Q:What is the maximum weight (in pounds) that this panel-carry tool can handle?

Answer This Question
A: I have carried 2 - 4' x 8' sheets of 5/8" plywood; however, mostly I just carry 1 sheet at a time.
So, whatever that weight is.
I have probably moved 40 - 50 sheets of plywood with it. That's for multiple projects, over a year's time.

A: I can't say for sure but I can give examples of what I've used it for which is a ¾" 4' x 8' sheet of plywood and a ⅝" sheet of 4' x 12" drywall. It didnt show any sign of flexing on either. I just wish I could find mine when I need it

Q:What was the accompanying video even for? Was the product even in there at all?

Answer This Question
A: I understand your question. Nowadays it often happens that manufacturers make "brand" videos that talk about the company name while completely ignoring any salient facts about the item itself. I find this annoying. Whenever I see that type of brand video, I exercise the chance to vote it down or "un-helpful" whenever possible.
The entire point of providing information is to help customers make good choices. "Branding" only makes unreasonable emotional attachment to brand names. And in today's world of mega-conglomerates, where almost all great tool brand-names were purchased, then had their reputations ruined by cheap overseas labor, branding is even more useless. So, although I don't know the exact video you saw, it is very likely you saw one that made no mention of this product, but only talked about the NAME.
If you want your question to have some positive benefit, I suggest you write a quick email to company headquarters, addressed to the marketing department. If enough consumers tell companies we do not appreciate these branding videos, then they will start to pay attention.

Q:2 part question, first how do these work going down stairs and what is the load limit on these?
by|Apr 3, 2020

Answer This Question
A: These can easily support the weight of TWO 4 x 8 sheets of drywall, although I would not recommend that if you're working alone.
These are not ideal for carrying heavy double panels up or down stairs SOLO though unless you are quite strong and coordinated. A strong limber young man could manage it, but it would be unnecessarily awkward. The whole idea of these carriers is to REDUCE strain and INCREASE safety.
If you have a good helper , then YES, TWO of these are fine for moving heavy sheet materials up or down stairs.
It's best to use these for transporting from a vehicle to a workstation, then cut down panels into more manageable sizes before turning sharp interior corners or negotiating stairs.
Any time we must carry full sheets up or down stairs, it's always safer and more efficient to have another person. ...Or separate paired double-sheets into single sheets, ...or slide sheets on glides of some slippery material... cardboard, carpet, plastic bags, etc.
I have seen flooring contractors use these to carry those 5' x 5' thin sheets of thin plywood sub-flooring. They work very well for multiple sheets of that.
I hope that answers BOTH of your questions.
My personal experience with these is they are VERY handy to always have on hand. Since they are so inexpensive and durable, they save me the time and trouble of making panels carriers. Plus they are easy to SEE with the bright orange color. That's why I have several: one for the garage, one for the shop and another to "lend" or take with me to other sites.
I hope that fully answers BOTH of your questions and gives a clear picture of their utility and value.
Stay safe! ;-)

A: You go up and down as if it is a ladder and the load limit is 250 lbs. Works great. Only quirk was the strength to pull the ladder down to use. I don't have the strength I used to have. I solved this by tying a rope to the top step to gain additional leverage. Much better than the usual access door in the hallway that requires a ladder and neater than the garage access steps.

A: They work great for going down stairs and it will handle any weight you can handle.

A: I've not tried carrying anything downstairs with this, but it depends on your ability to get up and downstairs and the room that exists. If you can carry sheet goods with this you might be able to do so. I can only carry one piece of dry wall or plywood sheet at a time with this.

Works great, I am 5'7 this allows me to carry large panels without having to bend all the way down. I used this with a 3/4" 4 'x8 ' sheet of plywood. I had the board vertical but placed it horizontally in the car. With the panel carry I was able to still maintain a hold on it when I changed the orientation. I like the fact that you can keep it on the carry when you place it down, so that it does not touch the ground

I had 3 guys who met me out at the house and helped me carry in 230 sheets of drywall, 200 12ft sheets, and 30 8ft sheets. I had ran to Home Depot and got 3 of these Panel Carry tools to help us with the task and boy did they! I honestly am not sure how how we would have done it without them. We were able to rotate between the 3 of us, we found it easiest to have 3 of us on a 12ft sheet, one on each end and one in the middle, carrying the two connected sheets of 12ft drywall at a time. With 1 person you can move the 12 ft sheets, but you have to do 1 at a time but this panel carry does make that manageable and possible. We successfully moved all the drywall into the different rooms of the house and about half-way into the job I had some reinforcement friends come in to help lift them up to the loft for 2nd floor rooms. As a thank you I took the guys out to Sushi, and giving them a panel carry tool to take home with them, haha. :)

Good for solo carrying and stairs
This carrier was nice for situations when I had to carry a sheet of drywall or plywood:
* by myself
* down stairs with another person (I could lower the drywall without bending over so far to get it under the soffit at the bottom of the stairs)

better moving big panels.

Thought it was a gimmick, but it’s not!
I had seen this for a long time but thought it was a gimmick. I had to move 40 sheets of 1/2” OSB and tweaked my elbow after the first one. So I bought this and was able to move all of them with no problems (except getting tired). Even my tweaked elbow didn’t hurt because my arm was oriented normally as if I were walking down the street rather than twisted in order to hold the panel.

This device was like having a helper to move some wood flooring and other panels needed for my shed. A real back saver that really works.

It works great. Being plastice, I'm not sure how long it will last, but it lets me move sheets of material that would be difficult or impossible to handle by myself (easily that is.)
