Not for: Heavy laser printers or multifunction copiers.
What the AI looks for in Computer & Machine Carts
- Load capacity per shelf
- The shelf rating should comfortably exceed your printer's weight, which is listed in the printer's spec sheet. Laser printers and multifunction machines are far heavier than the stands they often sit on.
- Top surface footprint
- The top must be at least as wide and deep as the machine's feet, plus room for the paper trays and output tray to open. An overhanging printer is unstable, and drawers can't open.
- Locking casters
- Lock at least two casters, ideally all four. Printers vibrate and get pushed while loading paper.
- Cable and ventilation clearance
- Choose an open back or a cable cutout, with vents left unobstructed. Machines need airflow, and cords must reach the wall without strain.
- Paper storage
- A lower shelf should fit a ream box or paper reams flat. Keeping paper with the machine is the main convenience of a cart.
Brands that matter
- Safco: Wide range of steel office machine stands and carts.
- Seville Classics: Budget rolling carts and mobile desks.
- Luxor: Also makes mobile computer workstations and carts.
What to avoid
- Particleboard stands under heavy laser printers
- Carts without locking casters for vibrating machines
