CUSTOM MANUFACTURING > CUSTOM HAND CARTS

Clipper Products maintains inventories of the standard products shown at this web site, as well as sample inventories of new products being test marketed. In addition, we can modify standard products or develop entirely new products to meet unique customer requirements. For example, a custom cart may simply be a standard cart with a company logo on it, or a custom tube set may use unique extrusion molds available only for a specific customer. Whether custom or standard, all products from Clipper Products have the same great quality and attention to detail.

Three important factors when considering custom solutions are lead time, initial investment, and minimum order quantity. Lead time is the elapsed time from creation of a new design, through development and approval of a sample, to delivery of product. It typically requires 60 days to make a new mold for a plastic or metal part and to produce several samples. Add time for evaluation and subsequent production, and the entire process can involve 4-6 months. Initial Investment is the cost for special molds, fixtures, and design services. Minimum Order Quantity is primarily determined by machine setup costs, minimum material purchases, and shipping costs. In some cases, it would not be economically feasible to undertake a custom solution when there is a readily available standard solution alternative. Your Clipper Products customer representative has the experience and knowledge to help you decide which approach is best for you.

Carts can be custom made for oversized or specially shaped cargo, or to accommodate a specific collection of equipment for field usage. Our carts feature folding/telescoping designs, which are ideal for people who use private or public transportation to get to their destination.
