Not directly related to ShopBot but...

Does anyone use a cart that tilts from vertical to horizontal to aid in moving and loading sheetgoods onto their ShopBot?

If you do, where did you get it and how do you like it?

Thanks!

I bought one of these several years ago and it's a real backsaver. They run $800-1000, but Hafele in North Carolina sells them for close to half that. Their # is 800-423-3531.
I think the cart is called Panel Handler, or something like that, but I could be wrong. It holds 10 4x8 sheets and tilts from around 10 degrees to horizontal, then raises hydraulically via foot pedal to slide each sheet off onto your tablesaw (or shopbot). It also makes it realtively easy to roll ten sheets around your shop.
