Envision a set of bicycle 'training wheels' on a U bracket so that
he could roll the sheets individually into position rather than having
to dead-lift several, twice a day. I remember having seen something
like
that in a catalog once upon a time, but not since.

Catalog page cites? Advice? Criticism? Political Insults?

Here are 2 ready made units for inspiration

Bingo! That "Telpro TROLL" will work a treat!

Thank you, Art.

BTW, this may not be exactly what you need, but did you ever see the drywall
carrier published in _Fine Homebuilding_ ...sheesh, maybe a decade or two
ago? g

Picture the bottom part of that Telpro thingy, without the wheels, and with
a loop of rope for a handle. This lets you carry sheets of drywall with your
arm hanging down straight, rather than trying to hold on to both sides. You
just put your other arm on the other edge of the drywall sheet (now the top)
to steady it. The rope loop is the right length to keep the carrier a few
inches off the ground, and the carrier part is made of three scraps of
plywood screwed together. I think the configuration should be obvious -- I
hope.

Anyway, I use one for carrying a couple of sheets around at a time, with no
problem. I also use it for carrying sheets of plywood. It's one heck of a
lot easier than manhandling them.
