The Nolan Co.: Model TS steel carts

Model TS steel carts from The Nolan Co. have a 5,000-pound load capacity. The two-piece cart fits together and locks securely. Together, the sections form a large (47-5/8 inches by 52-1/4 inches), heavy-duty perforated steel deck. The frame assembly is high- carbon steel. The removable push handle is now eight inches taller for easier transporting of heavier loads, the company says. Stake pockets provide for containment of materials.

The carts can be pushed in either direction without removing them from the track by simply detaching the handle from one end and inserting it into the other end of the cart. Both ends of the cart have parking brakes. They're built for standard 56-1/2 inch track gauge. See NolanCompany.com for specifications and additional information.
