ABSTRACT:
This application relates to a novel process for distributing construction materials from a supply site to a multi-level building site and delivering the materials to elevated floors during construction of the building. A method of delivering a material from a material source to a construction site comprising: loading the material onto a mobile cart; loading the material and the mobile cart onto an adjustable height platform; positioning a flat-decked truck under the platform; positioning the platform on the truck so that it is free of the ground; securing the platform to the truck and driving the truck with platform, cart and material to the construction site; moving the platform until the platform, cart and materials are free of the truck and the platform is free standing; moving the truck from under the platform; lifting the platform with the cart and materials by a lifting device to a desired floor of a building; moving the materials and cart off the platform onto the desired floor; moving the empty cart back onto the platform; lowering the platform to the ground; positioning an empty truck under the platform; positioning the platform until the platform rests on the truck; securing the platform to the truck and driving the truck and platform to the materials site; moving the platform until the platform is free of the truck and is free standing; moving the truck from under the platform; and removing the empty mobile carts from the platform.
