Our carts are skinned in entirety with stainless steel. It is common to find a few plasma burns/discolorations. These are usually minimal and most are covered by pans. We look over every cart before it is shipped but we too are human and can miss something every now and then. Please contact us if you find a sharp edge that is exposed when all pans and lids are in place. These can usually be removed with a small file. Sometimes a rough corner or edge can be bumped or knocked down with a small mallet. If you have any questions please contact us. We will be glad to help resolve any issue.

The steam table and grill area will become hot and can cause serious burns. Use caution and common sense while operating in these areas. Hot Surfaces can cause severe burns.

We strive to make the best carts on the market, we don’t however make the “cadillac” in the industry, we are closer to a “ford or chevy”… but rest assured our carts will last years with very little maintenance.

If your cart is equipped with an on demand heater, please familiarize yourself with the heater manual and video. The cart water system is specifically designed for short usage times such as washing your hands or washing utensils as needed. It is not recommended for washing pans, filling your steam table or other task requiring the heater to run continuously for more than 90 seconds at a time. The heater will run continuously until you have exhausted the water supply, but this is not it's intended use for your hot dog cart. The heater and areas around the heater can become hot with use. Use caution when operating in these areas.

All of our carts have a one year WARRANTY, this covers the repair of any item that is a manufacturer defect. For additional details on the warranty click here. By purchasing a cart online in person or by mail, you are agreeing to all terms, conditions and warranties. Ben’s Carts, BensCarts or its affiliates shall not be liable for damages caused to person or property. Customer/Buyer/end-user accepts all liability for use, misuse or any and all damages, caused or perceived by usage, towing and storage of hot dog cart and accessories. BensCarts may make changes or minor substitutions that are not reflected on the website. Carts may not be received exactly as pictured. In alterations, substitutions or changes would be minor and not effect the performance or usage.

Please note: Our carts are stainless steel. It is common to find little scratches in the stainless, this happens during manufacturing and is unavoidable. Some of these scratches are common to the steel manufacturer and are that way before we get the steel. You may find places where the protective covering on the stainless is ripped, this is perfectly normal and does not affect your cart. We strive to take great care in building our carts and packaging them for shipping.

if you receive a cart that is damaged, you have the right and option to refuse delivery. If there is a minimal damage, keep the cart and make a note on the freight form with the driver. We will forward you the parts needed to replace. For example, your bread box is bent or maybe a side panel is dented bad; Take a picture, note it on the bill of laden and then let us know. We will ship you the parts to replace the damaged area. You can then still file a claim for the damaged parts and labor and be reimbursed by the freight carrier. For claims contact the freight broker whom sent your email with shipping details and tracking information. Note: Contact BensCarts before refusing freight. In the event freight is refused and returned and found to be minimally damaged, you will be responsible for all crating and shipping fees. Light freight damage can be repaired and BensCarts if required and necessary will have all damages repaired and/or replaced at your delivery state and town.

Claims on shipping: When your cart arrives, you will want to un-package it before signing that you received in good condition. Look for obvious damage to crating first. In the event damage is found, you have the option to accept the cart with damages, while noting that on the paperwork from the shipper or you can refuse acceptance and notify BensCarts so that we can ship a new cart to you. If you accept the cart with damage, please contact Bob Howard at 774-929-6446 and email [email protected] to handle the claim and so he can get you reimbursed for any damages. We understand you bought a new cart, not a damaged one, so the bottom line is, refuse if damage is extensive, if minimal, like a tail light or something, then please file a claim with GlobalTranz so that it can be repaired and reimbursed.

Financing Terms and Conditions – Customer Using Financing Financing a purchase through an outside finance company does not alleviate your responsibility to make payment in full to BensCarts. When you receive your cart you must contact the finance company within 24 hours by phone and confirm you have received your cart as ordered. This will initiate the release of funds from the finance company to BensCarts. In the event you fail to confirm receipt and acceptance you will have five (5) days in which to make payment in full to BensCarts. Failure to make payment in full can and may lead to a Felony criminal complaint with the Tennessee State Attorney's office.
