• Securing the Cart: Once the cart is in position, engage the brakes on the two locking casters to prevent accidental movement.
• Using Partitions: The removable partitions can be adjusted or removed to accommodate items of various sizes, helping to keep your tools organized and prevent them from shifting during transport.
