Garment Runner Receives Patent

July 18, 2008

Garment Runner, a laundry cart with a heavy canvas bag, was specifically created to assist with storing and moving apparel. Recently, the product received a patent from the U.S. Patent Office.

The Garment Runner, which was specifically designed for the screen printing and embroidery markets, easily moves around shops, allows for clean storage of shirts, keeps shirts separated (using a size separator option), allows for quick unloading with no stress on lower back, holds up in a screen print shop, quickly converts to a utility cart. It features an angled slope, allowing it to fit under any size screen printing dryer, and can hold up to 800 shirts.

Made from commercial steel and heavy-duty casters, the cart is strong enough to move heavy boxes, gallons of ink, chemicals, thread, office supplies or any other heavy items in any industry. It is available in 30-, 36-, 48- and 60-inch widths. The new 30-inch width size, which debuts this month, will fit through a standard doorway.
