Best Material Options for Utility Carts

Previous Post Next Post
December 2nd, 2021

Almost every type of facility can benefit from having a utility cart, whether it's a restaurant, retail store, or manufacturing plant. These carts serve various purposes, such as transporting large or heavy items, or handling multiple smaller objects efficiently. They come in different materials, including wire, plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel. The ideal material should be chosen based on how the cart will be used, though cost might tempt you to pick based solely on price. Plastic utility carts are excellent for high-traffic areas since they're less likely to damage walls and doorways if accidentally bumped or mishandled. Additionally, they tend to be lighter, making them easier to maneuver. Plastic carts also have the advantage of being moisture-resistant, with solid shelves that prevent rusting or corrosion, which is why they’re commonly found in foodservice environments. Our most popular plastic cart is the Lakeside UC54CGY two-shelf utility cart. Wire utility carts are generally lightweight and easy to handle, but you can find heavy-duty options too. Many wire carts arrive unassembled, which can reduce shipping costs. With these knock-down designs, you can clean and sanitize the shelves in a pot sink. We offer a wide range of Metro wire carts that are NSF-certified. Aluminum utility carts are lighter than their stainless steel counterparts but still capable of supporting very heavy loads without the shelves bending. Aluminum is strong, durable, and rust-resistant—similar to plastic. It’s also lighter than stainless steel, making it a practical choice for back-of-house operations. Our New Age Industries aluminum carts are particularly popular among institutional clients. Stainless steel utility carts are known for their durability and ruggedness, making them ideal for both front-of-house and back-of-house use. They provide a sleek, polished appearance and resist rust and corrosion unless scratched or damaged. The Lakeside Heavy Duty 3-shelf utility cart is one of our best-selling stainless steel options. The best material for your utility cart depends on its intended use and what it will transport. Choose between wire, plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel based on your specific needs. Cook’s offers a diverse selection of carts in each of these materials.
