Abstract
Apparatus for lifting and transporting drywall panels on a lift platform has a pair of panel-supporting legs of square metal tubing attachable to side rails of a lift platform. Each of the legs is connected to the rails by an upper clamp at the top of the leg and a lower clamp at a middle location. A panel-receiving U-shaped channel is located on the opposite side of the leg, away from the rails. The lower clamp has a standoff member included in its connection to the leg, which serves to project the bottom of the legs outward at an angle. Rollers at the top and bottom of the legs provide low-friction rolling contact for weight bearing surfaces, and other rollers are placed to keep panels away from contacting the legs or other surfaces.
