Products / Custom Metal Carts
Doing Metal manufactures custom industrial carts and trolleys for OEM buyers, distributors and engineering teams. Choose a platform, warehouse, cage, tool, library or studio trolley, then define the load, route, storage layout, material, casters, finish, branding and export packing. If none is a perfect match, send a drawing or photo and we will start from the working problem.
Product Selection
A trolley should be selected by its job, not only by its appearance. The five questions below help your purchasing team and our engineering team discuss the same requirement.
Six Core Families
Every card links to a detailed page with buyer problems, design choices, inspection points and the information needed for quotation.
Flatbed platform carts for bulky goods, pallets, tooling and factory movement. The quote should start with the real load, deck footprint, route and floor.
Confirm: Deck size, reinforcement, handle, caster rating, brake layout, anti-slip surface and towing option.
View Platform Trolley details
Picking, replenishment and stock-transfer carts designed around aisle width, carton dimensions, shelf access and repeated shift use.
Confirm: Shelf pitch, side rails, tote or carton layout, turning space, wheel noise, brake and knock-down packing.
View Warehouse Trolley details
Mesh and roll-cage carts that keep loose goods visible, contained and easy to move through warehouse or retail routes.

These are not fixed catalogue promises. They are the engineering inputs to confirm before a design is approved.
| Decision | Options to Discuss | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Load and structure | Target load, cargo footprint, frame tube, deck plate, shelves and reinforcement | Defines the load path, stiffness, stability and caster plate design. |
| Casters | PU, rubber, nylon, pneumatic; fixed, swivel, brake or special layout | Changes rolling resistance, noise, floor protection, turning and parking safety. |
| Storage interface | Flat deck, lips, mesh, drawers, dividers, hooks, locks or padded areas | Keeps the actual goods stable, visible and accessible during movement. |
| Material and finish | Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, powder coating, plating or galvanizing | Matches strength, weight, corrosion exposure, cleaning and appearance. |
| Export configuration | Assembled, semi-assembled, knock-down, nested, carton, pallet and spare parts | Controls freight volume, destination labor, damage risk and repeat-order consistency. |
