Review by Justin Smith
If you are like me and don’t have a spacious herp room, then you are very likely to know my pain when I have to rearrange my entire room to get the most space out of it. A few months ago I ditched my table for a rolling cart. After doing some googling, I came across the Ironton 500 lb utility cart via Northern Tool.
Before you run to your local Northern Tool, double check their website as they usually have these carts on sale. Mine set me back about $150 but it has been a worthwhile investment. After an easy assembly, I rolled my cart into my room and got it organized on the top and bottom shelf with my usual tools, tubs, and hardware. I really love that this cart has a lip to keep any snakes that go on unapproved strolls contained for at least a few extra seconds until I can get them back in their tubs.
The cart dimensions are 46 ⅗” W x 25 ⅖” D x 32 7/10” H. This isn’t a small cart by any means but for storage and workspace it’s a perfect fit for me. Other features are the handful of cups and trays the cart has which has come to be incredibly convenient for smaller stuff that typically goes missing like my pens, syringes, twist ties, and more. The entire unit is made out of polypropylene structural foam which means this sucker won’t break unless you’re really trying in addition to being easy to clean and disinfect! On top of all this it has rounded corners and wheels which don’t do me many favors since I’m on carpet in that room but hey, I can still move it around if necessary.
It is entirely possible that you could find a similar model from a different brand that is cheaper in price but from all the searching/shopping I did, this model fit the bill for me in terms of size and price point. At the end of the day these all do the same thing. These carts simply make life and organization easier than a stand alone table!

I have one of these, they’re great!
