MECO Instrument Cart for Shock and Vibration Reduction

Imagem

MECO Instrument Cart | Two-Shelf Shock-Reducing Instrument Cart 

The MECO Instrument Cart is built to reduce the shock and vibration that standard shelf carts pass directly into their load, making it a strong choice for transporting delicate instruments, precision tools, and sensitive equipment. Two sturdy 12-gauge shelves provide strength and stability, and 19 inches of clearance between shelves accommodates a range of item sizes.

Eight-inch full pneumatic casters with ball-bearing wheels help absorb movement over rough floors, while rubber shelf mats add an extra layer of cushioning directly beneath the load. Together, these features help protect valuable equipment from damage or calibration drift caused by vibration and impact during transport.

Four sizes are available, all rated at 1,000 lb capacity, with the top shelf available in a lip-up configuration by adding "-LU" to the model number.

Models and Specifications:

♦ IC11-8PN, 24" wide x 36" long. 8" full pneumatic casters with ball-bearing wheels. Capacity 1,000 lbs. Two 12-gauge shelves. Rubber shelf mats. 19-inch shelf clearance.

♦ IC12-8PN, 24" wide x 48" long. 8" full pneumatic casters with ball-bearing wheels. Capacity 1,000 lbs. Same construction and features as IC11-8PN, but at a greater length.

♦ IC13-8PN, 30" wide x 48" long. 8" full pneumatic casters with ball-bearing wheels. Capacity 1,000 lbs. Same construction and features at greater width.

♦ IC14-8PN, 30" wide x 60" long. 8" full pneumatic casters with ball-bearing wheels. Capacity 1,000 lbs. The largest model in this lineup.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Size, from 24"x36" up to 30"x60", select based on the footprint of instruments or equipment being transported and the available floor and aisle space.

♦ Pneumatic caster vibration reduction: the 8-inch full pneumatic casters absorb floor impact before it reaches the load, a meaningful advantage over standard casters when transporting instruments sensitive to shock or vibration.

♦ Rubber shelf mats, adding a further layer of cushioning directly under the load, these mats help protect delicate items during loading, transport, and unloading, reducing the risk of scratches or impact damage from direct contact with a bare steel shelf.

♦ Top shelf configuration: standard units ship with the top shelf lip down. Adding the "-LU" suffix to the model number configures the top shelf with the lip up, helping contain smaller instruments or components during transport.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Laboratory Instrument Transport, laboratories moving calibrated instruments and testing equipment between rooms or benches use pneumatic casters and rubber shelf mats to minimize transport shock that could affect calibration accuracy.

♦ Maintenance and Tool Room Equipment Movement, maintenance departments and tool rooms transporting precision tools and gauges use the vibration-reducing design to protect equipment during daily handling.

♦ Manufacturing Facility Inspection and Quality Control: When moving inspection and testing equipment between production and quality control areas, use cushioned shelf mats to protect sensitive devices in transit.

♦ Rough Floor Environments Requiring Careful Transport: Facilities with rough or uneven floors that still need to move delicate equipment use full pneumatic casters to reduce the shock transferred from the floor to the load.
