ABSTRACT:
A carrier device for transporting sheet material on edge includes a flat bed disposed horizontally when the carrier device is in a transport position, a carriage having a single swivel-type caster wheel underlying and supporting the bed at one end portion thereof for movement across a surface, and a pair of sidewalls attached lengthwise on the bed and laterally spaced from one another to receive a lower edge of the sheet material between them and having sufficient height to laterally confine the lower edge of the sheet material so as to prevent it from being inadvertently pulled or pushed off the bed. The bed has a pair of opposite side edges extending from the rear to a front end thereof and converging toward one another such that the bed side edges and caster wheel cause movement of the carrier device sideways away from and around an object in its path upon engagement of one side edge of the bed with the object. The carrier device also has a pedestal attached below an opposite end portion of the bed. The pedestal and caster wheel are arranged to maintain the carrier device in an upright freestanding position when unloaded making it easier to load the sheet material thereon. The sidewalls have aligned holes capable of receiving a removable fastener for temporarily attaching the sheet material to the sidewalls so as to permit the carrier device and sheet material to be carried together over objects and up stairways.
