Bushel Truck - The Right Tool for the Right Job
"The right tool for the right job." This has been used as an ad slogan for True Temper tools since 1907. Also, according to the USS Enterprise's Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott from the movie, 'Star Trek V: The Final Frontier', "How many times da I have to tell ya...the right tool for the right job!"
This is important when talking about bushel trucks. I am sure you all have seen a bushel truck if you ever visited a hospital or a nursing home, or even large motels. These are the big clothes hampers on wheels that are used to transport clean or dirty laundry. Bushel trucks are also used for transporting a large number of items, such as mail or boxes, by either Fed Ex or the US Post Office.
For many of us, carrying the clothes from the dryer to the bedroom to be folded and put away can become a frustrated walk. How many times have we gone back over and picked up the fallen towel, shirt, or numerous socks? Some of us use a laundry bag to carry the clothes, and this is using the right tool for the right job. But using a laundry bag to drag a hundred pounds of soiled bed sheets along a hospital hallway is not using the right tool for the job; this is what the bushel truck is for.
Bushel trucks are a great tool to have but where is the closest bushel truck store? If you need a bushel truck and you live near a bushel truck store than you are in the right place at the right time for the right tool for the right job. If not, than Rehabmart can help you with your bushel truck needs and when it comes to buying a bushel truck for that special someone, we can also help you put a smile on your child's face when he unwraps his brand new bushel truck on Christmas morning!
Bushel tucks come in different sizes and materials and
Rehabmart has many to choose from. The following are some examples of the dozen or so bushel trucks that Rehabmart offers.
The
Elevated Bushel Truck with Sewn-On Vinyl and Nylon Liners is an ergonomically designed bushel truck that eliminates stooping and bending which helps in efficient loading and unloading. It comes with a rugged, durable, and easy to clean double-sewn flame retardant vinyl/nylon laminate liner which is also sewn onto a heavy-duty zinc plated steel frame for outstanding support.
The
Bushel Poly Truck comes with the lightest and most durable 1 ¾ inch thick double wall poly base in the bushel truck industry. The tub is mounted with stainless steel hardware and rubber washers to provide a leak proof tub and it has a weight capacity of 275 pounds.
The
Tilt Bushel Truck with a Cubic Yard Capacity incorporates safety standards to insure good balance and allow for a non-hassle and controlled dumping. This 5/8 cubic yard tilt truck makes heavy loads easy to handle and dump. The tough tubular frame supports a durable molded truck body that is built to take abuse and hard work.
The
48 Cubic Foot Turnabout Bushel Truck converts from a clean linen delivery truck to a soiled lined bulk truck by repositioning the wire shelves from a horizontal to a vertical position. The one inch thick poles can handle a heavy payload with ease and are very durable and will insure many years of carefree service.
A bushel truck is not something that someone thinks about everyday (except the little child eagerly awaiting for Santa to bring him a smooth rolling bushel truck with polyurethane all swivel non-marking casters for Christmas) but they are important for the many people who work with them. A good sturdy, smooth rolling bushel truck is a very important tool for the people doing the hardworking and tiring job of laundry detail or mail sorting or even yard work. The right tool for the right job helps to complete the job in the safest and most efficient way. And a happy worker is a good worker and a good bushel truck will make a job so much easier.
