Carpenty workshop should be able to make wooden carts!

maybe an architect needs to design it.  Would be nice for dwarves to move twice as fast, or move twice as much with a wooden cart.

The only thing I could see a cart being better for is moving heavier objects over smoothed ground.  Otherwise it would either not be worth the extra weight of the cart or more difficult to navigate it over.

Wheelbarrows and carts and such have been on the eternal suggestions list for some time, and been in first place for as long as I've been aware of the list. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/eternal_voting.php

I wonder how you'll feel about this suggestion when it dawns on you that dwarves won't be able to move those several ton boulders at all without the equipment. We might be able to chip them into smaller units by then but still, chances are, mine carts are useless unless a reason to have such carts is implemented. Right now dwarves can lug said several metric tonne boulders with quite the ease.

I think the idea is, they can carry more then one object at a time, or with some form of automation, have to carry it half as far, or twice as fast.

This is a platinum warhammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. it menaces with spikes of platinum.
there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz
