Question
What is the company that makes panel carts that can lay flat or be tipped up? I can't find them on the web.

Shopcart out of Topeka Kansas.
Hafele's is a copy out of China. Shopcart is made in the USA. I have one and it has served me well for the last six years.
From contributor M:
My Hafefe saved me some money and is now 5 years old, no problems.
From contributor P:
I've got a Shopcart and couldn't work without it. The
Hafele's okay and much cheaper, but not in the same league build-wise. Shopcart's bracing that keeps the mechanism centered when lifting is worth the difference in price alone. Highly recommended!
From contributor R:
There is a third one, Panelmate from the UK. Haven't seen one in person, but it's a great design.
From the original questioner:
That's it - Panelcart is the one I was looking for. Thanks.
