Use a Folding Chair Cart to move your Chairs

If you are thinking of running or buying a rental company that supplies tables and chairs for events you need to make sure that you have the appropriate equipment to move the tables and chairs around in your storage area and at events.  If you have your own hall that is rented out for events a folding chair cart is absolutely essential for making the best use of your employees’ time in getting your chairs to the right areas quickly.

There are a number of folding chair carts available for purchase that will serve your needs depending on how many chairs you need to transport.  Most folding chairs are of a standard size so the various manufacturers of carts do not have to worry about how wide to make their carts.  If you happen to have some older chairs that do not fit on a standard stacking cart you can buy the kind of folding chair cart where the chairs hang.  These carts are usually two tiered and hold chairs on both levels on both sides of the cart or less expensive versions allow for chairs to be hung on only one side.  These carts are the most expensive due to the fact that they have to be built to be very stable, especially when loaded.  These carts range in price from a little over three hundred dollars ($300) to close to five hundred dollars ($500).  There are racks called Half Tier Hanging Chair racks.  They are a little wider than the two tier racks but do not hold as many chairs; however, the cost is still over three hundred dollars ($300).

Contrast the two tiered rack with a single stacking cart.  Single stacking carts may hold up to fifteen folding chairs and start below one hundred dollars ($100).  Depending on your storage area the stacking carts may be what you need.  Higher ceilings are needed for the two tiered hanging chair racks.   If you have more then twenty or so folding chairs you will want to look at the various standing chair racks available.

Standing chair racks come in different lengths to accommodate the number of chairs you need to transport.  The shortest standing folding chair carts will accommodate about thirty standard folding metal chairs.  The longest ones can hold one hundred chairs, but as a result are harder to maneuver and require a great deal more strength to move.  They start at a little over one hundred dollars ($100) and go to almost three hundred dollars ($300).
