Modular carts and dollies are mobile transport platforms built on an aluminum T-slot framework rather than a fixed welded frame. They bolt together with shelves, work surfaces, bins, casters, and docking hardware, integrate with workstations, conveyors, and AGVs, and reconfigure without welding as products, processes, and layouts change — moving materials, work-in-process, tools, and finished goods efficiently through your operation.
Every Modular Solutions cart is engineered in-house from aluminum extrusion and matching casters, load-rated for the total payload, floor surface, and environment. From lean flow and assembly carts to heavy-duty structural dollies, specialty payload carts, and fully custom AGV-compatible designs, the offerings above cover the full range of material-handling needs — each configured for the application and built to integrate with your existing equipment.

Optimized carts enhance material handling efficiency and production logistics.
Modular Solutions carts and dollies are built on T-slot aluminum extrusion frames, typically using 45-series or 90-series profiles depending on the load requirement. Aluminum provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance, and clean appearance without painting. For extremely heavy-duty applications exceeding the aluminum capacity, a welded steel subframe with bolt-on aluminum superstructure can be specified.
Casters are selected based on total cart load (frame plus maximum payload), floor surface, and operating environment. Standard options include polyurethane wheels for smooth floors, rubber-treaded wheels for rough concrete, and stainless or nylon wheels for washdown environments. All four casters are typically swivel type, with two fitted with foot-operated locking brakes. The caster load rating is confirmed by dividing the total loaded cart weight by three (accounting for uneven floor loading) and selecting a caster rated above that value.
Yes. Modular Solutions engineers carts to dock with specific machines, conveyors, AGVs, or assembly fixtures. This includes precision-located docking pins or receiver brackets, height-adjustable platforms to match equipment feed heights, and frame cutouts or notches for cable and hose routing. Repeatability tolerance for docking positions is typically ±2mm, sufficient for manual load transfer and most semi-automated interfaces.
Special payloads require engineering review to address unique requirements: EV battery module carts need electrical isolation, fire-retardant materials, and sometimes containment trays for thermal runaway events; aerospace component carts require FOD prevention (captive fasteners, no loose hardware), precision locating nests, and often ESD protection. Modular Solutions documents the payload requirements before design begins and validates the cart geometry against the part envelope and center of gravity before manufacture.
Standard dollies and off-the-shelf cart configurations ship in two to three weeks. Custom carts requiring engineering drawings, special fabrication, or integration hardware typically have a four to six week lead time from approved design to shipment. For repeat orders of a previously engineered cart, lead time returns to the standard two to three week window once the original design is on file at Modular Solutions.
