FlexQube Inc. has received an order for several assembly carts that will be used in a plant that makes electric buses.

Assembly carts are designed to make material handling in the assembly line easier and more ergonomic for operators in the warehouse. By using the right material handling carts, there is much to gain for warehouses. This order consists of three different ergonomic carts, carefully chosen and customized for this customer’s assembly line. The three different solutions are shown below. All of these three ergonomic designs will be delivered to a major bus manufacturer in the USA with several production plants across the nation. The ergonomic carts will assist in creating a safer work environment, better material handling flow, and saving money due to the FlexQube concept.

The first solution is an assembly cart with a big shadow board at the rear of the cart. The robust cart with flat top is perfect for pre-assembly operations.

The second solution is an angled shelf solution to store different totes and boxes. This cart is also designed to store plastic boxes underneath the shelf by hanging them onto the FlexBeam (one of the standard components in the FlexQube concept).
