Move Panels Easily
Create an improvised panel cart with clamps and a dolly.
I am building a house and had to move a stack of 5/8-in. sheets of plywood, but I didn’t have a panel cart, telehandler, or any of the other typical back-saving tools for the job. I improvised my own by adding four 36-in. parallel- jaw clamps to a mover’s dolly to create a makeshift panel cart, and rolled them 40 ft. into the garage. It was much easier than carrying each one, and the setup works for any sheet material.

I'll have to try that one. When possible and I have to move plywood I also like to carry it flat against my back. Do a slight squat and use your hands on the sides, it works really well for me if you have the room, most all the weight is on the skeletal system.
