The Key Features That Make an AV Cart Worth the Investment

“Are AV carts worth the investment?”

If you find yourself asking this question, you should know that AV carts with monitor support absolutely deserve a spot in any business’s tech arsenal.

Flimsy monitor frames, challenges moving your displays from one room to another, and unreliable caster wheels are all issues that can be solved by these carts, making them well worth your cash.

With an AV cart, your teams will experience greater mobility and flexibility as they’ll be able to wheel monitors from one part of your facility or office to another with ease. And if you happen to find one with industrial-grade caster wheels, you’ll get smoother movement and added stability all in one package.

So, in short, AV carts with wheels may just be the missing assets in your electronic arsenal. If you’re still on the fence, here are the features that’ll convince you that a cart is worth your tech-spend.

Mobility and Stability in One Robustly Designed AV Cart

One of the main reasons you’re likely considering AV carts is that you’d like more flexibility in relocating large assets like your displays and monitors. Indeed, a cart can deliver on that front.

Equipped with surface-flexible caster wheels, AV carts with wheels are easy to roll on various surfaces. Whether you’re transporting a monitor, projector, or any other large piece of tech, your teams will have the necessary assets wherever they’re required.

But what good is mobility if it comes at the expense of stability?

Luckily, the right AV cart for your team also comes with locking mechanisms to keep wheels in place. This way, your cart won’t accidentally roll off, causing damage or injuring staff.

Onboard Power (With Some Models)

Sometimes, you’ll need to use your displays outside your office, warehouse, or retail building. In these situations, you’ll need a portable power source. Unfortunately, many power stations on the market can be clunky and cumbersome — so much so that they’d likely need their own carts.

For true seamless mobility and operational flexibility, onboard power is a must. And you get exactly that with AV carts (like the Explorer Display Cart).

With carts equipped with their own power source, finding long extension cords or planning your functions in limited places have become problems of the past. Instead, your team will be able to wheel monitors wherever they’re needed without having to worry about whether or not there’s an available outlet.

And with LiFeP04 battery cells, your monitors can stay powered for up to eight hours of continuous use.

Adjustable Heights for Comfort

Most screens or projectors tend to have fixed heights. This isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, but when your team needs to perform tasks and functions with more comfort, fixed heights can be a bottleneck. This is especially true in situations like presentations.

Thankfully, adjustable AV carts with monitors add comfort to every presentation and meeting. Whether it’s for office gatherings or warehouse training, a cart that allows you to change heights gives anything you’re showing greater visibility.

Outlet Unavailability No Longer Becomes a Problem

Have you had to rely on clunky and unsightly extension cords to make up for a lack of outlets?

For many businesses, a common pain point is the lack of available outlets. And for most of these environments, there are often just two choices:

Installing more outlets or using extension cords.

If you go with more outlet installations, expect costly labor and some disruptions to your operations. Choose extension cords, and you’ll risk trip hazards and unsightly spaghetti cabling.

Fortunately, AV carts solve these problems and more.

Built with on-board outlets, your team won’t have to scramble for the nearest wall-mounted socket to plug in monitors. You won’t need additional extension cords either, especially with models that are equipped with six-cord power strips.

Integrated Storage for Added Tech and Peripherals

It’s one thing to wheel a monitor, but when you need other pieces of equipment to go with it, you’ll need AV carts with wheels and added shelving.

AV carts like the PAL Cart and ProVision Cart are designed for maximum storage, giving your teams added areas for keyboards, battery packs, and projectors. Carts like these also provide your teams with spaces for critical peripherals like cables.

Durable Construction That Lasts

If you’re investing in AV carts, you might as well find ones that stay intact for the long haul. And when it comes to longevity, the carts to choose are American-made and industrial-grade.

AV carts and stands like the ones Bretford offers come from U.S. factories. Each model is constructed using American-sourced and vetted steel, giving you unmatched durability and rust protection.

Why does all this matter?

Commercial AV carts can fall apart. When they do, you’ll either have to repair or replace them, spending money and time.

When you choose a cart that’s known to last, replacement cycles won’t be an issue, and you get a tech solution that works just as hard (and as long) as your team does.

Built to Move, Engineered to Last, and Fortified for Your Business

AV carts are an operational advantage if you want your tech to move as fast as your team does. For carts that work just as hard as you do, look no further than Bretford.
