Rubbermaid 430000BK Two Shelf Convertible Utility Cart office furniture

Convertible Utility Cart

The Rubbermaid 430000BK converts from a two-shelf utility cart to a platform truck in seconds using push buttons and a foot pedal. It collapses from 34-3/8 inches to 10-7/8 inches high for compact storage. In utility configuration it supports up to 400 lb total with 150 lb on the top shelf and 250 lb on the extended bottom shelf. The platform truck mode carries bulky loads up to 250 lb on a 24 x 36 inch deck.

Mobile Workplace Transport

Suits warehouses, offices and facilities that need a single cart for both shelved transport and flat-deck hauling through standard doorways. Four 5-inch swivel casters and a narrow profile allow easy manoeuvring in hallways. Rear wheel locks keep the unit stationary during loading. Buyers who need a fixed-height shelving unit or a higher platform capacity should look at something else.

Capacity And Limits

The top shelf handles 150 lb and the bottom shelf 250 lb for a combined 400 lb in utility mode. The extended lower shelf reduces worker strain when loading heavy items. In platform mode the 24 x 36 inch deck is rated for 250 lb. The recessed top shelf helps retain items during movement. The cart folds to 10-7/8 inches high for storage in tight spaces.
