Good morning -- 

Penn Libraries are looking to replace our current wood crates that go up on the lift with a product similar to this:

Hi Katia,

We had custom platforms with shelves built by our metal shop for our larger lifts, as well. For our smaller lift we use Gryphon book trucks, but in looking for the link for you I've discovered that they closed their doors December 2021, so not much help there.

Best,
Jenny

Hi Katia,

 

Pitt has custom carts made by our metal shop. If that's an option for U Penn, I can see if I can't get the plans for you. Just let me know!

 

Thanks,

Charlotte
