How to choose a metal or plastic cart?

Why choose a metal cart?

Advantage

Overall strength of the structure - usually has a frame that is completely welded, rather than bolted or clamped together

It is usually easier to add accessories because the bracket can be fixed or set in any position

There are usually larger drawers that can be pulled out completely to make it easier to access and place the back of the drawer

The ability to carry higher weight loads without affecting the cart structure

Sometimes larger casters can be added for outdoor use


It is usually possible to change the drawer layout according to department requirements



Shortcoming

The net weight is usually heavier

If the wheelbarrow is not made of aluminum, the painted surface of the wheelbarrow may corrod

Metal is sometimes more expensive than plastic

Why choose a plastic cart?

Advantage

Less corrosive material on the cart

Usually light in weight


Provides less clinical appearance and provides a softer look



Shortcoming

It is usually held together with bolts or clamps and may loosen over time

Accessories are more difficult to customize because they have fixed mounting points

There are usually smaller drawers because they require more external cart structure to maintain strength
