A manufacturer of commercial truck cabs had concerns about potential damage to aluminum stringers it needed to transport from its warehouse kitting operations to production lines. The aluminum stringers are 2' and 4' slender products and susceptible to damage if not handled properly. They were looking for carts that would allow them to easily load and unload the stringers then safely transport them through the plant. They turned to Creform Corp. to provide a solution.
