ABSTRACT:
A printing plate carrier for transporting at least one printing plate that has tabs along two opposed edges has at least one supporting bracket connected to the carrier as part of the carrier. The supporting bracket has an elongated, upwardly facing horizontal edge that acts as an elongated hook for engaging and supporting the printing plate when the tab of the printing plate is hung upon the edge of the bracket. A plurality of floor-engaging wheels are connected to the carrier to support the carrier for movement from one location to another. The carrier includes a supporting framework preferably having a pair of spaced apart upright frame members and at least one horizontal supporting beam member releasably removably connected between the upright frame members. The latter serve as supporting columns for holding the beam in place when the carrier is assembled. The beam or beams, when removed, separate the columns from one another to render the carrier collapsible so that it can be reduced in size for shipment and storage.
