Abstract:
A sheet transport device and method of formation are disclosed. The device may be used to carry and fully support a load, such as one or more sheets of drywall, plywood, or similar materials. The load is supported by a sheet channel coupled to a wheeled axle. One or more braces may be coupled to the sheet channel to form a substantially flat frame, which may or may not also include a handle. The combined weight of the load and the sheet transport device acting on a point of contact between the wheel and a support surface is opposed by an upward force on the wheel creates a torque, causing the handle and/or the frame to rotate against the load, stabilizing the load. A user can easily push and steer the device by grasping and stabilizing the load with one hand.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of using a sheet transport device comprising steps:\n placing a load on a sheet channel of a sheet transport device, wherein a combined weight of the load and the sheet transport device offset from a wheel mounted on an axle of the sheet transport device, causing a first torque about the contact point; and opposing the first torque about the contact point by applying an operator force to the load to generate a second torque having substantially a same magnitude as the first torque, wherein the loaded sheet transport device is balanced on the wheel and the first torque and the second torque are in equilibrium.
