Claim:
An apparatus for transporting heavy panels, said apparatus comprising: an elongated horizontal bar supporting a heavy panel placed horizontally lengthwise upon said elongated horizontal bar; a vertical bar against which a side of the heavy panel is rested to provide lateral support, said vertical bar extending normal and radially upward from a substantially midpoint of said elongated horizontal bar to a distal end that is generally above a width of said heavy panel placed upon said elongated horizontal bar; a fork having an inverted U-shaped configuration, said fork having a U-shaped section and a first leg and a second leg; and a wheel mounted on an axle, said axle being attached to extend from the first leg directly to said wheel and directly to said second leg of said fork so that said wheel is centrally disposed between said first leg and said second leg and said wheel is rotatable both in a forward direction and a backward direction, wherein said elongated horizontal bar is a length that is at least a diameter of said wheel, wherein said elongated horizontal bar is adjacent to and substantially disposed over the U-shaped section of said fork, and wherein said wheel has an outermost circumference that lies in a vertical plane, said vertical plane extending upwardly through a substantial midpoint of a width of said elongated horizontal bar.
