Crescent, which has been dipping their toes into the industrial utility cart market, has launched a new folding jobsite cart seemingly aimed at tradespeople.
They advertise that at the end of the day, it easily folds into your truck for convenient transport and storage.
The Crescent SiteRunner cart features 3 shelves that can each support up to 100 pounds for a total load capacity of 300 pounds.
It’s designed for moving materials around, and for keeping all your tools and materials within arm’s reach.
There’s tool strap mounted to the top rail, for holding up to 4 hand tools.
Crescent says that the heavy duty casters are “built for rough terrain,”
A carrying handle facilitates loading and unloading from your truck or van.
Additional features include:
Palm grip handles that optimize control and maneuverability on the jobsite while doubling as a hanging notch for tool belts, hard hats, and similar.
Lift handle that enables you to easily lift the cart over object providing seamless movement over obstacles.
“Acts as a mobile workstation at the perfect height.”
Model F3SCBL
Price: $300
ETA: May 2025
Discussion
I appreciate that Crescent is expanding into new product categories, and that they’re trying to come up with solutions other than launching another modular tool box system.
The price seems a little high, but the overall product looks like it might be built sturdier than models designed for home users.
The casters bring everything to a full-stop pause – figuratively and possibly literally. Combined with the palm-style grab handles and how the only other handles are vertically oriented for lifting over obstacles, this cart looks like it’d be a nightmare in gravel.
I wouldn’t think it was designed for outdoors or mixed environment use if not for Crescent’s in-use product imagery.
Crescent advertises that the SiteRunner has T-channel accessory rails, but they don’t show what you can do with it.
You can “effortlessly attach a variety of accessories and tools improving productivity and organization.” Such as…?
If you have to toss your tools straight onto the shelves, how does the Crescent SiteRunner differ from other general purpose utility carts?
I can see it potentially working out well in some work environments where you need a cart that’ll fold up for storage or transport, but I also feel the design lacks versatility.
Maybe there’s more going on than Crescent is showing us.
