Bulk Trucks

Our stainless steel bulk trucks deliver long service life in wet, chemical-rich environments. Radiused corners, seam-conscious welds, and smooth interior walls prevent debris traps, reduce cleaning time, and support strict vivarium sanitation protocols.

Choose from standard-duty and heavy-duty 1,000–1,500 lb capacity models designed for bedding/feed transport, dirty/clean segregation, and high-throughput cage processing. Optional shelves and lids promote organized, contained movement between housing rooms, cage wash, loading docks, and storage areas. Facilities can also select caster packages, handle types, and footprint sizes to match hallway width, turning radii, and load requirements.

• Fully welded 304 stainless steel bodies with smooth, crevice-minimized interiors for rapid sanitation.
• Reinforced rims, gussets, and bases prevent racking and maintain structural integrity under repetitive daily loading.
• Ergonomic push handles, rounded edges, and corner bumpers to protect walls and door frames.
• Low-noise operation to minimize animal stress during transport on sensitive vivarium corridors.

• 1,000–1,500 lb load capacity (model dependent) for high-volume bedding and feed movement.
• 16-gauge angled stainless floors that promote drainage and accelerate wash-down cycles.
• Heavy-duty caster assemblies for smooth rolling, tight turning, and precise control under full weight.
• Deep bodies to maximize cubic capacity while staying compatible with common vivarium corridors and elevators.

• Tilt-friendly geometry for rapid unloading into disposal hoppers or bedding-disposal stations.
• Optional shelves, dividers, and inserts to organize clean/dirty segregation or component grouping.
• Fitted stainless lids or secure covers to contain dust and protect contents during transport.
• Drain ports (optional) for wet-wash workflows and faster drying.

• Seam-conscious welding and radiused interior corners eliminate debris traps and reduce contamination risk.
• Drain-friendly floor slopes and optional outlets make wash-down cycles fast and efficient.
• Chemical-resistant stainless finishes compatible with commonly used vivarium disinfectants.
• Low-lip openings enable easy loading/unloading of bulky materials or cage components.

• Balanced caster layouts (rigid/swivel mixes) tailored for tight turn radii and long corridor runs.
• Noise-damped, non-marking wheels to minimize disruption to animal rooms.
• Ergonomic handle heights designed to reduce push/pull forces and minimize strain.
• High-stability frames that prevent tipping even under uneven loads.

ARES bulk trucks are configured around your facility’s workflow—from corridor width and floor type to load volume and sanitation requirements. Each unit integrates seamlessly into bedding-change areas, cage wash, supply rooms, loading docks, and central storage.

• Facility-specific configuration: customize casters, footprints, handles, and accessories.
• Sanitation-first design: welded stainless interiors, smooth walls, and angled floors.
• Longevity built-in: high-grade hardware, reinforced frames, and wash-down durability.
• Quiet, low-stress operation: optimized for vivariums with noise-sensitive animals.

Match capacity to your typical bedding/feed volume and hallway constraints. High-throughput facilities often select 1,000–1,500 lb models for bedding transport and medium-duty carts for quick transfers or segregated clean/dirty runs.

Models with fully welded stainless bodies and sloped, drain-friendly floors can be processed in some large-capacity washers, depending on chamber dimensions. Most facilities perform rapid manual wash-downs for daily use.

Yes. ARES offers modular accessory options that can be configured at purchase or retrofitted later, including shelves, fitted lids, tray dividers, and waste-containment inserts.

For sealed concrete or epoxy floors, choose non-marking, noise-dampened wheels. For thresholds, ramps, and long corridors, larger-diameter wheels with a rigid/swivel mix provide excellent maneuverability and tracking.

Absolutely. With optional dividers, dual-tier shelves, and fitted lids, bulk trucks can be configured for segregated transport of clean supplies, dirty cage components, bedding removal, or waste workflows.

In vivarium environments, stainless bulk trucks offer superior sanitation, longevity, and chemical resistance. Poly trucks may be lighter or lower-cost, but stainless provides wash-down reliability and better contamination control, making them the preferred choice for regulated research facilities.

Consider hallway length, turning requirements, floor type, load weight, and whether the cart needs precise tracking (rigid casters) or maneuverability in tight spaces (swivel casters). Many vivariums use a 2 rigid / 2 swivel combination.

Yes. ARES can provide custom dimensions, heights, handle configurations, and caster options to match your corridor widths, elevators, cage-wash layout, and storage areas.
