ABSTRACT:
An attachment to the boom of a boom-type vehicle is for lifting and supporting a panel assembly of the type having a panel and a purline. The purline is securely attached to the panel and disposed at an angle thereto. The attachment comprises an attachment connectable to a forward end of the boom of the vehicle for supporting at least a portion of the purline and at least a portion of the panel. The attachment provides selective movement between the purline, the panel, and the boom for permitting the panel assembly to be maneuvered in the desired manner at the construction site. A panel handler assembly is connectable to a forward portion of a mast assembly. The panel handler assembly includes a rearwardly disposed purline supporting portion securely connectable to the mast assembly; a forwardly disposed panel supporting portion rotatably attached to the purline supporting portion; and, an actuator for providing selective rotation of the panel supporting portion relative to the purline supporting portion along an axis parallel to a plane supporting a forward portion of the mast assembly. The attachment provides versatile multi-directional lifting and handling capabilities which have been unachievable in prior art attachment to boom-type forklifts.
