Sheet goods are essential in a woodworking shop!
The odds are pretty good you have used some sort of sheet good in the recent past in your woodworking shop. From MDF to high-quality cabinet grade plywood, sheet good material is essential to any size woodworking shop. Even if you use mostly hardwoods, you will need the ability to bring in sheet goods for jigs and other shop needs. Not to mention all that solid wood needs to be transported from your vehicle or trailer into the shop and around the shop. There are many options on the market that are extremely expensive and others that are very affordable but are junk! Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has come up with a nice compromise to a panel cart. It is affordable and is multipurpose.
Material Mate Panel Cart and Shop Stand
Rockler is known for helping create innovated solutions to the woodworking shop. Whether that is for the weekend warrior or the high producing production shops, Rockler had products that can make your time in the shop more enjoyable, safer, and your results even better. Material handling in the shop always had been a cumbersome topic. With the Material Mate Panel Cart and Shop Stand, not only can you use it to bring your sheet goods into the shop but you can also use it as a shop stand.
With its steel construction, this unit can carry a lot of weight. Unable to find a weight capacity, we tried to test the limits. We loaded a hair under 300 board feet of 8/4 solid walnut on the Material Mate Panel Cart and Shop Stand. And to top it off, we put a baby calf on top of the walnut! With all this weight, it was hard to move and was cumbersome in itself. It is clearly not intended for this much weight but with the 4" casters, once we were able to get the unit moving it was smooth sailing.
