Abstract:
1. A transport device, for the performance of a method for the manual transport of objects/goods, which objects comprise a flat-shaped part arranged on top of legs or supports, which part during use extends horizontally, wherein the transport of said objects takes place by means of said transport device comprising: a platform, which at its bottom side is provided with at least three non-steering wheels arranged to enable movement/transport of the transport device together with the platform in a horizontal position, and which platform at its upper side is provided with at least one first support and at least one second support, which together comprise at least three supports, arranged to support an object at movement/transport, wherein said at least one second support is adjustably attached arranged to enable adaption to the size of the object by means of a coupling/lock, whereby the transport device may be mounted to the object before the movement of the object, in, and in that a pair of said wheels is arranged to act as pivot points, and wherein the method comprises: turning said object so that its normally horizontal flat shaped part is positioned in a vertical position on the upper side of the platform before the movement/transport, wherein before the turning of the object is commenced said supports are adapted in the same way so that the platform may be arranged vertically relatively the object by arranging at least one of the supports on the upper side of the object, at least one of the second supports at the bottom side of the object and to bring a support plate arranged on the upper side of the platform to abutment against the object, which support plate has its upper surface at a level above the upper surface of the platform and thereafter turn said object 90° and in connection therewith use a pair of said wheels that will touch the ground first as pivot points, wherein the platform resumes the horizontal position with said object loaded and supported on the support plate, wherein the support plate is arranged on the upper side of the platform to abut against the object, which support plate has its upper surface at a level above the upper surface of the platform, and wherein said support plate has a limited length (L) in relation to the length of the platform, to provide gaps between beams provided at the short sides of the platform and the edge of the support plate.
