INSTALLATION, REPAIR, RENEWAL

CARRIER-CART COMBO
Omni Cubed Inc., Placerville, Calif.,  offers the Aqua-JawTM Carry ViseTM and the Pro-Cart AT2 as a combo for easy-to-move stone in challenging install terrains. The Aqua-Jaw’s handles enable workers to push down or pull up on the stone to “pop wheelies” with the cart and easily climb over high curbs or other obstacles. The Aqua-Jaw, which uses a tight vise action instead of gravity-dependent carry clamps, also prevents stone from slipping on stairs and other slanted install terrains. Climbing stairs with the AT2 is also easier due to the innovative adjustable wheel base; the distance between the cart’s front and back wheels has 4” of sliding adjustment to match varying depths of stair treads.
