Default Sturdy portable/rollable shelves?

You would be best served buying used Metro Racks with casters. I have
one of those.

How about grabbing some rectangular pieces of wood, drilling holes
through the four corners of each piece, sticking pipes up through
the corner holes, and then attaching wheels to the bottom of the
pipes. Maybe using some wood glue on the wood to fortify the pipe
entry and exit points, with notches in the pipe for holding the
wood, etc.

The best strong and light shelving material, if not wood?

For storing tools and whatever other household items. Anywhere
between 3 feet and 6 feet tall. I noticed a design is to put two
wheels on one side but not on the other, wheelbarrow style.

I'm not trying to invent something, I'm asking for comments and/or
other ideas. Naturally I want the movable shelves to be sturdy but
light as possible. They will roll on low friction carpet here.

Thanks.
