Smith System Designs Multifunctional Cart for Everyday Use

Anything Truck Allows for Easy Storage and Distribution of Materials

PLANO, TEXAS (November 6, 2007) – Assignments, projects, books and supplies are everyday elements in the classroom, and managing these pieces daily becomes quite a task for the teacher. Designed for maximum efficiency, the Anything Truck helps teachers manage the classroom essentials that can become disordered and cumbersome, allowing for easy storage and distribution of class and library materials.

Combining the best features of the Everything Cart and the Flat Shelf Booktruck, the Anything Truck has six roomy cubbies on top and two flat shelves below. The increased storage capacity saves teachers time by enabling them to distribute or pick up books, projects and supplies from all students in just one trip.

“Managing multiple containers of classroom materials can be tiring for the teacher, requiring multiple trips to the supply room and several laps around the classroom,” said Bill Risdall, vice president of marketing for Smith System. “The Anything Truck reduces the time and energy spent on getting the supplies to the students, leaving more time for learning activities.”

With eleven different colors to choose from, including Mint, Blueberry and Clementine, the Anything Truck can also be used with a color-coding system. Each grade can have a different color truck, making it easy for librarians and art teachers to make sure they are getting the right materials to the right grade level.

As with all Smith System furniture, the Anything Truck is GREENGAURD™ certified.
