Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 330 lbs (150 kg) for the entire cart, or 165 lbs (75 kg) per shelf. Overloading can cause instability and damage.
- Even Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability. Avoid placing heavy items solely on one side or shelf.
- Brakes: Always engage the wheel brakes when the cart is stationary to prevent unintended movement.
- Surface: Use the cart on flat, stable surfaces. Avoid sloped or uneven terrain to prevent tipping.
- Assembly: Ensure all components are securely fastened according to the assembly instructions before use. Regularly check fasteners for tightness.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the cart during assembly and operation.

Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your tool cart. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for easier handling.
- Attach Wheels: Carefully turn the bottom shelf upside down. Insert the four universal wheels into the designated holes at each corner of the bottom shelf. Ensure the two wheels with brakes are positioned on the same side for easy access. Secure them firmly.
- Install Vertical Support Posts: Attach the four vertical support posts to the corners of the bottom shelf using the provided hardware. Ensure they are oriented correctly to support the upper shelf.
- Attach Top Shelf: Place the top shelf onto the upper ends of the vertical support posts. Align the holes and secure it with the remaining hardware.
- Install Handle: Attach the handle to the designated mounting points on one end of the top shelf using the provided bolts. Ensure it is securely fastened for safe maneuvering.
- Final Check: Verify that all bolts and nuts are tightened. Gently push and pull the cart to ensure stability and proper wheel function.
Important Note: Some users have reported that the wheels can be a loose fit or that attaching the lower tray/corner risers can be challenging. If wheels feel loose, consider adding a layer of electrical tape around the wheel stems before insertion to create a tighter fit. For the lower tray, ensure proper alignment and apply firm, even pressure when securing the hardware.
