Anyone come up with Levrack Alternatives?

This guy released a video earlier this month on his budget build DIY Levrack. No strut channel, no fancy trolleys, no aluminum plate, no steel. Just lumber, plywood and $4 wheels.

Interesting setup. Those bolts thru the wheels seem awfully small but so far seems to be holding up. Yet another example that's making me want to build something, lol.

That it's all hanging from 3/4" thick plywood had me worried.

I think the fact that there are many professionals on GJ, some of whom actually need their shelves to hold lots of weight, influences the DIYers to think we need more weight capacity than we realistically need. There are shelves marketed to consumers that hold 2000lbs per shelf, and 8000lbs for the entire shelving unit. Two contractor style table saws weigh less than 100lbs. The average DIY'er will have a hard time putting 100lbs of tools on a 36" wide 18" deep shelf - you run into convenient access limits before you run into weight limits.
