The Z38-004-093 is a 48 x 40 cradle daughter cart built to move spools of cable through a power infrastructure manufacturing operation. The cradle deck seats a spool so it cannot roll on the trip.

Cable spools are round and heavy, and a flat deck lets them shift. The cradle holds each spool in a set position, which protects the cable and keeps the load predictable.

A push handle and a floor lock give the operator control for moves and a hold at the station. This cradle daughter cart runs in a mother daughter cart system for line delivery.

Why Choose Nutting Cradle Daughter Carts

A round load on a flat deck is the kind of mismatch that comes from forcing a standard cart to fit. Nutting builds the deck to the load, so a cable spool sits in a cradle shaped for it.

Nutting has engineered carts and trailers in the USA since 1891. The cradle, lock, and frame are specified to take the weight and the daily cycle of cable spool handling.

The train tows behind electric tuggers and tow vehicles from every major brand, so this cradle cart fits the equipment already on your floor.

Order this cradle daughter cart as shown, or have us size the cradle to your spools or change the capacity. Tell us your spool dimensions and we will build to them.
