Anyone have plans or pictures of a good sheet goods cart? I have seen one somewhere in my internet travels that showed a shop built cart that held the sheets vertical and had a pivot that made it easy to load on a table saw. I can't remember now where I saw this cart.

I am thinking of building such a cart for loading sheets on my SB. I will have to use some neumatic tires because I need to roll it over gravel to load the bot so that part of the design I will adapt.

Thanks Mike

The Steve Night cart is similar to what I have in mind. I am going to make mine from steel with large pneumatic tires. I will post some pictures when and if I get it built.

My shop is limited for space and the other designs posted won't work for me.

Thanks Mike

hey you beat me to it. cart has worked well and can handle a big load. though it is hard to get past the parked cars in my basement so I made a non tilting that works well for that. here are the files. I can't remember all of the details but I needed to trim a little off the post as the top could not tilt all the way.

Yes I can see where you would need them. I wish I could have done it out of metal but I don't have enough tools. I bet it would have cost less. but get good wheels it makes a difference. Also you will need pretty firm tires or it will be hard to move.
