Specialty Carts

Specialty Carts for Cylinders, Bar Stock, Reels & Waste Handling

 

Specialty carts handle materials that don't fit a standard shelf or stock cart: compressed gas cylinders, long bar and pipe stock, wire reels and cable spools, and waste requiring controlled dumping. This page groups these purpose-built carts together, since each is designed around one specific material rather than general-purpose transport.


Selection Guide:

♦ Cylinder Transport: MECO Cylinder Truck (rugged steel construction) or Little Giant Cylinder Truck (secure chain restraints)
♦ Instrument and Multi-Purpose: Instrument Carts (protective shelving for sensitive tools) or Rousseau Multi-Purpose Cart (adapts to varied transport and workstation needs)
♦ Pallet Positioning: Pallet Stands, Mobile and Stationary
♦ Long Stock and Reels: Little Giant Bar & Pipe Handling Equipment, or Little Giant Wire Reel Cart and Caddies
♦ Waste and Bulk Handling: Akro-Mils Heavy Duty Trash Tilt Trucks, Bayhead Tilt Trucks, or Bayhead Poly Bulk Trucks


Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Material handled: choose Cylinder Trucks for compressed gas, Bar & Pipe Equipment for long stock, or Wire Reel Carts for spools of cable or hose.
♦ Mobility: choose a Mobile Pallet Stand for repositioning, or a Stationary stand for a fixed working height.
♦ Waste handling: choose a Tilt Truck for controlled dumping, or a Poly Bulk Truck for corrosion-resistant bulk transport.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Manufacturing and Welding Facilities, cylinder trucks support safe daily gas cylinder transport.
♦ Metal and Lumber Distribution, bar and pipe handling equipment moves long, heavy stock safely.
♦ Wire and Cable Operations, reel carts organize and transport spools during production.
♦ Warehouses and Production Floors, tilt trucks and poly bulk trucks support waste and bulk material handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a specialty cart?
A specialty cart is built around one specific material rather than general transport, which is what separates it from a shelf or stock cart. The group covers compressed gas cylinders, long bar and pipe stock, wire reels and cable spools, pallet positioning, and waste requiring controlled dumping. CustomMHS carries the full line of MECO, Little Giant, Rousseau, Akro-Mils, and Bayhead specialty carts, backed by each manufacturer's warranty.
Why do long materials need dedicated equipment?
Bar, rod, and pipe stock is heavy, unbalanced, and long enough that one person cannot control it safely on a standard cart. The load overhangs, shifts during turns, and creates a strike hazard for anyone nearby. Little Giant bar and pipe handling equipment supports the material along its length so it stays stable in transit, which addresses both the handling risk and the damage that comes from stock sliding off a flat deck.
What does a wire reel cart do that a standard cart cannot?
A reel cart holds spools on an axle so cable or hose pays off the reel as it is pulled, rather than requiring the reel to be lifted, set down, and unwound by hand. Little Giant wire reel carts and caddies both organize spools for storage and let them dispense during work, which is the difference between carrying a reel to a job and running cable directly from the cart.
When should I choose a mobile pallet stand over a stationary one?
A stationary pallet stand raises a pallet to a fixed working height at a set location, which suits a station where the same task repeats in the same place. A mobile stand does the same thing on casters, so the raised pallet can be repositioned between areas as work moves. If your operation runs jobs in different cells or reconfigures the floor periodically, the mobile version means the working height follows the job.
How do specialty carts help your facility?
Each of these carts exists because the material it carries creates a specific handling problem, and without the right equipment people improvise. That improvising is where injuries and damage happen: cylinders carried upright by hand, bar stock balanced on a flat cart, reels lifted and unwound manually, waste shoveled from a container into a dumpster. Purpose-built carts remove those workarounds and let one operator handle the material safely. In welding and manufacturing areas, cylinder trucks with chain restraints handle loads that are dangerous if dropped, and in wire and cable operations, reel carts keep spools organized and dispensing rather than staged loose on the floor.
