Mail delivery options in offices have traditionally required a compromise. To get a durable mail and office cart that was easy to handle you had to use an ugly, industrial-style construction that did not fit in with the design concerns of the modern office.  In some cases, these carts where quite durable, constructed of welded steel frames but were heavy and cumbersome to move.

Hamilton Sorter, Secure Mailing Systems (SMS) and Charnstrom have long been the leaders in mail center furniture; and have developed  new types of mail cart that combine durability, function and a look that fits into the most "design-conscious" office environment.  Charnstrom and SMS have introduced carts that are very vibrant yet retain the durable qualities of their predecessors. Most mail carts continue to have welded construction but use much lighter materials. 

Carts manufactured by Hamilton Sorter available in a choice of more than 20 laminates that complement Hamilton's (and other furniture manufacturers) colors. The carts are also available in a variety of configurations. The use of different platforms, lengths and widths, permit the mail manager to select a specific cart configuration that will meet his/her operational needs.  In many cases, we have clients that order custom carts to fully match a well designed office environment.  For a totally integrated office and mail center appearance, these carts are very attractive and completely functional.

Most of today's mail carts have tubular steel handle that are padded for comfort and ergonomics. Carts are fully protected by scuff-resistant black bumpers to protect walls and furniture, especially in elevators and executive office environments. Additional protection is available to protect such precious surfaces as marble walls, floors and expensive room decor's.  Existing mail carts, purchased from us, can be retrofitted to meet new facility requirements.

Wheels another component that has improved dramatically.  Hamilton Sorter, SMS and Charnstrom offer standard wheels that are inset to avoid contact with passing objects and to provide extraordinary maneuverability for a cart. Compared to older, traditional mail carts, the new generation of wheels turn and swivel with the lightest touch.

Many different accessories are available from each manufacturer.  Baskets are available for different types of material; support hanging folders and can be easily removed, making room for packages and other delivery items.  Locking devices and different covers are available to meet unique mail operational requirements should these carts need to be left in an open space for a long period of time..
