When using stainless steel containers, there are various requirements for the containers depending on their intended use. For instance, when transporting contents to the next process, specifications that allow for the movement of the entire container are necessary. Here, we will explain various carts and stands that are commonly used in combination with our stainless steel containers. However, what is written here is an introduction to those that are generally known. There are many other types of carts and stands depending on materials, applications, and usage environments. When considering containers, we will propose the most suitable carts and stands that match your usage environment and purpose. We hope this explanatory document will serve as a reference when considering stainless steel containers.

• Stainless steel container

A cart or frame essential for transporting heavy stainless steel containers filled with contents. Why not make it more user-friendly with a custom design?

Stainless steel container "trolleys and stands" can also be custom-made! Trolleys and stands are essential for transporting heavy containers filled with contents. Why not make them more user-friendly with custom designs? Here, we have summarized examples of custom-made "trolleys and stands" and the selection of casters. At our company, we design and manufacture the optimal "trolleys and stands" tailored to your desired specifications, usage environment, and applications, starting from just one unit, so that our customers can use stainless steel containers comfortably.

• Stainless steel container

Stainless steel cart with handles for easy transport of containers. The cart is made entirely of stainless steel, and the wheels are made of nylon urethane, which is less likely to damage the floor.

This is a dedicated cart for straight containers (ST/CTH/CTB/STB/SMA/KTT/DT). The cart for transporting containers [KMS] has been equipped with a handle. It is a hand-pushed cart ideal for moving small or heavy containers. The handle is attached by welding, so it does not wobble. The casters are made of nylon urethane wheels that are less likely to damage the floor. The casters are equipped with stoppers to prevent movement. Custom modifications, such as changing the height of the handle, are possible.

• Trolley

This is an all-stainless steel cart used in a wide range of fields, including pharmaceuticals, physics and chemistry, food manufacturing, and kitchens.

○ This cart is made of stainless steel (SUS304), making it resistant to rust and easy to handle. ○ The handle is fixed by welding, ensuring stability without wobbling. ○ To ensure safe use, the corners of the cargo area are rounded. ○ It uses reinforcement materials on the back that do not accumulate dirt, making it sturdy and hygienic. ○ The 【NW-D-FB】 model comes with a foot-operated brake. Simply stepping on the pedal easily locks the wheels.

In civil engineering, there are many situations where temporary roads, workspaces for heavy machinery, access routes, and pedestrian walkways use ground boards. Traditional steel plates are common, but they are heavy and pose challenges in terms of transportation, installation, and removal. Therefore, the "Hyper CLT Ground Board," which utilizes wooden CLT, has garnered attention as a lightweight alternative. The Hyper CLT Ground Board weighs approximately 230 kg for a 5×10 panel and about 460 kg for a 5×20 panel. It is easier to handle compared to steel plates and can be installed easily even with small machinery. It contributes to labor-saving in civil engineering sites by improving efficiency in transportation, reducing movement work on-site, and shortening construction time. Its ease of use in narrow sites or locations where large machinery is difficult to access is a notable feature. Additionally, since it is made of wood, it helps reduce heat reflection in summer, lowers noise levels, and promotes environmental considerations. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including temporary roads, material storage areas, heavy machinery scaffolding, and pedestrian pathways, making it an effective proposal material for creativity and safety measures in public works. The Hyper CLT Ground Board is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." It is recommended as a new alternative to steel plates for sites looking for lightweight ground boards and civil engineering materials. It is also suitable for consideration of introduction.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
