Frequently Asked Questions
What is the right-side flush lip configuration and why does it matter?
The right-side lip-down (flush) configuration means the right side of each shelf has no retention lip, creating an open edge for easy side-loading of trays, sheet pans, or flat items directly onto the shelf without lifting over a lip. The other three sides retain 1-1/2" lips to keep items from sliding off during transport. This is ideal for hospital tray delivery, food service, and lab applications where items are loaded from a fixed side.
How does the XY248 differ from the XA236 stainless cart?
The XY248 is longer (48" vs. 36") with a right-side flush lip for side-loading, and has 10" shelf clearance. The XA236 has all-sides lips-up configuration with 11" clearance and is shorter at 36". Choose the XY248 when you need a longer cart with side-access loading capability.
Can all-swivel casters be specified?
Yes — option 03 provides all-swivel casters for easier maneuvering in tight spaces like hospital corridors or kitchen prep areas. Standard configuration is 2 rigid, 2 swivel for straight-line tracking.
Why are bolt-on casters an advantage?
Bolt-on casters can be removed and replaced without welding or special tools, making it easy to upgrade to stainless rigs (S500) for full stainless compliance in sterile environments, or switch caster configurations without replacing the cart.
