Some static grip door and board carriers can be used with materials up to 125mm (5″) thick, depending on the distance between the gripping arms. Make sure the weight and thickness of the sheet is appropriate for the carrier before trying to lift it.
Step 1 – Position carriers
Place the edge of the sheet material between two static gripping arms. This should be done by both people, on either side of the sheet at the same time.
Step 2 – Engage grip
Lift the handle so the gripping arms tilt. As you lift the handle the arms will hold the sheet firmly between them.
Step 3 – Lift
Once both carriers are gripping the material it can be lifted. Hold the carriers steady and in a constant position as you carry them.
Step 4 – Release
Once you have moved the material to where it needs to be you can carefully put it down. Once it’s supported by the floor the angle of the gripping arms can be tilted down, so the sheet is released.
