Our cart has a few benefits that I assume most setup carts have but probably to a higher level. The back has jumper hoses of every possible length needed along with 200 and 300 series fittings. This way the guys can quickly replace leaking hoses and get our mold up time increased. Obviously all of the necessary set up tools are present and organized properly, but in addition we keep all necessary pipe fittings, plugs, O-rings, and job change paperwork on our cart. This is also our sample cart so on the side we have a large variety of sprays and lubricants which are often needed for those first shots. – Andrew Schaus, Microplastics, Inc.
