Give yourself some wiggle room as well or whatever door you frequently go through will start getting scuffed up overtime.
Aiming for 31" wide to clear all the doors at the venue. Totes are 27"ish long. We don't have to worry about doorways (except for our storage area) as we have a freight elevator to move stuff up and down, and our assembly space has double doors without a post in the middle (which is nice for fitting John Deere Combine Tractors through -- JK, they use the outside garage door

This doesn't seem very useful for the pits as it is dual sided and if you keep this on the side, you couldn't get to the other side easily. But nice concept for working in the shop (I have seen a few educational type carts designed similar to this)! Like how you guys integrated the battery cart as well. We have ours mounted on our electrical cart, which may receive a modified version of the red tote cubes to mount on top of it.
