When it comes to handling the tough demands of a sawmill or industrial yard, not all carts are created equal. At KDS, we’ve engineered ours to be rugged, reliable, and ready to roll. Here’s what sets our carts apart from the rest:
1. Welded-In Bearer Caps
Unlike many carts on the market that leave bearers open, we weld in end caps. Open tubes can crush under heavy loads or just from rough handling over time. By welding in those caps, we increase the structural strength and durability of the axle. This small detail goes a long way in keeping your carts running true.
2. Solid Steel Wheels with SKF Bearings
We use single-flange steel wheels paired with high-quality SKF bearings. That means smoother rolling, less resistance, and less maintenance. Whether you’re pushing or pulling, these wheels are built to perform under pressure.
3. Rectangular & Square Tube Construction
The main frame is made from heavy-duty rectangular tubing. It provides strength and stability that outperforms angle iron or thin-wall tube. This design helps the cart resist flexing, bowing, or twisting over time.
4. Reinforced Axle Channel Design
Instead of cutting a slot in a tube to mount the wheel, we build the axle housing using two complete channel sections. This creates a strong cradle for the wheel and keeps everything aligned and secure. It’s a cleaner, more reliable design that holds up in harsh environments.
5. Reinforced Dog Bone Connector Slots
Our carts feature reinforced dog bone connector slots for safe, secure linking between carts. These slots are built to take the abuse of repeated coupling and uncoupling. Reinforcement prevents cracking over time, keeping your train of carts safely connected without failure.
6. We Don’t Just Build Them. We Refurbish Them Too.
In addition to manufacturing brand-new carts, we also offer cart refurbishment services. If your existing carts are worn out or damaged, we can bring them back to life with new components, structural repairs, and a fresh coat of paint. It’s a cost-effective way to extend the life of your equipment.
Bottom Line:
These carts are built for real work. Whether you need new carts or want to give your old ones a second life, KDS has you covered.
