Q:Can you purchase doors to go on the middle shelf that lock?
by|May 24, 2017
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello Ty, Your question puzzled me a little, so I went onto Carlisle Food Service's website and located the janitorial cart and reviewed all the information on the cart. According to the manufacturer, the only accessories which appear available for it are a replacement nylon trash bag (JC1946) and a tool caddy (JC1945CB) which will mount on either the top or lower shelves. There is no mention of any type of doors available for this unit produced by the manufacturer. I'm sorry. If you want more information, please contact Carlisle Food Service at 1-800-654-8210. Their website is: https://www.carlislefsp.com I'm afraid this is all I can do for you. I have this cart and I really enjoy it. Please see my review on it. Thanks, TexasManny

Q:Can it fold down or fit in a car?

5 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  It would move well into a van but not any car I have ever seen.

by|May 4, 2023

A:  No, this cart does not fold down or fit in most cars.

by|May 4, 2023

    A:  NO

    by|May 4, 2023

      A:  Only the handle folds down. The cart is not collapsible but it is very sturdy.

      by|May 4, 2023

      A:  Hello DeeDee, No, this cart does not fold down. It can however, be laid on its side, or if you have a good van, cargo, or SUV, it will fit right in. It isn't too heavy by itself, but being loaded up may present a problem. I hope this helps.

      A:  Very Sturdy, capable and rolls well

      by|May 4, 2023

      A:  The cart is extremely sturdy - thick thick plastic and the wheels are high quality.

      by|May 4, 2023

      A:  YES

      by|May 4, 2023

        A:  Yes, it's sturdy. However, because the back wheels do not rotate it can be tricky to maneuver.

        by|May 4, 2023

        A:  Agent K, Yes, the cart is sturdy. It is of solid construction and it should hold up to mild or medium abuse. I hope this helps.

        Great little cart
        Cart is well made. Majority of cart is a thermoplastic, I do not believe reinforced. Cart comes in an extremely compact box, as cart is broken in to several pieces. The bottom base of the cart (with wheels pre-attached) 3 column pieces 2 trays Handlebar Parts "snap" together, then are held together by some standard 1/4-20 bolts, with t nuts set into the plastic of the cart. There is only one bolt at each assembly point, however the integrating pieces of the plastic, and the intended working loads, this should be just fine. Assembly instructions were not the best in the world, however they were more than adequate for this cart. The cart can only be put together one way, with the middle shelf having two heights to choose from about 3 or 4 inches apart. The wheels are nice and big, and roll over extension cords quite easily. Back two wheels are static, front two are dynamic casters. Trash bag seems like a decent duty thick construction, but will not use it by itself as a trash bag. Front part of cart is a decent size, I plan on mounting a shop vac with cyclone on the front of the cart. It will serve as a very nice shop cart.

        Simple assembly with just 11 bolts
        The cart arrives flat-packed, but is super easy to assemble. It takes just nine bolts to fully assemble, and is then a rock solid janitorial cart. You need to ensure you slide the bolt through the holes carefully to align with the built in nuts, but it is not that hard to do if you have a steady hand. The cart has built-in brackets for accommodating long handle items, and plenty of hooks and hangers for smaller items. A large platform on the base accommodates larger items and two shelves can be used for smaller items. A large blue bag attaches to the handle, within which you can place a plastic bag for messier jobs. This bags hangs from the handle, using what would otherwise be wasted space. This cart can hold a lot! The rear wheels are larger and fixed and the front wheels are smaller and swivel a full 360 degrees, making navigating tight areas a breeze.

        Great cart for flower preparation for weddings!
        This is a great cart, particularly for florists preparing flowers for weddings. It is the right height and has multiple shelves for holding tools, flowers, etc. It also has a very useful trash bag that is just ideal for flower preparation. It has slots for holding tools which is great. It rolls very well and the wheels are great except for one thing - the front wheels rotate which is great but the back wheels (larger) are fixed; this makes it difficult to move the cart around. I suggest that the manufacturer change the back wheels so that they rotate. The other issue is the push handle is very useful and folds up for storage but it would be nice to be able to lock the handle down so that it does not lift up when you try to move the cart around. I plan on drilling some holes and inserting removable bolts so that they can be locked down. The cart is great while you use it. Everything seems to be just where it should be. There ya go!

        Great Cart
        The Carlisle Short Platform Janitorial Cart is really sturdy and well balanced with lots of gadgets to help hold the tools you are moving about and the cart is easy to maneuver and guide. Mine collects shop towels in the bag and moves either a trash can or vacuum etc depending on the scheduled routine, it's also easy to load and unload. The wheels won't mark the tile, it's not rolled over carpet here but it would roll fine over the commercial short nap. I used a little Loctite 290 to ensure the few bolts stayed tight over time. The vinyl bag bottom expands so it will hold a lot and you can undo the bag to empty it. The bag and the cart will be easy to clean. It should last a long time, Assembly was quick and easy. The wheels are installed on the base and you add the few pieces and build upward. I think it's sturdier than the last RM cart we had. It’s absolutely a great cart to use. I am very pleased with it.

        Sturdy, stable, easy to assemble
        I brought this straight to the school. My intention is to convert it into a shop cleanup cart by permanently mounting a Rigid canister vacuum and Dust Deputy cyclone to it. That way the students will have all the vacuum cleaner attachments together as well as a handy trash receptacle for chips and chunks that otherwise clog up the hose. Anyway, I gave it to two of my shop students to assemble, and once they realized that there are places for long bolts and other places for short bolts, and finished taking selfies as they assembled it, they got it put together in about 25 minutes. Assembly is pretty straightforward and if you have assembled much of anything before, this one is easy. In summary, it is sturdy, stable, easy to assemble cart, and the janitor kindly offered to take it off my hands, so it gets a professional stamp of approval as well. And while I would not recommend it, it did withstand a couple of 14-year-olds who decided to give each other rides on it.

        Garden Cart?
        I have this big garden utility cart that holds like 80 tools, but not potting soil. If I actually owned 80 garden tools I'd never use 'em all at the same time. It rolls, but not over grass. So I thought I'd give this Carlisle cart a try out in the yard. Surprisingly easy to assemble, just 10 bolts all hand tightened with a flat screwdriver. Everything fit together the way it was supposed to, all holes lined up, nothing too heavy or inordinately awkward. Instructions in just English with photo diagrams and easy to follow. Rolls smooth and, yes, rolls over grass. It doesn't have shock absorbers so loaded up you take it slow but it goes. There's a part to step on to lift front wheels up if needed. You have to hold the top middle part of the cart to lift up the back wheels, (not the bag holder.) There are holders on the side to fit a shovel and rake, bottom tray can hold potting soil or larger flats, smaller trays can hold whatever else. Fits a 30 gallon trash liner in the blue bag. I'm not too sure I like the bag part. The handle flips up so the whole thing's easier to store, but the bag detaches when you do that. You can't lock the handle in the down position. I'll try it a while longer but may wind up taking that part off. The cart's pretty solid made of heavy plastic. I suppose the hardware could rust but car wax might help prevent that or just keeping it dry. I think it's a good size for gardening stuff. I'm sure it would do just fine for cleaning as well.

        Organization on Wheels
        This janitorial cart is worth every penny. Not only was it easy to assemble but it is durable. Typically if something is easy to assemble, it is cheaply made. This however, is not. The only thing I wish this could do would be to fold up. it is too big to store in our home closets. If it could fold up then it would be more convienent to store in our home. Love that you can store multiple products and its easy to push around. Overall a great product!

        Great product at an excellent price!
        The convenience of having what you need at hand all on one cart makes for an efficient crew. I find giving your crew the tools for the job allows your employee's to be more productive at their jobs and a more efficient crew and productive crew get the job done better and save you money as compared to an inefficient and non productive crew. This cart is very durable and I expect many years of trouble free service.
