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?
