Choosing the wrong A-frame transport cart is an expensive mistake — too small and you’re making extra trips or overloading the frame, too large and it won’t fit your truck. This guide breaks down the full Weha A-frame lineup by size, configuration, and use case so you can match the right cart to your operation.
The Two Key Decisions
- Single-sided or double-sided? — Single-sided carts load on one face and sit flat against a truck wall or shop wall. Double-sided carts load on both faces and maximize capacity per trip in open shop or yard environments.
- What size do you need? — Determined by your slab lengths, truck interior dimensions, and load capacity requirements.
Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided — Which Do You Need?
Choose Single-Sided if:
- You’re loading into a box van or installation truck
- You’re staging jobs against a shop wall near a bridge saw or CNC machine
- You need a lower-cost option with a smaller footprint
- You’re an installer who needs one cart per truck
Choose Double-Sided if:
- You’re operating in an open shop or yard where both sides of the cart are accessible
- You need to maximize slab capacity per cart — double-sided carts carry 2,205 lbs per side (4,410 lbs total)
- You’re running a high-volume fabrication shop with forklift access
- You’re transporting on a flatbed where both sides are accessible
