does not. Everything else about the two units is identical, so the decision is entirely about whether you want the drawers subdivided from the start.
Should I choose the model with or without partitions?
Choose partitions when drawers will hold multiple part numbers or tool types that need to stay separated, which is most tool crib and MRO work. Choose the version without when drawers hold single large items, fixture assemblies, or tooling that occupies the full drawer, since partitions would only get in the way. Both models cost their own price, so match it to how the drawers will actually be loaded.
What drawer heights are included?
The 14 drawers span seven heights: one 3", three 4", two 5", four 6", two 8", one 9", and one 10". That distribution puts most of the positions in the shallow and mid range where small parts and hand tools go, while still providing deep drawers at the bottom for larger items. The mix is fixed on both models.
What does full extension mean on these drawers?
Full extension means each drawer pulls out its entire 24" depth, so items at the back are as reachable as items at the front. On partial extension slides, the rear portion stays inside the cabinet and requires reaching in blind, which is how tooling pushed to the back effectively disappears from use. At 400 pounds per drawer, full extension also matters for handling heavy items without leaning over the cart.
How does the 72" cart help your facility?
The width is the point. When a working set spans large-format dies, wide tooling assemblies, and diverse instrument sets, a narrower cart forces splitting the kit across two units or leaving part of it behind, and both create the trips this equipment exists to eliminate. At 72" with 14 positions, the full set travels together between assembly, test, and inspection stations. In heavy MRO work, the drawer height range covers everything from small fasteners in the 3" and 4" drawers to large mechanical parts in the 8", 9", and 10" drawers, all rolling to the asset being serviced.
