About Horses Before The Carts
For years at Sport Systems Unlimited, we've been building heavy-duty industrial carts and saw horses for use in our own factories, utilizing the same high quality materials and craftsmanship that we've put into more than 300 dasher board systems we've sold around the world.
We now believe we have created the world's best industrial carts and saw horses, made from lightweight, strong, durable, tempered, anodized aluminum.
How They're Built:
Our sawhorses and carts are built from T5 tempered aluminum extrusions, connected without welding using 1/4 x 20 steel screws, each screw with a shear strength rating in excess of 2,000 pounds.
Why not welded? Unlike steel, the spot where two pieces of aluminum are welded becomes, by virtue of being welded, the weak point (the sudden increase and decrease in temperature inflicted on the aluminum during the welding process causes the aluminum to revert back to being as weak as if it were untempered). Further, welded joints will over time become brittle, and can crack, creating a point of potential failure, a real safety concern.
The manufacturing methodology we use for our industrial products is born in the science behind commercial curtain walls. The vast majority of all commercial buildings erected since the 1970's have window systems constructed of mechanically fastened aluminum extrusions. Think about it: in all the office buildings you've been in, have you ever seen welded window frames?
This is proven technology that we've incorporated into Sport Systems Unlimited's dasher board systems, and put to work for hundreds of satisfied clients.
We heard from one of customers "Our Health & Safety Committee advised us we had to stop using wood saw horses because they weren't strong enough for the loads we put on them. We made our own out of steel, but they were so heavy our men could only move them with a forklift. Your aluminum saw horses were the perfect choice."
Stronger than wood, lighter than steel: adding improved safety to material handling in your facility.
Now it's time for you to try them in your warehouse or plant, using our no-risk "Try It - You'll Like It" program.
