Summary of Innovation
Our innovations enhances a century old, proven material handling method. The National Cart Stepped Up U-boat has the same efficiencies of a traditional u-boat but offers a solution for safer climbing and more ergonomic product handing. This Stepped up U-boat is constructed with heavy-duty steel, ensuring longevity and stability. The ergonomic handles make ascending and descending easy, providing a secure grip throughout the process. While the anti skid tape ensure a safe transition from floor to platform. Additionally the handles act as method to contain the user for increased safety and reduce incidents. The enlarged platform feature allows users to maintain a squared body position compared to the normal twisting method a step stool encourages. The innovative no-rock center caster contributes to better product retention by keeping all wheels on the ground at all times, minimizing the risk of load shifts and potential injuries. With all the wheels now on the ground, corner caster locks can be implemented. A U-Boat with a retractable ladder is a specialized piece of equipment designed for various purposes without the high cost of operational changes. This type of cart combines the features of a U-Boat cart for transport and storage with the added benefit of a retractable ladder for accessing higher areas safely. This design offers flexibility and convenience in various work environments.
Innovation Statement
The most universal and efficient stocking solution in the industry is a U- Boat. Our Stepped up-boat incorporates a work platform that can take an operation to new heights. A built-in ladder makes material handling safer and easier while removing the hazards of a step stool. Safety and productivity are a result of ladder availability.
