Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do schools use to move cafeteria furniture?
Schools typically use chair carts and table toters to move cafeteria tables and chairs between storage and dining areas. Raymond Products chair carts hold 36 to 84 chairs per load, and our Table Toters let one custodian move up to 8 folding tables at once — saving significant time during daily cafeteria setup and teardown.
Are your carts safe for gymnasium and auditorium floors?
Yes. All Raymond Products carts come with non-marring casters that protect hardwood gym floors, stage flooring, tile, and carpet. Our casters are specifically selected to prevent scuff marks and surface damage, which is essential for maintaining school gymnasium and auditorium floors.
Can one person operate your desk lifts?
Yes. Raymond Products desk lifts are designed for one-person operation. With a 600 lb capacity and hydraulic or mechanical lift mechanism, a single facilities worker can safely lift, transport, and position heavy teacher desks, lab tables, and office furniture without assistance.
Do you offer educational institution pricing?
Yes. Schools, universities, and school districts can request volume pricing at raymondproducts.com/pages/custom-cart-quote. As a factory-direct manufacturer, Raymond Products offers competitive pricing without distributor markups. Every order ships free within the continental US, and most orders ship within 48 hours.
How long do Raymond Products carts last in a school environment?
Raymond Products equipment is built with heavy-gauge American steel to withstand daily institutional use. Our carts are designed to last 15 to 20+ years in high-traffic school environments. We have been manufacturing material handling equipment in Minneapolis, Minnesota since 1958, and many schools still use Raymond Products carts purchased decades ago.
