That's a good suggestion, Lee. My next step has to be to take a
look at my clamps, and see whether I need to make any adjustments. I
didn't think of the issue you mentioned, and you are absolutely
right!


Actually, no he isn't. The length of the clamp handle tip to the pad
it pushes on is always a fixed length. The end of the pipe or the
beam goes up or down on the screw, but it does not affect the
clearance to a cross piece above it.

I would suggest one modification. A bar on a pivot that can be
lowered over the clamps a few inches below where they sit, for when
you move the cart. It seems I always hit a cord or block of wood, the
rack stops quickly, and half of the clamps fall off on my head or
toes.


Pivoting bars - BAH! Duct Tape!
