Abstract

An improved apparatus and method for the transport of multiply slabs of panels including slabs of marble, granite, stone, glass, and heavy objects. At least one set of foldable A-frames hinged and secured to the base and an optional securing assembly. The base is an elongated frame comprising of at least two tunnels to provide means for fork lifting and U bars for over head lifting, cross members for support, pad plates covered by rubber wedge to stabilize cargo. The top supports, A-frames, are cushioned with appropriate resilient material.

1 . A multi-purpose foldable transport and storage apparatus for slabs, panels, and other flat sheet products, comprising: 
 A horizontal base;    One or more supports,    One or more A-frame members joined to said base, said A-frame members having hinged joined upper and lower portions and wherein one or more A-frame member is hinged allowing folding and stack ability,    an elongate receiving guide way for receiving the lower edge of a flat sheet;    said frame with a base containing side and end fork openings, overhead crane and tie down U-bars,    said invention is constructed of substantial material of sufficient size and strength to accommodate cargo.
