// WHAT IS IT

The essential cart for cabinetmakers and shopfitters

The Flipanel is a tilting cart on casters designed for handling cabinet-grade panels (melamine, glulam, MDF, laminate, plywood, etc.) in your workshop.

Its frame tilts around an axle positioned to reduce the effort required. Move a panel standing, tilt it smoothly, set it horizontally on your sliding saw or workbench — without effort, without damaging the material.

No more need for two people to handle your panels. No more struggle!

The frame is height-adjustable to align precisely with your sliding table saw or workbench.

A stop and lock system secures the horizontal position. The frame doesn't fall back when the panel leaves the cart — handy when you want to cut just a strip then reload the panel for the next pass.

  • Smooth tilt
  • Height-adjustable
  • Auto-lock
