What Is a Mother-Daughter Cart System?

A mother-daughter cart system is an efficient way to handle materials in warehouses, factories, and assembly lines. It includes a mother cart, which acts as the main unit, and daughter carts, which can be easily detached and used separately. These tugger train systems make moving materials more efficient and organized, helping businesses save time and effort.
