Drywall lifting tool
Currently, a drywaller on the ground physically lifts a 100+ pound sheet of drywall, plywood or other heavy materials upwards as much as 20 feet to the person on the scaffold, who then has to lift and/or pull the materials up onto the scaffold. Both people must use their arms, knees, shoulders and back to lift the heavy material, and the worker on the scaffold sometimes uses his foot to slide the material up onto the scaffold. The PB-DSR helps eliminate this unsafe lifting procedure by providing a rolling mechanism to roll the sheet of material instead of lifting it. This takes most of the weight of the heavy material off the workers, making it safer and easier, and possibly reducing arm, shoulder, back and foot injuries from manually lifting the heavy sheet of drywall. It is an inexpensive way for drywall and construction companies to more likely than not reduce the number of workplace injuries and worker's compensation claims.
