device for lifting mdf or plywood

[myxpykalix]

I read craigslist for several things but also the tools section and saw this and knew there had been discussions on how to lift heavy material and thought this might be a good idea for something you could use or make on your bot to help in lifting material.

Ummmmm, looks like you might need another lifting device to lift the lifting device:D. By the way, are Craig and Angie related? Perhaps if they were married they would have a child named "naughty".... Just curious.........

Jack,
That looks like a pallet puller that you use to slide a pallet to the back of a truck.

I used this at my last shop but I upgraded to this.

Saw a commercial for a device, the girl packing the plywood is my choice..
Can't find the video..grrrr

Dan, sounds like the Gorilla Gripper - http://youtu.be/CRmCpP9tiek

I've got one and I swear by it. I carry sheets of 18mm MDF (much heavier than plywood) around with it one handed no problems at all.

TOO Funny! Gotta get me one of those... the gripper not the outfit. :D

I just ordered one (without either of the operators in the video). Over the next few months I'll be handling about 60 sheets of 3/4" ply. I'll take any help I can get.
