The Z38-004-090 is a 48 x 40 flatbed daughter cart built to move pallets through a power infrastructure manufacturing operation. The open flatbed deck takes a standard pallet and rides a mother trailer in a train.

With no shelves in the way, the flat deck loads and unloads fast by pallet jack or by hand. A push handle gives the operator control for the short moves between the train and the line.

A floor lock holds the loaded cart in place at the station. This flatbed daughter cart works within a mother daughter cart system built for pallet delivery.

Why Choose Nutting Flatbed Daughter Carts

A flatbed cart that does not match the pallet or the mother trailer slows the whole train. Nutting builds the system together, so this deck is sized to the pallet and the cart is matched to its mother trailer.

Nutting has built carts and trailers in the USA since 1891. The deck, floor lock, and frame are specified for the repeated load cycles of a pallet delivery train.

The train tows behind electric tuggers and tow vehicles from every major brand, so the system drops into the equipment already running on your floor.

Order this flatbed daughter cart as shown, or have us adjust the deck, capacity, or lock. Tell us your pallet sizes and your train setup and we will build to it.
