Fixture Cart vs. Linear Fixture Cart: Which One Fits Your Jobsite Needs?

Staying organized on the job site is key, especially when it comes to transporting fixtures. That is why ESA Fabrication offers two reliable solutions made specifically for electrical contractors and distributors: the Fixture Cart and the Linear Fixture Cart.

Both carts are tough, efficient, and built to handle the daily wear and tear of the field. While they’re similar, they are designed to carry different types of materials/fixtures. If you’re looking to move square or rectangular lights or long linear fixtures, we have a cart that fits your needs and saves time and space on your site.

Built for the Jobsite

With ESA products, you’re guaranteed to experience:

  • Heavy duty steel construction
  • Smooth rolling wheels built for any terrain
  • A powder coated finish for long lasting protection
  • Built in features that both save time and reduce overall jobsite clutter

Our wide array of products allow you to choose a cart that works with you, not just one that stores materials.
