Scotchman Industries Launches Heavy-Duty Cart to Protect Ironworker Tooling!

Scotchman Industries has introduced its new Heavy-Duty Punch & Die Tooling Utility Cart, a robust storage and mobility solution engineered to safeguard ironworker tooling while improving day-to-day efficiency on the shop floor. Built for durability and ease of use, the cart is designed to keep punches, dies, and related tooling organized, accessible, and protected—ultimately helping operators complete faster changeovers with less downtime.

Constructed with a fully welded steel frame, the cart offers a 2,400-lb load capacity, making it suitable for even the heaviest shop environments. Its rugged design ensures long-term performance, whether used alongside an ironworker, in a fabrication cell, or as part of a centralized tooling station. The added strength also helps maintain the integrity of tooling during transportation across the workspace.

One of the standout features of the cart is its black marine-grade high-density polyethylene worktop. This surface provides a durable, oil-resistant area ideal for staging, inspecting, or preparing tools before installation. The material is engineered to withstand repeated heavy use without scratching or damaging tooling—an important consideration for maintaining the precision and longevity of punch and die sets.

With overall dimensions of 35-1/2 inches by 24 inches by 39 inches, the cart is sized for easy maneuverability while still offering generous storage capacity. It comes equipped with 8-inch swivel casters, including locking mechanisms to keep the cart securely in place during setup or maintenance tasks. These casters allow smooth movement across various shop floor surfaces, helping operators position the cart exactly where it’s needed.

Additional convenience comes from the included drawer, ideal for storing smaller accessories, spare parts, or frequently used tools. By keeping everything within reach, the cart helps streamline workflow and reduce the time operators spend searching for components.

Designed with both protection and practicality in mind, Scotchman’s Heavy-Duty Punch & Die Tooling Utility Cart is a valuable addition for any fabrication shop looking to better organize its ironworker tooling, extend tool life, and increase overall productivity.
