Portable Kart-a-Rail^™

Description

Built with high-strength steel and a robust 30"×70" frame, the Kart-a-Rail™ supports up to 2,000 lbs., perfect for easily transporting rails and bases wherever needed on the rooftop, grounds or across your facilities. This heavy-duty cart simplifies material handling by enabling crews to transport complete guardrail systems, and other essential roofing materials, quickly, safely, and efficiently. Kart-a-Rail™ holds up to 11 rails of any size, and 12 bases (rails and bases purchased separately).

Whether setting up temporary edge protection, relocating existing systems, or moving job site materials, the Portable Kart-a-Rail™ keeps your team efficient while reducing worker fatigue.

Crane-Ready & Site-Tested Performance
Engineered for demanding elevated work, the Portable Kart-a-Rail™ features four dedicated lifting points so fully loaded carts can be safely hoisted by crane directly to rooftop staging areas. Premium 18" flat-free, balloon-style tires navigate rough terrain with a combined weight capacity of up to 2,000 lbs., ensuring smooth transport across built-up, TPO, ISO, PVC, EPDM, and concrete surfaces without the risk of flats. Controlled mobility is guaranteed through a dead-man hand brake, an anti-turning pin, and a front locking tow handle.
