K-Tec customized order picker cart
A well-known discount furniture manufacturer and retailer with several locations across the eastern U.S. was building a new warehouse and decided to overhaul its warehouse cart system. They discovered K-Tec through an Internet search, and the two companies quickly embarked on a project to make the furniture manufacturer’s order picker carts easier to use; with increased furniture payload, reduced noise and increased durability.
The company’s current order picker carts were too heavy, limiting the amount of furniture that could be loaded on the cart while on the picker. Noise was a big concern. In addition, the manufacturer was concerned about the safety of the carts, which required the picker operator to load material from 10 to 15 feet in the air.
Material Handling Solution – Custom-Designed Industrial Cart
K-Tec’s material handling solution included partnering with the company that made the order pickers so the industrial picker cart more securely attached to the pickers. We also adjusted the height and width of the cart openings to better fit the forks on the pickers.

The new industrial carts were less noisy and lighter in weight, which allowed more furniture to be loaded and then hitched “train style” so multiple industrial carts could be transported to the dock area at one time.
