BRIEF HISTORY OF McCLURE INDUSTRIES PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Del McClure, the founder of McClure Industries, is a veteran of the laundry industry. As a maintenance
engineer he saw that no thought had been put into the design and manufacture of carts used in
laundries. He recognized problems in design and construction: carts that couldn’t hold weight without
bulging, carts that were difficult to maneuver, and carts that caused back injuries from repetitive
movement.
He coupled his insight, engineering experience and his knowledge of fiberglass construction and
developed the line of Sanitrux carts. McClure Industries can count several “firsts”. The Spring Platform
cart answered the problem of emptying heavy loads piece by piece. As the pieces are unloaded, the
platform bottom raises, eliminating bending and decreasing the time it takes to unload a cart.
Another “first” is the much copied Turn-About cart. Shelves hold clean, folded laundry for dispensing.
When empty, the shelves convert to sides creating a bin-style cart for dirty laundry…one cart that does
two jobs.
In the 1980’s, Del realized the involvement of carts in laundry fires. He and his team developed a new
fiberglass mixture that is fire retardant. McClure Industries spent thousands of dollars having this new
fiberglass mixture tested by independent laboratories to scientifically measure and ensure it’s fire
retardant properties. Sanitrux now bears the highest seal of approval, certified Class II Fire Retardant
by Warnock Hersey/Intertek. This certification ensures that each Sanitrux cart meets all requirements
of all State and National fire codes, including California Title 19.
Having a great deal of insight, Del McClure recognized another problem in hospital laundries: the issue
of re-infection. He and his team developed the Saniwash cart washer to alleviate two problems:
1)re-infection, 2)harsh chemicals that could not be applied by hand. Today, because of health concerns
about hospital acquired infections, Saniwash is widely acknowledged as an integral part of hospital and
commercial laundries.
McClure Industries continues to recognize problems and develop systems to solve them. All of our
products are built by craftsmen who carry on the legacy of quality construction to each detail.
