Basket Truck Spring Lifts

Spring Lift Kits for Vinyl Basket Trucks and Poly Box Trucks

A basket truck spring lift is a spring-loaded false bottom that sits inside a laundry truck. As linen or towels are removed, the springs push the platform up, so the next item is always near the top and staff do not have to bend deep into the truck. Direct Textile Store sells spring lift kits to hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, laundries and uniform services that want a self-leveling, spring loaded laundry cart without replacing their existing fleet. Spring lifts are sized to match our vinyl basket trucks and poly box trucks by bushel capacity.

Why Add a Spring Lift to Your Laundry Trucks

Less Bending and Reaching

Without a spring lift, staff reach to the bottom of a deep laundry truck dozens of times a shift. A spring loaded platform keeps the load at a consistent height, which helps reduce bending and makes loading and unloading faster.

Faster Folding and Loading

In a laundry, a spring lift truck parked next to laundry tables keeps clean towels and sheets within easy reach of folders. In housekeeping, it keeps folded linen at the top for quick restocking of carts.

Upgrade Without Replacing Your Fleet

Spring lift kits fit matching-size trucks, so facilities can retrofit the basket trucks they already own instead of buying new carts. Order by your truck's bushel size and check the kit dimensions on each product page before ordering.

Who Uses Spring Lift Laundry Trucks

On-premise laundries in hotels, linen rooms at hospitals and medical facilities, laundries at nursing homes and assisted living communities, and commercial laundries and uniform services all use spring lift trucks for clean linen handling. They are also popular in correctional facilities and at schools and camps that process large volumes of towels and bedding.

Complete Your Laundry Workflow

Spring lifts work best as part of a full laundry setup. Collect soiled linen in laundry hampers and commercial laundry bags, move it in laundry carts on wheels, wire laundry carts and poly box trucks, fold at laundry tables, and stage clean linen in spring lift basket trucks.
