Clamping Cart

[lino-man]

Several weeks back I recall seeing an add for a yellow 2 wheeled cart that was specifically designed to move heavy, odd materials.  For example a 4x8 sheet of drywall, particle board, plywood, etc.  The cart was placed underneath the center of the material, which was inserted vertically.  The weight of the material pushed down on the center, which closed the clamp, and holds the material vertically, making it very easy to transport.  I even recall seeing a video of it. 
I have searched hi and low and can no longer find this product or what it was specifically called.  I am quite certain its not the blue cart (Trojan brand) that manually clamps down on the materials.  Did I dream this up or did anyone else recall seeing this?

That almost sounds like something Sumner would make.

Are you referring to this: http://www.amazon.com/Telpro-112TROLL-Deluxe-Panel-Handler/dp/B0009H59VY/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1321995319&sr=1-2-catcorr ?

I wasn't thinking along those lines, Dan... There's another Troll that's considerably less.

Actually the one I recall seeing is more along these lines:

The difference was the color as well as the clamping mechanism, which was activated by the material weight.

I have both. The troll I linked to is better.

Jeff,

I'm not familiar with tha one. One issue I see is how you would use to move sideways. The Trolls have handles which let you move the panel laterally and lift it up one or two stairs. I use that handle almost every time I use one of my Trolls. Here's a video of the 112 model.

Regards,

Dan.

Pretty slick Dan.

Yeah, I gotta say, that after seeing that video I am pretty much sold on getting the 112 model.  Looks like it will do exactly what I need and save my back in the process.  Thanks for the quick input.
