Load Capacity Calculator

Calculator

Here are some examples with approximate weights:

2 cases of #10 cans of tomato sauce=84 lbs

2 bus tubs filled with 8 place settings=70 lbs

1 full sized pan of mashed potatoes=32 lbs

1 18" x 26" box with 4 dz. flatware set-ups=48 lbs

Estimate a typical weight load the cart will be expected to transport. (Enter 100 min.):

Enter 100 if the load will be dropped onto the top shelf from a height more than 18" (If not, enter 0):

Enter 100 if shelves are longer than 33" (If not, enter 0):

What types of floor surfaces will the cart encounter on a daily basis? Please fill in all that apply.

If the floor surfaces are smooth vinyl tile or smooth indoor concrete, enter 0 (If not, enter 0):

If the floor surfaces are ceramic tile or carpet, enter 100 (If not, enter 0):

If going over thresholds or uneven outdoor surfaces, enter 300 (If not, enter 0):

How many hours per day will the cart be used?

If the cart is used less than 3 hours per day (light use), enter 0 (If not, enter 0):

4-9 hours, (moderate use), enter 100 (If not, enter 0):

More than 16 hours, (harsh environment), enter 300 (If not, enter 0):

10-15 hours, (heavy use), enter 200 (If not, enter 0):

Total load capacity is determined by assuming the load is distributed evenly on all shelves.
