MOBILE SHOP
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MOBILE SHOP from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between MOBILE SHOP heavy-duty and light-duty utility carts?
MOBILE SHOP categorizes its carts by duty rating, which corresponds to construction and capacity. Heavy-duty models, such as the MS-H3O and MS-CPMC series, typically measure 26 to 27 inches wide, 38 to 40 inches deep, and 43 inches high, and may include four or five drawers. Light-duty models, such as the MS-H3O-B and MS-H3O-EMTY, are smaller at approximately 16 inches wide, 36 inches deep, and 39.5 inches high. The duty rating reflects the intended load and frequency of use in industrial or workshop settings.
Are MOBILE SHOP tool carts lockable?
Many MOBILE SHOP utility carts are padlockable, meaning they have a hasp or locking point that accepts a user-supplied padlock to secure drawers and cabinets. This feature is specified on models such as MS-H3O-ND, MS-CPMC-PRO, and MS-H3O. Padlockability allows tools and parts to be secured when the cart is unattended, which is relevant for shared workshops, maintenance areas, or job sites where tool accountability is required. Padlocks are not included unless explicitly stated.
What is included in the MOBILE SHOP Master Tool Set (97 pieces)?
The MOBILE SHOP Master Tool Set, model MS-CTB, is a 97-piece tool set supplied in a tool bag. It includes SAE sockets with a 3/8-inch drive, tongue and groove pliers, six slotted screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, and three accessories. The set is intended as a portable tool kit that can be used independently or in conjunction with MOBILE SHOP carts. The 3/8-inch drive size covers common fastening tasks in maintenance and assembly work. The tool bag provides storage and transport for the set.
Can MOBILE SHOP carts be ordered empty or with tools?
Yes. MOBILE SHOP offers both tool-equipped and empty cart configurations. Tool-equipped models, such as MS-H3O-ND and MS-H3O, ship with sockets and accessories. Empty models, such as MS-CPMC-EMPTY and MS-H3O-EMTY, are supplied without tools, allowing users to populate the drawers and cabinets with their own tool inventory. This distinction is indicated in the model number and product description. Buyers should confirm whether the specific cart they are ordering includes tools or is empty.
What are the dimensions of the MOBILE SHOP MS-CPMC-PRO modular cart?
The MOBILE SHOP MS-CPMC-PRO is a heavy-duty modular utility cart measuring 27 inches wide, 40 inches deep, and 43 inches high. It has a black finish, four drawers, and is padlockable. The modular design allows for configuration and expansion with compatible components. These dimensions place it in the larger end of the MOBILE SHOP cart range, suitable for applications requiring substantial storage capacity and mobility in industrial or workshop environments.
Where are MOBILE SHOP carts typically used?
MOBILE SHOP carts are used in workshops, garages, industrial facilities, and maintenance operations. They are suited to environments where tools and parts need to be organized, secured, and moved between work areas. Typical settings include manufacturing floors, equipment maintenance bays, assembly stations, and service garages. The padlockable feature supports use in shared or multi-shift operations where tool control is important. The range of sizes and configurations allows selection based on available space and storage requirements.
