Hotel Luggage Carts

You walk into the hotel. You see the bellboy pushing a pile of bags on a wheeled cart. That it is. Those wheeled carts you see are called hotel luggage carts. You would want to use them for carrying heavy items around your house, provided your house area is big enough. Otherwise, the most common usage for these luggage carts is for carrying luggage! Business owners will need them most of the time. Think coffee shop and restaurant.

What is Pneumatic?

There are generally 2 types in the market out there. The first being with pneumatic wheels. The second is without pneumatic wheels. What is pneumatic? Unlike casters, which are simply solid plastics, pneumatic is an actual tire or tyre with air filled in. Why pneumatic? They provide shock absorption from the weights. Therefore, you will have less bump experience. Just all smooth rolling, carrying those heavy items or baggages.

Materials

Most of these hotel carts have steel structure. Other better ones have brass types (which are anodized for preventing scratches & dents) for their construction body of the cart. If not anodized, they are weather resistant, due to polyethylene (a type of polymer). Polyethylene serves the same purpose of protecting the surface layer like anodized brass does. They are even built for rust protection.

Dimensions and Weight

The standard dimensions are 25 inches (width) x 72 inches (height) x 48 inches (length). They also weigh approximately 90 pounds (or 40.5 kg). If you buy these hotel luggage carts online, they often come disassembled. Although this is the case, you can easily join the individual parts by using the Allen wrench screwdriver sets.

Features of a Hotel Luggage Cart

At the top, you will find there are hooks attached. Now you know how those bell boys carry blazers and suits with these pneumatic wheeled carts. Some carts come with pneumatic wheels, some do not. A useful guide would be to assess your floor. If it is bump and has cracks, then use the pneumatic wheels for smoother movement. Otherwise, opt for the cheaper non-pneumatic types. These wheels are often rubberdized or made from rubber for maximum grip.

At the bottom, it is made of carpet type of material. Therefore, your bags or other heavy items would not slide off easily when you move. As for the deck edges, they are coated with soft rubber bumpers. So when you knock the wall or furnitures, the rubber will absorp all the impact.
