We had similar problems moving maps from one area of the building to another, and several of us devised a plan for a map cart, working with a local vendor. We had two carts built. They move the maps well and also serve as an excellent working surface. Marianne M.

The corners have been rounded off for safety. The shelves make it useful for moving atlases as well. Gerry Strey
