The Secure, Tamper-Resistant Solution for High-Security Institutional Environments
Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of correctional facilities, prisons, and secure institutions, the New Age Industrial Heavy Duty Aluminum Correctional Duty Utility Cart (Model 97769) provides the perfect balance of security and strength. This three-shelf unit excels at various tasks, from serving meals and bussing trays to general utility transport.

Features that Make a Difference:- Correctional Duty Security: Safety is paramount. The casters are attached using tamper-proof fasteners, preventing unauthorized removal or tampering by inmates,. The all-welded construction ensures there are no rivets or loose parts that could be pried off and used as weapons.

Three sides feature 1¼” turned-up lips to contain spills and items during transport, while the front edge is turned down to allow for easy sliding of heavy items on and off the shelf.
- Heavy-Duty Framework: The frame is built to withstand abuse, consisting of 1” x 1” x .070” wall extruded aluminum tubing. The handle is a sturdy round tube bolted in place to ¼” x 1 ½” aluminum straps welded to the frame uprights, ensuring rigid control.
