Two suggestions, but perhaps you cannot suspend these maps vertically?  If
not, don't waste your time reading any further, unless you want some price &
unit comparisons.  

 

I just recently saw the catalog for the Mayline Vertical Plan Files in the
demco.com catalog.  This is a steel rolling stand with clamps, with a width
of 26-3/4 inches.  The height and depth are adjustable.  The price of the
stand without clamps is $369.99, with the prices varying for the clamps
depending on the width of the clamps (packages of 6 range from 96.99 for 18"
to 164.99 for 42").

 

The second mobile system is the Ulrich Map & Plan File (listed in the
current Gaylord catalog, p. 741), which is mainly for storage, but it's on
wheels.  These come in two sizes, both expensive.  In this system the maps
or plans are suspended in "heavy-duty folders with reinforced handholds"
rather than by clamps, and these are long narrow units, varying from 36 x 43
x 14-3/4 to 36 x 44 x 31-1/2.  For the smaller unit, the prices vary from
1,780 to 2,290, and the larger one from 3,950 to 5,950.  We have the smaller
unit here.

 

Probably not what you're looking for, but since I'd recently been rifling
through these catalogs I thought at least the comparisons might be of use.

Subject: Map/Oversized Flat File Cart

 

Hello,

 

We're looking to build/buy a cart for moving large but fragile, flat files
through narrow doorways. The idea solution seems to be a cart with a
supported curved top.  Does anyone know of any vendors who sell these or if
you have constructed custom carts, what sizes have worked best?
