A large utility cart is an ideal option when there is a need to move around equipment, supplies, or other objects. These carts are especially useful for laboratory, industrial, or warehouse use. A rolling utility cart is designed to be heavy-duty and can withstand heavy equipment and large loads. There are many types of utility carts with wheels and many specialized features that include drawers, shelves, and more.
A Utility Cart with Wheels
A utility cart with wheels uses industrial, heavy-duty casters. Caster type wheels can easily be adjusted based on the design, and weight requirements of your workplace. A heavy-duty rolling utility cart can include wheels that swivel or fixed wheels. Sometimes a rolling utility cart can include two swivel wheels and two fixed wheels. Wheel locking features are also available. Other wheel options include leveling casters and vibration-damping casters.
Large Utility Cart Storage Options

Utility carts with wheels include adjustable height cantilevered shelves. This means that the upper or lower shelves can be adjusted or removed based on your storage requirements. Businesses also have a choice between half or full-depth shelving. Standard 1 and 2 shelf utility carts are available. However, a 2 shelf utility cart may not be enough for larger warehouses. If there is a need to transport many heavy objects, it’s important to consider investing in larger carts with multiple shelves.
A utility cart with drawers can also be customized. Cart drawers are available in a variety of materials including painted steel, plastic, plastic laminate, or melamine – the choice is yours. Utility carts with drawers can include pencil drawers, utility drawers, and file drawers. The quantity needed as well as the position of the drawers can also be customized.
Other storage options include cabinets, pegboards, and storage bins. For example, companies can choose between lower or upper cabinets as well as the depth of cabinets. Even the width of optional storage bins can be adjusted. This, of course, would be dependent on the size and style of utility cart you choose. Articulating storage bins and tool pegboards are also available along with overhead tool rail kits with an adjustable weight capacity. Depending on the mobile carts you’re looking at, they’re likely customizable to include a combination of pegboards and bin rails. Including dual bin rails or dual pegboards. These combinations support industry-standard bins and pegs and can feature up to five bin rails on the standard size.
Large Utility Cart Surface Options
A portable rolling cart also comes with various surface options. For example, chemical resistant surfaces use polypropylene, PVC plastic, phenolic resin, or epoxy resin. Did you know – a chemical resistance coating can be applied to many types of work surfaces, including shelves?
Other portable rolling cart surface options include plastic laminate, solid surface, solid wood (butcher block), stainless steel, electropolished, cutting mat, EST/static control, and more.
Adjustability Options for Large Utility Carts
Adjustable height and tilt-top options are also available for portable rolling carts. This way, people with different heights can share the same mobile cart or use the same cart for different purposes. Both manual and electric adjustment options are available. To adjust the height of a utility cart manually, there are a few options. Either with the use of easy to use leg pins or by utilizing a hydraulic system with a hand crank. Alternatively, an electric motorized hydraulic lift system is also available. The motorized option is an ideal choice when working with heavyweight requirements.
