Canopies & Graphics
June 7th, 2011 by Neil Williams
The main purpose of the overhead canopy is to announce your presence in whatever venue you are selling your products. And the types and styles of canopies are limited only by one’s imagination. For your ice cream cart, pretzel cart, beer cart, or any outdoor pushcart, the overhead canopy can be a very cost-effective way of advertising your products. We have included some basic designs and concepts, along with the specifications and drawings. Standard with our canopies are spring-assist support poles, a light & outlet and a pull-out shade for the operator. The canopies break down without tools and can be effortlessly raised and lower for set-up. With the canopy lowered, or in the down position, the cart will fit through a man door.
Custom Graphics are another way to advertise your product. When you choose to upgrade your cart and canopy with graphics, you have options. Any option will require that you produce a design, a logo, that represents you and your product.
A graphics artist can help you design your image and produce the proper files for printing.
Your local sign maker can print vinyl decals and apply them to your cart after you take delivery. Alternately you can provide print-ready files to Nelson so we can print and install them at the factory before shipping your cart to you complete.
The print process used by Nelson is tried and true. We print second surface onto the lexan cart and canopy panels with an expensive high tech print machine then backed up for protection on the inside. This process, although more costly than vinyl decals, promises vibrant, durable, full color graphics protected from fading and scratching.
The Basic Canopy Styles are standard and composed of aluminum frames with white lexan (space age UV treated polymer) panels riveted to the frames. They include a pull-out shade, light, electrical outlet, spring-assist poles, and depending on the design, a storage shelf for lightweight paper products.
If your opting for custom graphics purchased from us, your printed panels with be installed on your cart at the factory and your cart will arrive complete. No assembly required.
If you elect to have a local sign maker wrap your cart with vinyl after taking delivery, the white lexan with accept this method nicely.
You may elect no canopy at this time, but the cart will be manufactured to accept a canopy at a later date, with the holes covered with removeable caps.
Just remember, it’s cheap real estate up there. Consider the visability at an event after dark when you have your name in lights over the heads of any crowded venue.
Some of the canopies shown have additional charges. Custom canopies can also be made. Just ask.
