Morethan60yearsago,Lakesideestablisheditsimageasanindustryinnovatorwiththe
introduction of the stainless steel utility cart. …
Although we have evolved from “America’s Cart
Headquarters” to include all “Ingenuity on Wheels,” our
award-winning utility carts remain the backbone of our
company pride.
While Lakeside still features our classic and most popular
311 cart, we continue to expand our line to provide the
most complete selection of utility carts available. From
economical plastic to innovative ergonomic carts, our
seemingly endless variations and feature combinations
will satisfy your every need!
Our quality stainless steel designs and industry-leading
shipping times are what really keep our carts a notch
above the rest. Lean manufacturing methods mean our
carts are made to order and shipped in 3 days or less to
always fulfill our commitment to time saving and cost
saving service and products.
A. ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU DETERMINE THE CART YOU NEED FOR YOUR OPERATION.
1. What will this cart typically transport?
2. What types of floor surfaces will the cart encounter on a daily basis?
3. How many hours per day will the cart be used?
B. COMPLETE THE LOAD CAPACITY CALCULATOR BELOW.
Listed below are typical foodservice working situations that affect
the longevity of a cart. The intended use of the cart, floor surfaces
and hours of operation need to be considered to purchase the
right cart for the job. In other words, the best value cart – the cart
that will provide years of service, not just months.
The calculator below assigns number values that relate to specific
situations. Finish the calculator by totaling your answers. This
gives you a number that coincides with the load capacity/
Durability Index rating needed for the carts in your foodservice
establishment. All Lakeside carts have the Durability Index rating
clearly stated to help you choose the right cart for the job.

LOAD CAPACITY CALCULATOR
1. What will this cart typically transport? (Estimate the weight of the load.)
Here are some examples with approximate weights:
• 2 cases of #10 cans of tomato sauce = 84 lbs.
• 2 bus tubs filled with 8 place settings = 70 lbs.
• 1 full size pan filled with mashed potatoes = 32 lbs.
• 1 18" x 26" x 8" box with 4 dz. flatware set-ups = 48 lbs.
100
Begin the calculator at 100 lbs., even if the weight is less
than 100 lbs. Estimate the average weight per shelf of the
loads the cart will be expected to transport, and then
multiply by the number of shelves.
3. How many hours per day will the cart be used? (Choose only one.)
0
Ceramic tile or carpet, add 100 to the weight.
Thresholds or uneven outdoor surfaces, add 300 to the
weight.
If the cart is used less than 3 hours per day (light use),
no additional.
Add 100 if the load will be dropped onto the top shelf
from a height more than 18".
Add 100 if the shelves are longer than 33".
2.What types of floor surfaces will the cart encounter on a daily basis?
(Add all that apply)
0
C-6800.558.8565 | 414.902.6400
If the floor surfaces are only smooth vinyl tile or smooth
indoor concrete, no additional.
4-9 hours, add 100 (moderate use).
10-15 hours, add 200 (heavy use).
More than 16 hours, add 300 (harsh environment).
TOTAL LOAD CAPACITY REQUIRED
Total load capacity is determined by assuming the load is distributed evenly on
all shelves. (This calculator can also be found on our web site: www.eLakeside.com)
C. CHOOSE THE STYLE OF CART THAT WILL WORK BEST.
1. Are work related injuries due to pushing heavy loads or repetitive
loading and unloading a concern?
Ergo-One® Series could be your answer. If work related injuries are an issue,
or a worker uses the cart for an extended period of time, select a cart with an
ergonomic design.
2. Will the cart be used in a small or crowded kitchen environment?
Handler Series™ is ideal for compact areas. If maneuvering in tight kitchen
spaces is a priority, the Handler Series, with a vertical one-piece handle and
all swivel casters is a smart choice.
3. Do you want to secure items on the shelves during transport?

Guard Rail Carts and Deep Shelf Carts keep items from falling. Guard Rail
Carts have front rails on all shelves prevent items from falling during
transport. Deep Shelf Carts have 2-1/2" (64) to 3” (76) deep shelves to hold
items securely in place.
4. Do you need a cart that works in both kitchen and dining areas?
Front-of-the-House Plastic Utility Carts have an aesthetic appearance to
perform dining area duties with style, but are sturdy enough for back-ofhouse applications.

LAKESIDE’S DURABILITYINDEX
Our Durability Index indicates how the cart will perform over time doing the tasks it was designed to
do - not just the amount of weight the cart can hold. Each cart within a “Durability Index” category is
designed and constructed to do typical tasks in typical foodservice situations. These incorporate the
amount of weight the shelves will hold, the flooring types the cart is pushed over and the amount of
time per day the cart is used.
Cart design criteria determines the durability of
a cart over time. Here are the critical elements:
