Material Handling<br />

Why is plastic the best option<br />

for material handling effici<strong>en</strong>cy?<br />

Fed up with your metal tools rusting and wood<strong>en</strong> products rotting? Plastic is the best option for providing reliable, long-lasting material<br />

handling equipm<strong>en</strong>t that will not let you down.<br />

<strong>Rubbermaid</strong>’s material handling products are super-strong tools that perform in ev<strong>en</strong> the toughest <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

Built from durable plastics such as HDPE, structural foam or structural web, <strong>Rubbermaid</strong> provides lightweight and<br />

easy-to-use products that make material handling simpler, more comfortable and more cost-effective.<br />

■■ Lightweight and easy-to-clean construction.<br />

■■ Quick and easy assembly using commonly available tools.<br />

■■ Optimum service life: structural foam deck construction will not rust, d<strong>en</strong>t, chip or splinter.<br />

■■ Virtually maint<strong>en</strong>ance-free.<br />

Built to last<br />

Many of <strong>Rubbermaid</strong>’s material handling products are manufactured<br />

from durable structural foam – providing a lightweight, easy-to-clean<br />

and strong product that performs in ev<strong>en</strong> the toughest <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

Duramold TM decks are formed from a precision-<strong>en</strong>gineered resin and<br />

metal composite that is lighter than typical steel or wood products<br />

without sacrificing str<strong>en</strong>gth. This allows <strong>Rubbermaid</strong> to reduce the<br />

overall weight and improve ergonomics.<br />

Duramold has the highest str<strong>en</strong>gth-to-weight ratio compared to<br />

metal, wood and solid plastic decks. This makes Duramold-based<br />

products 35% lighter but still able to carry the same payload weight.<br />

Str<strong>en</strong>gth and durability<br />

Structural foam moulding eliminates the need<br />

for a metal frame and provides a seamless,<br />

leak-proof body that won't rust, chip, d<strong>en</strong>t or<br />

peel.<br />

Why choose plastic over metal or wood?<br />

There are three main reasons why plastic is a better choice for materials handling<br />

than metal or wood:<br />

Versatility<br />

■■ Delivers high str<strong>en</strong>gth design possibilities.<br />

■■ More impact absorb<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

■■ Reduces passing damage to walls, doorways and fixtures.<br />

Low maint<strong>en</strong>ance and long product life<br />

■■ Will not rust, d<strong>en</strong>t, chip, peel or splinter.<br />

■■ No re-painting required.<br />

■■ Easily cleaned.<br />

Safety<br />

■■ Non-conductive of electrical curr<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

■■ Waterproof and will not rot.<br />

■■ Resistant to most chemicals.<br />

■■ Quiet operation.<br />
