An apparatus for carrying construction panels in front and side carry configurations. The apparatus comprising a dolly frame, wheels, a dolly raise assembly so as to permit movement of a car and a load carriage along the dolly frame, a pivot mount hingedly mounted to the car and a load support, wherein the load support is pivotable relative to the pivot mount about a pivot axis between a front carry position and a side carry position. In another embodiment, an apparatus comprising a dolly raise assembly for controlled movement of a load carriage along the longitudinal extent of a dolly frame, and a panel lift fixable to the load carriage for lifting and orienting construction panels for attachment to a wall or ceiling. The panel lift having a lift frame with a panel carriage track, a panel carriage for supporting the panel, and a panel carriage raise assembly for controlled movement of the panel carriage along the panel carriage track.

A reloading supply system includes a loading cart (100) and a machine (200). The loading cart has a first material tray (120) that includes a first combed surface (122) configured to retain a supply material in the first material tray. The machine has a second material tray (220) that includes a second combed surface (222) configured to retain the supply material in the second material tray after the supply material is transferred from the first material tray of the loading cart to the second material tray of the machine. Teeth (124) of the first combed surface are configured to pass by teeth (224) of the second combed surface. The first combed surface and the second combed surface are configured such that the supply material in the first material tray is transferred to the second material tray as the teeth of the first combed surface pass by the teeth of the second combed surface.

A torch cart includes a base for supporting first and second storage tanks, a wall provided between the tanks for separating the tanks, a container for housing a torch, a pair of holsters for holding a pair of fire extinguishers, and a hands-free striker mounted to the cart for igniting the torch. The hands-free striker has a tip and a friction pad for passing a torch tip over and igniting the torch.

A hand truck utilizes a pair of permanent magnet unit to secure two metallic cylindrical objects to the hand truck. Each permanent magnet unit has a forward-facing clamping surface for engaging a side of a metallic cylindrical object. Each permanent magnet provides a selective magnetic field sufficient to secure the metallic cylindrical object to the forward-facing clamping surface of the permanent magnet. The pair of permanent magnet units may be simultaneously actuated by operation of a single actuation handle. The hand truck may be equipped with a pair of cylinder safety mechanisms by which an operator may selectively engage a safety plate beneath each of the metallic cylindrical objects. Each safety plate is independently rotatable by the operator thereby allowing each metallic cylindrical object to be separately released from the hand truck.
