The invention relates to a device for transporting large-format building boards, including a cart provided with wheels for the movement thereof and a transporter with suction cups for securing the large-format board to be transported. The cart comprises at the top removable coupling means of a modular transporter carrying suction cups on at least one of the ends thereof, front and rear, an extendable extension is provided with fastening means for fastening the cart in an essentially protruding position forming a support on the floor during the unloading of the device towards the end carrying said extension.

A method of facilitating production of a structure at a construction site, the method including the steps of: a) obtaining a mobile apparatus having: a frame; first and second wheels and a steerable third wheel spaced in a fore and aft direction from the first and second wheels and laterally between the first and second wheels; and a platform on the frame defining a first upwardly facing surface that is spaced at least 20″ above the subjacent surface; b) placing at least one building component in a transporting position on the first upwardly facing surface; c) advancing the mobile apparatus from the first location to a second location at or adjacent the construction site; and d) separating the at least one building component from the transporting position at the second location.

A wheeled shipping/transport cart includes a cart frame that supports a plurality of wheels. The cart frame supports a plurality of stackable trays. The trays include a tray frame with opposed end members, a plurality of longitudinal support members disposed between the opposed end members, and a plurality of upright members nesting with upright members of an adjacent tray. A support structure is disposed between the opposed end members to form an arc corresponding to a curved surface of an article to be supported by the support structure. A pin is received through each of the upright members of the plurality of stackable trays to retain the stackable trays in a stacked configuration.

A tile laying device has a main frame supported on wheels for rolling movement along a ground surface. A pendulum frame is supported on the main frame to be freely suspended from the main frame while being adjustable in height relative to the ground surface by tilting the main frame about the axis of the wheels. Suction cups on the pendulum frame allow a tile to be coupled to the tiles using vacuum pressure from a vacuum pump on the main frame. The suction cups can be shifted laterally in a direction of the pendulum axis relative to the main frame to assist in aligning a tile on the pendulum frame with a desired placement location for the tile.

An extendable strut assembly comprises a nested series of square or rectangular beams, the centermost of which may be a solid bar and all others are hollow sections. Glide strips of predetermined thicknesses take up the clearances between the beams and can be affixed to the beams by adhesive, so that beam surfaces run smoothly on the glide strips and the strut assembly can be extended and retracted with ease.

A rolling cart has a wheeled frame, telescoping vertically extendable members with glide strips, and a tiltable frame having glide strips interspersed with transfer balls to easily slide slabs or sheet materials for construction such as when installing countertops. The tiltable frame includes retractable lifter feet which support a slab in transit but drop below the level of the slab automatically when the tiltable frame is tilted to horizontal.

The firewood storage bin may store firewood for use in a fireplace or a wood burning stove. The firewood storage bin may capture wood chips, bark, dirt or other debris falling from the firewood in a removable tray located beneath the bin and may thereby keep a floor beneath the firewood storage bin clean. The firewood storage bin may be moveable by pushing the firewood storage bin over the floor on the plurality of wheels. The firewood storage bin may have a tool holder accessible at the top of one side for holding tools and may have one or more storage areas on the opposite side for storing accessories.
