CSL (Central Specialties Ltd.) has recently starting offering these impressive new Bellman Carts. These carts look very similar to bellman carts that cost thousands more. They are imported, which is part of the reason why these carts cost much less.  But CSL spends a lot of time inspecting these carts to make sure that they live up to the high quality that CSL is known for.

The CSL 3333 and the CSL 3399 feature the same design with the only differences being the metal used and the carpet color. The CSL 3333 has Titanium Gold uprights and skirt around the deck. It also comes with red carpet. The CSL 3399 features Stainless Steel uprights and skirt with gray carpet. Below are other standard features for these CSL Bellman’s Carts.

Features include:

Are you looking for a new Bellman Cart, but you’re not sure which upright finish to go with? This video will help you determine which upright finish is best for your needs.

What Material and Finish Options are Available for Uprights?

If you are looking for a specific look for your bellman cart, we have the solution. Bellman Cart Solutions offers bellman carts in several different types of metals. Many of these have options for the type of finish also.

For each bellman cart, the exact material and finish options will be listed on the page for that product. Here are a few of the basic choices…

For luxury bell carts, such as Architectural Brass and Forbes Birdcage and Deluxe models, you have your choice of stainless steel or solid brass.

• Stainless steel tends to be better for outdoor use, especially in beach environments. It also offers a more modern look.
• Solid brass is better for indoor environments and offers a richer and more traditional look.

Both stainless steel and solid brass carts typically come in two finishes: Satin (also called brushed) or Polished.

If you are concerned about the need to clean your carts regularly and fingerprints showing, we suggest the satin (or brushed) finish.

For a more moderately priced cart, Glaro Bellman Carts offer an aluminum tubing with a satin aluminum or satin brass finish. Also, please feel free to contact us regarding the 27 designer colors that are available.

The rest of the carts we offer come in a variety of materials and finishes including chrome plated, black gloss, brass tone, silver, beige, antique gold, and sierra brown.

If there is a specific finish or color that you are wanting, please contact us. We will do our best to get you the right solution for your needs.

Times are tough and budgets are tight.  We at Bellman Cart Solutions realize this and have worked out special pricing on the CSL 2005 Series Economy Bellman Cart through the end of October.  This cart is a solid cart for the price.

Features include:

• Quick Ship – Lead-time is 3-5 business days
• Silver Metallic Uprights
• 6″ Pneumatic (air-filled) Tires
• Available with Gray or Red Carpet
• Peg on each end for more hanging options

Again, the CSL 2005 Series Economy Bellman Cart is available at the special rate of $299 (almost 20% off) plus shipping until October 31, 2010.  Act quickly to get one (or two, or three) of these bellman’s carts before the price returns to its regular price of $369.  See our other economy bellman carts here.

One of the first questions usually asked by our customers is: How long will it be before we receive our Bellman’s Cart?  All of the manufacturers that we work with have different lead-times.  The lead-times below are typically pretty accurate.  Here are the current Bellman’s Cart lead-times per manufacturer.

We spoke with Rus Budde, Director of Marketing & Sales at CSL for some time about the current and new products at CSL.  We’ve been selling their Easy-Mover and Economy Bellman Carts, and also the CSL Utility Carts for some time now.  CSL offers great products for the price.  All of their products ship quickly.  In talking to Rus, you can tell that CSL goes to great lengths in making sure that the customer will be very satisfied with the product they receive from CSL.  We at Hippo Inc, as the dealer, love the commitment to quality and service that CSL has.

What’s new at CSL?

Beginning in early January 2009, CSL will be offering three new carts.  These will be imported from China, whereas the Easy-Mover and Economy Bellman Carts are made in the USA and will continue to be.  As you can see from the pictures, they will be available in a couple different finishes, Titanium Gold Plated and Satin Stainless Steel.  Initially, they’ll only be available in what you see in the pictures.  The Satin Stainless Steel model will be available with gray carpet, black bumper, and black pneumatic tires.  That cart will eventually be available in a Titanium Gold Plated finish.  The other cart shown in the  pictures is a Titanium Gold Plated cart with red carpet, black bumper, and black pneumatic tires.  It will also eventually be available in a Satin Stainless Steel finish.  The third cart is not shown.  It’s a Titanium Gold Plated Hand Truck with red carpet.

All of these carts looks very similar to carts that we’re already offering from Monarch.  See the MCL-204T and MCL-207S.  If the build and quality is better with the CSL Carts than the Monarch Carts, which we expect to be the case, they might replace the Monarch Carts on Bellman Cart Solutions.  We have had great success with CSL for the two years that we’ve been doing business with them and look forward to selling more and more of their products in the years to come.  Thanks to Rus Budde of CSL for spending so much time with us at the 2008 International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show (IHMRS).

Well, we’re back from the 2008 International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in NYC.  We really enjoyed the show.  It was our first trip to the IHMRS Show.  We were there most of the day Sunday, the first day the exhibits were open.  Over half the floor was dedicated to furnishings and equipment.  That’s where we spent most of our time.  We didn’t spend much time on the food and beverage side of the floor.

We were able to spend some time with the manufacturers that we’re already working with:

• Forbes Industries – Bellman Carts & Housekeeping Carts
  
• CSL (Central Specialties Ltd.)
• Architectural Brass
• Sico

Also, we spent a good bit of time talking and getting to know about a couple new vendors we will be bringing on board soon:

• Rubbermaid Commercial Products
• Infinity Hospitality Group

Stay tuned for highlights from the different manufacturers and vendors…
