FAQs

What is the maximum weight each carrier can hold?

Each Roughneck Plasterboard Wood Panel Carrier has a maximum load capacity of 80Kg (176lb).

Are these carriers sold individually or as a pair?

This product is a twin pack, meaning it includes two carriers.

What types of materials can these carriers be used with?

They are ideal for plasterboards, wood panels, MDF, plywood, and other similar flat, rigid sheet materials.

Do I need any tools to use these carriers?

No, these carriers require no assembly and are ready to use immediately.

How do these carriers help prevent back injury?

They allow you to carry panels more upright, with better leverage and weight distribution through your arms and legs, reducing the strain on your lower back.

Can I use these for carrying doors or other heavy objects?

While they might work for some doors, they are primarily designed for panel materials with a suitable edge for the grip. Always check the weight and shape of the object against the carrier's capabilities.

How should I clean and store the carriers?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry location away from direct sunlight. Inspect regularly for damage.

Troubleshooting

Carrier slips off panel

Ensure the panel edge is clean and dry. Position the carrier's grip firmly against the thickest part of the panel edge. For very thin or flexible materials, this carrier may not be suitable.

Difficulty getting a firm grip

Check that the carrier is not damaged. Ensure you are gripping the handle with sufficient force. Try adjusting the angle of the carrier against the panel.

Uneven weight distribution when using two carriers

Ensure both carriers are attached at similar points on the panel and that the load is balanced. If two people are carrying, they should coordinate their movements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These carriers require no assembly. They are ready to use out of the box.

Compatibility: The Roughneck Plasterboard Wood Panel Carrier is designed primarily for flat, rigid panel materials such as plasterboard, MDF, plywood, and similar sheet goods. Ensure the material has sufficient rigidity to be supported by the carrier's grip.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the carriers with a damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are not stored in a way that could cause damage to the grip or handles.
