How do Quad Steer Carts work?
Learn what quad steer carts are, how they work, and how using this heavy duty material handling tool can improve the efficiency of your warehouse.
Quad steer carts are a type of industrial cart that has four-wheel steering capability, which allows for a tight turn radius and greater flexibility in navigating through tight spaces. In addition, the front and rear wheels turn in sync, providing smoother and more accurate tracking compared to traditional two-wheel steer carts. This design allows for improved accuracy in cart positioning and makes material handling operations more efficient and effective.
These heavy-duty material handling carts can be linked in a train and used with virtually any tugger, including automated guided vehicles (AGV).
