A pick cart comprising:
- a first end, an opposing second end, a first side and an opposing second side;
- a plurality of shelves that are each defined by the first and second ends and the first and second sides;
- a plurality of wheels attached to a bottom of a lowermost shelf of the plurality of shelves and are configured to make the pick cart mobile;
- a first extrusion having a length and being mounted to the first side or the second side of each of the plurality of shelves, the first extrusion including a channel that runs along an entirety of the length of the first extrusion;
- and
- at least one movable divider configured to divide each of the plurality of shelves into compartments, each movable divider comprising at least one slider that is configured to mate with and slide within the channel in the first extrusion.
A pick cart comprising:
- at least one shelf;
- at least one movable divider configured to divide the at least one shelf into compartments, wherein the at least one divider includes a slider coupled to a main body of the at least one movable divider;
- a first extrusion mounted to the at least one shelf and including a free end, an opposing obstructed end and a channel that runs an entire length of the extrusion, wherein the first extrusion is fixed along a portion of an edge of the at least one shelf and the obstructed end is located adjacent first or second ends of the at least one shelf;
- and
- a blocker configured to be located on the at least one shelf and adjacent to the free end of the first extrusion and configured to be removed from the free end of the first extrusion when the at least one slider that is coupled to the at least one movable divider is being removed from or is being inserted into the channel in the first extrusion.
A method of removing or inserting a movable divider configured to divide a shelf of a pick cart into compartments, the method comprising:
- removing a blocker located on the shelf adjacent to a free end of a first extrusion, the first extrusion extending along a first side or a second side of the shelf and including a channel that runs along an entirety of the length of the first extrusion;
- inserting or removing the movable divider into a position including sliding a slider coupled to a body of the movable divider into or out of the channel of the first extrusion;
- and
- returning the blocker so that it is located adjacent to the free end of the first extrusion.
