Platform Carts

The Pony Express 1040 and 1040-E carry 1,000 lb. The 1031 series carries 1,500 or 2,000 lb and the 1032 series 3,000 or 4,000 lb. The PartsCaddy carries 2,000 lb, the WagonCaddy 3,000 lb and the remote controlled WagonCaddyHD up to 10,000 lb.

Choose a cart rated above your heaviest load. For loads past these ratings, see the custom engineered carts, built up to 30,000 lb.

The load should sit fully on the deck. The 1040 has a 24 by 32 inch deck at 12 inches. The 1040-E series runs from 24 by 32 up to 34.5 by 52 inches at 12 or 15 inches. The 1031 series comes 25.5 inches wide in 40, 49 and 61 inch lengths, or 34.5 by 52 inches, all at 11.5 inches. The 1032 uses the 34.5 by 52 inch deck.

A shorter deck turns and parks in less space and fits smaller elevators, so choose the shortest deck that holds the load.

The 1031 and 1032 are limited to 6 degree inclines and the 1040 to 3 degrees at full load. The 1040-E series climbs 15 degrees with 1,000 lb, or 12 degrees on the long 1040-LE.

The 1031 and 1032 use center wheel drive, which turns tighter than a front wheel drive cart in crowded aisles.

Pony Express platform carts run about 8 hours per charge on 35 or 44 Ah AGM batteries, and the built in charger refills them in about 4 hours from a 120 or 240 volt outlet. The PartsCaddy and WagonCaddy run on 36 volt systems of three batteries with an automatic charger.
