The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Kadco Our garden carts use the highest quality materials that are designed to withstand harsh environmental elements and abuse. Read on further to see specifically what we do that others don't. Buy a cart that is designed for a lifetime of use. Threaded Axles with a Lock Nut Our axles are made of high carbon steel with threads on them. We provide a lock nut to make sure the wheels on your cart stay there. Other manufacturers use cotter pins which eventually rust through causing bearing damage or the loss of a wheel. High Grade Polyethylene Tub Want a cart that will last a lifetime? Buy one that is made from materials that are made to last that lifetime. The fact is that wood rots, steel rusts, and fiberglass cracks. We carefully selected all the materials in our cart. We use polyethylene because it does not rust or rot and it has enough flexibility to prevent cracking when someone drops hard objects on it. The plastic tub of the Carry-It cart has ribbed sides and bottom for extra strength. The raised lip on the top and end of the tub is designed to carry large planter flats so they will not slide off your cart. Lightweight and Well Balanced You selected a cart over a wheelbarrow is because you are smart. You know that a cart is designed to distribute the load to the cart not to your arms. Don't defeat this advantage by purchasing a heavy cart. Our cart weighs 42lbs, it is lightweight when compared to wooden, steel, or fiberglass carts. The axle is well positioned so that you are pushing the cart not carrying the load. Zinc Coated Hardware and Frame for Rust Prevention The axle and hardware are zinc plated for protection from rust. The frame on the Carry-It garden cart is made from steel. This is not ordinary steel that has been galvanized, we use Allied brand Zinc Flo-coat tubing. This tubing is coated with zinc at the factory as the tubing is being roll-formed. The tubing is then given a clear coat on top of the zinc for added corrosion resistance and finish. Holds Liquids You'll find more uses for your dock cart when you realize that it can hold up to 50 gallons of liquid with it. Made in America Buy with confidence knowing that all of our raw materials and components are sourced from US suppliers. |
