Special vehicle - For mobile measuring, recording or cleaning
If standard vehicles are not sufficient, Apfel develops special vehicles that fit exactly to the application. We build vehicles that support your processes – stable, modular, and adaptable.
The most important advantages at a glance
- Mobile solutions perfectly tailored to the application
- Thoughtful constructions where every holder and shelf serves a useful function

- High-quality processed for long-term use and upgradable if necessary
- Individually adaptable to your application and existing processes
- Versatile use - from assembly to quality control to maintenance
Do these challenges sound familiar?
Unnecessary transit times
If work materials are not mobile or exactly where they are needed, the workplace must constantly be left. Thus, for checking the workpieces, the path from the machine to quality control must always be made – the regularity of these routes significantly lowers productivity.
Annoying searching
If everyday products like a simple broom do not have a fixed place, they must constantly be searched for. If the early shift doesn’t know where the late shift put it, the day starts stressfully.
Lack of overview
Modern manufacturing methods like Lean Management and 5S cannot be properly implemented without clear structures, order, and standards at and between workplaces.
Exhausting hauling
Your employees haul large barrels of coolant from machine to machine or fill it into watering cans temporarily. This is not only unprofessional but also a real physical strain.
Custom made special vehicles – when standard solutions aren't enough
In production, function counts instead of standard – for this very reason, we build individual special or theme vehicles that adapt exactly to your processes. Whether cleaning, PC, or measuring vehicle: Each vehicle fulfills a specific task and ensures order, overview, and efficiency in the operation. The dimensions, mounts, accessories, and color design can be precisely tailored to your requirements.

How to get your custom cart
-
Step 1: Clarify application
What tasks should the custom cart perform?
What materials or tools are you transporting?
What requirements do your environment and process have? -
Step 2: Configure cart
Should an existing custom cart, like a PC, measuring, or coolant cart serve as a base, or should a completely new cart be configured?
What dimensions (cross or longitudinal cart), mounting possibilities (perforated sidewalls) or colors should the cart have? -
Step 3: Approve drawing
Does the drawn cart fit, or are adjustments needed?
Should the cart have future expansion or adaptation possibilities?
Should anything special be considered during production, packaging, or delivery? -
Step 4: Delivery & Deployment
We deliver the custom cart ready for operation so that you can use and test it immediately.
We are happy to assist you with further adjustments in the future!

What makes the custom carts from Apfel special
Stable in use
Our carts withstand daily stress in industry, workshop, or logistics – even with high load capacity and rough environments.
Consistently well thought out
We don’t construct empty frames. Every mount, every load surface, every component fulfills a specific function. Everything is where it needs to be.
Ergonomic and employee-friendly
The carts are designed to facilitate work processes and minimize physical strain. Optimal working heights, smooth-running wheels, and well-designed grips make handling comfortable and reduce exertion.
No standard solution
Each cart arises from a real need. We don’t build according to a catalog, but according to the situation. The result fits – technically and practically.
Retrofittable if needed
Many of our carts can be supplemented later – with new structures, mounts, or functions. This extends their service life and saves follow-up costs.
Safe and compliant
Robust construction, tip-proof design, and the possibility of integrating safety accessories (e.g., lockable compartments or warning signs) ensure that processes are carried out not only efficiently but also safely.

FAQ: frequently asked questions
For which applications are the custom carts from Apfel suitable?
Our custom carts are suitable for many industrial sectors – such as maintenance, cleaning, quality assurance, or as a mobile PC station. They are used whenever standard carts are insufficient.
Can I have the cart customized to my specific requirements?
Yes, all carts can be customized in size, equipment, and functionality. Together we determine what you need – for example, special drawers, mounts, or electrical connections.
Are the carts ready for immediate use?
Yes, we deliver all custom carts completely pre-assembled. No need for additional screwing or retrofitting – just set up and go.
How load-bearing are the custom carts?
Each cart is designed for a load capacity of up to 400 kilograms. The robust sheet steel construction makes them durable even in rough environments. On request, versions with higher load capacities are also available.
Are there carts for use in sensitive areas?
Yes, upon request, we outfit the carts for special requirements – for example, with conductive rollers, lockable compartments, or splash-proof components.
Can the carts be retrofitted?
Many models are modular and can be expanded later with accessories such as shadow boards, additional shelves, or mounts. This makes them particularly durable and flexible.
