800BuyCart is the
Vending Division of Worksman Cycles in
Queens, New York and is the country’s
Oldest Manufacturer of Food Vending
Carts.
Worksman Cycles is America's Oldest
Cycle and Cart Manufacturer and is
responsible for
making
the Good Humor Ice Cream Tricycles and
Pushcarts that were so famous across
America from the 1930's through the
1970's.
 The
Vending Division of Worksman Cycles
introduced the first Stainless Steel New
York Hot Dog Pushcarts. Worksman Cycles
upholds more than a Century-long
Tradition and Legacy of two Historic
Companies: Worksman itself, and Admar,
the company it acquired in 1996.
Jack
Beller is vice president of the Vending
Division of Worksman Cycles and has been
involved in the business since the age
of 12. In 1948 Jack’s father, Ed Beller
founded Admar, a Restaurant Equipment
Shop, in an area that to this day is
still considered the "restaurant
equipment district”, on Catherine Street
and Bowery. The space had previously
been inhabited by manufacturers of
Wooden Vending Carts, which were still
prevalent among street vendors at the
time. As a result, people would come by
and ask “Do you have carts?’", so Ed
decided to start making carts.
 Admar’s
hot dog carts started off as Iron,
evolved into Stainless Steel, and then
into a permanent, and often copied
fixture of New York City’s landscape.
As is still done at Worksman today, Ed
Beller used Industrial Kitchen Caliber
Equipment to build his carts, which
Beller would say “sets them apart from
the skrimpers”. Admar bought the wheels
for all of its structures from the
nearby Worksman Cycles, located on a
block that was to become the future site
of the World Trade Center. Worksman
Cycles began its run as a dry goods
store before Morris Worksman, the
Russian immigrant proprietor, started
tinkering with bicycles and devised the
three-wheel designs that would replace
the horse and buggy among the city’s
merchants.
Today
800BuyCart provides Stainless Steel Hot
Dog Pushcarts, Trailers, Ice Cream
Carts, Tricycles, Lunch Trucks, and Food
Kiosks to companies like Nathan’s,
Hebrew National, Boar’s Head,
D’Agostino’s just to name a few.
