<p>A mobile support device in the form of a workman's trolley for use in manhandling and transporting autoclaved aerated 5 concrete building panels which has a mainframe support section forming a planar surface upon which the panel is located. The trolley is provided with an inboard wheel assembly about which the mainframe can be pivoted or tilted to adopt a forwardly directed inclined orientation 10 to assist loading of the panel onto the trolley, and a rearwardly directed oppositely inclined orientation to assist unloading of the panel from the trolley. The trolley is also provided with a selectively movable support arm selectively movable between a downwardly 15 depending support position for supporting the mainframe to convert the trolley into a workbench for performing work operations on the panel, and a folded clearance position in which the arm is folded either partially or wholly in alignment with, and underneath the mainframe to enable the 20 trolley to be wheeled to transport the panel from one location to another location using a handle extending from the mainframe. The advantage of the trolley is that installation of the panels can now be accomplished by one workman working singlehandedly without assistance from 25 others. 5585087.1 (GHMallers) P93889 AU.1 sifi x/e/f If/ r~ m / c</p> |
