20090121504 | CORRUGATED STORM PANEL CARRIER - The present invention is a lightweight carrier related to manually lifting and transporting corrugated panels, such as hurricane storm panels, by a single individual. The storm panels are carried manually from a storage area to the location of the house where a user typically installs them, such as a window or door entry into the structure. The carrier further allows the person to carry them up a ladder and to safely place them on an angled roof as the apparatus is designed in such a way as to provide better friction than that of the panels for safe placement during installation and removal of the panels. The hurricane storm panel manual carrier allows an individual to lift and carry one or more small or large hurricane storm panels with ease. | 05-14-2009 |
