Move Panels Easily

Create an improvised panel cart with clamps and a dolly.

Issue 294 - Oct/Nov 2020

I am building a house and had to move a stack of 5/8-in. sheets of plywood, but I didn’t have a panel cart, telehandler, or any of the other typical back-saving tools for the job. I improvised my own by adding four 36-in. parallel- jaw clamps to a mover’s dolly to create a makeshift panel cart, and rolled them 40 ft. into the garage. It was much easier than carrying each one, and the setup works for any sheet material.
