Abstract
Four identical handles for manipulating a tarpaulin with grommets in the four corners to collect and transport a load. Each handle has a handgrip with a hook on each end, a staking member, and an attachment system to hold a grommeted corner of the tarpaulin. The hooks are dimensioned to admit and support the handgrips of other handles. Two handles are grasped together by a user and the handgrips of the other two handles are hung on opposite pairs of hooks of the grasped handles that the load in the tarpaulin may be gathered and transported by the grasped handgrips.
