SDSL Staff member Josh stands astonished by this now-defunct cart that taught us that the carts probably do have a weight limit. The cart will be available at surplus. No books were harmed in this accident.

Warning: Carts may have an undisclosed weight limit. The user was pushing the cart and the front wheels refused to budge past the floor change from carpet to tile. The Transition plan does include a note for "new carpet."
