Steel Shop Carts

Industrial Grade Steel Shop Carts

You bought something new and it broke, already?

Yes, we all have had the “CHEAP JUNK!” thought about something we have purchased, maybe you’ve had that thought this week about your tools and equipment in your shop, perhaps your steel shop cart?

It seems like all the talk about the “throw-away” society has been around for decades, nothing new to see here, many times we don’t even return it for credit, just toss it away and buy a new one.

My experience this week was a little different, I was visiting a customer facility for a new project when I ran into this product.   It sure looks used, and it should, it has survived over 8 years of use at a locomotive repair shop, hey do you know any railroaders, they can be really rough on equipment.  If you don’t know, it is a harsh environment, no not the people, the work is hard and everything is heavy. Empty Railcars weigh 25-30 Tons and Locomotives Weigh 200+ Tons.

Steel Machinist Cart
SmallCart1 Blue Steel Machinist Cart

Now here is the photo from August 2011, the same casters, same paint job, a lot shinier.  This is a great example of the value of a product.  Anything that survives 8 years in a locomotive repair shop is doing pretty good.  Blue Steel had strived for many years to provide an “Industrial Grade” product for our customers.

It sounds silly but when I saw that beat-up old cart, I just smiled.

The Report is in.

The Report is in on our Galvanized Steel Pegboard.

This stuff is heavy-duty!!

With all the talk about all the big things going on today, we figured we could take some time to clear up something.  Our Industry Standard 12 Galvanised Steel pegboard along with the heavy-duty custom hangers we manufacture are one of our most popular products with heavy industry because so many “homeowner” type products are being re-marketed by industrial companies and are not up to the task, we decided to go big.  Take a look at our  Steel Storage Cabinets and the Wall Mounted pegboards, they are all geared toward 5S tool organization for the industry sector.  That’s why we call it the “industry standard” the others just can’t hold up.

Just how tough is it? Well here is a photo of about 85+ pounds hanging in the same area of the mounted board.  The pegboard panel and hangers are built to be used in a heavy shop environment.

Is it time to upgrade your shop or tool room?  Give us a call or email.

Shop Forklift Barriers

Shop Forklift Barriers

High-Pressure Line and Electrical Protection

One of our shops needed custom floor plates and barriers for new equipment installation.  With heavy equipment traffic in this area, we needed to use some 3/4″ Steel Floorplate.  With exposed plumbing, it was necessary to build heavy plate protectors to avoid damage from passing forklifts or other heavy machinery.

Hydraulic Aluminum Crossover Bridge

Installation of a crossover bridge

A Crossover Bridge will be a huge timesaver in your shop. With a push of a button, your workers can safely move across shop locations and not waste that time or risking injury walking up and down ramps and stairs.

This installation shows how the bridge we installed 10 years earlier was salvaged from a location that was shut down and modified for its new home.

The
The Original Bridge Installation was about 1999- Photo shows taken 2003
The pump was mounted under the concrete ramp.
After we refurbished the hydraulics and pins and a new paint job
We had to design an anchor stand for the bridge since this metal grating deck was not suitable for mounting the bridge

Truck Upfit for the Road Crew-Keeping Safe

Road Crew Truck Upfit

This crew hits the road in the rain, wind, or snow, they deserve the same work-safe environment as does the shop crew.

We were tasked with securing all the required tools for the job. We designed a special slide for the derailer since it is so heavy and requires a reach and lift with your back extended.  Is this OSHA’s number one back strain position?  It may be, but now the slide mechanism pulls it out so it is a straight arm lift position.  Next came securing brake shoes,  Derail Locks, MU hoses, buggy bars, and brooms.

The first truck we did was old but we completely emptied and cleaned out the bed for layout.

Almost as lovely as when it was new just a little more character.
