Weld a couple of the PM-1800 together and save a few hundred bucks.

I have a roll around workbench that I use for doing my buildups. It is slightly higher than my trailer I haul lumber in and just about the same height as my table saw, and the Bot. Heavy duty casters make moving the workbench relatively easy. If I am using materials that are prefinished I have an old Army blanket I throw over the workbench. Russ

a vertical cart takes up a lot less room. I only have to lift one end on the table then the other. I can fit a sheet cart in my shop and get around it. if the material is heavy I have a overhead lift I setup. I have three of these.

$1500 is not expensive. Hurting your back is a life changing event you can’t buy back for $1500.

I’m only 47 now but invested in one of the US made carts last year. Best decision I made, every kitchen we do ( this current one was almost 35 sheets of 3/4 particle core veneer) I thank myself. And we’re more productive as well.

I'm considering making one.
I'm thinking about making a double sided one so that I can bring in sheets on one side , run each through cnc and then put it on the other side.
I was mocking it up this evening on a bit of mdf to see the moving parts.
it should work. hopefully.
might get a chance next week to build it

One thing I’d say is not to cheap out on the casters. Ive tried many imported knock offs, even though they had a high load rating... they sucked. Now I only buy made in North American made.
