Order-picking metal-shelf utility carts have a surface that holds documents for note-taking, inventory, and similar tasks. These wheeled carts are used to organize, transport, and store items, and they have open metal shelves that allow items to be efficiently loaded and unloaded onto or off of them. Metal-shelf carts are more rugged and can hold heavier loads than plastic-shelf carts. They are used in a wide variety of settings, such as manufacturing plants, stock rooms, warehouses, and distribution centers.
