If I had a use for a ply cart, I would probably go with an A-frame style. Access to both sides.

I built one with a flimsy base and used el cheapo Borg casters. Was unable to move it. Think about it - 8 full sheets of plywood or MDF is on the order of 800 lbs + other pile-ons.
Thanks, Curt

Like this..? This was our design where I used to work
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

looking at something like this:

but maybe make it wider as an A frame, to put sheets or pieces on either side.
Never had one before, though I'd ask for opinions on what you've liked and disliked on yours..
thanks in advance.. Dave
Real good casters are essential.

I made this several years ago, holds a lot of full size sheets, has 6" casters (swivel on one end, ridged on the other, has served me well.

I found a metal drywall cart on Craigslist for $75. It can hold a lot of weight and casters are big. Makes moving it around much easier.

Since my shop is in the basement and I will eventually get kicked out of the larger part. Need to finish that project of dry walling the ceilings and walls. Make sure it fits the doorways. Here is the one I built. It has Casters from a heavy machine cart I salvaged, a 2x4 Frame base. I modified it further to have some storage for studs on top. No Pictures of that. Dan

Here is mine. I am pretty happy with it. It doesn't get moved much but will roll ok when I need it ot. I like the middle section for storing narrower cutt-offs.
