ABSTRACT:
A materials handling device for handling sheets of plywood, sheet rock, plate glass or other flat materials. The device has a padded channel base, which supports the material, over a substantial length, thus eliminating problem of dents, and breakage in the material. At approximately the mid-point of the length of the channel base is affixed a padded broad clamp, which secures the material in the base channel. The securing of the material in the device, along the length of the base channel utilizes the inherent rigidity of the material to add to the rigidity of the device. The broad clamp is affixed to the base channel in such a manner that the broad clamp is high enough above the base channel to provide superior stability, minimizing tipping. At one end of the base channel is affixed a cross member, supporting floor engaging wheels, of sufficient width to insure stability. At the other end of the base channel is affixed, a handle to facilitate moving from one location to another. The device with the sheets of material therein can be easily moved by picking up one end of the material and rolling. The rigidity and stability of the device are sufficient to permit a carpenter to plane, saw, or otherwise on the upper edge of the material while the material is supported by the device.
