You load your work on the cart while it's fully extended outside the kiln, then roll the loaded cart back into the firing position. This eliminates the need to reach deep into a chamber and makes loading sculptural or heavy production work much safer and more ergonomic.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eShould I add a solid state relay?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes—especially for production-scale use. Solid state relays provide tighter temperature control for more consistent results, extend element life by reducing thermal shock, lower your electrical costs, and eliminate the mechanical wear that eventually requires relay replacement.
