Abstract
A material cart of a material management system includes a base frame having a bottom surface which lies substantially in a horizontal plane and also includes a plurality of wheel-including casters which are pivotally attached to the base frame in a manner which permits a pivotal movement of the wheels of the casters relative to the frame between a condition of use and an out-of-the way condition so that no portion of the wheels of the casters is disposed beneath the horizontal plane in which the bottom surface of the base frame lies and thus enables the bottom surface of the base frame to be lowered onto the floor or underlying support surface without interference from the casters. In addition, a bearing plate embodied in the casters relieves at least some of the weight of any pivot pin used to join a caster to the base frame.
