Re: Storage of sheet goods


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

joe,

Joe not in NO brings a good point about access to both sides and refreshes memories. so i can add a few things:

I can say that it was never something that i was pleased with. the purpose of casters for me was never to move it to a machine, rather necessary for me to get it out of the way. nothing i stored on it was too heavy - don¡¯t recall storing full sheets.

after having it, i believe, for shorts, best is to find a wasted space and stick it in there. i have a 4¡¯x4¡¯ stair landing ~3¡¯ above floor accessible from one side and i may convert that into a matrix of cubbies for shorts. otherwise bins for vertical storage.

for ply cutoffs the cart is just a vertical storage with a leaning wall. can be easily duplicated in a fixed location.

just my $0.02.

?Joe,

after I sold the cart like you posted I did what Jason has done and used drywall carts to move and store plywood for projects then put the leftovers on the cantilever rack.?

Like Imran said the cart you posted can be hard to move when loaded parts because it is so big it requires too much space as you need to be able to access it from all sides and I remember having several sheets of plywood on it and having a difficult time because the it wanted roll when trying to get sheets from the inside. ?

Using that cart really was an exercise in frustration.

We have a drywall cart that has a UMHW?base on it, holds 10-15 sheets depending on thickness. It has really nice 5" casters on it, all 4 swivel but 2 have the option to lock straight although we never do. It rolls perfectly across our asphalt driveway, even when covered in walnut tree debris. If sheets are going to be used in short order they just stay on the cart. If storage is needed for a bit longer, I can just unload it straight into the vertical rack. I just slide the sheet off one end, tilt it up on a corner and slide it standing up into the rack. When it's time to use it, slide it out of the rack and tilt it down right onto the saw. The only time I ever lift a sheet is when it's coming off the delivery truck and two of us do that so it's easy.
We also have the Hafele Adapta Cart (tilting one) It's okay, but not nearly as nice for moving stuff around as the other. It's big and clumsy in comparison and the wheels aren't as smooth.
