Handling/Packaging/ Storage/Transportation

Tall, long and narrow objects like door units, staircases, window units, panel saws and prefabricated walls are difficult to move or load onto a truck. The Scoop Dolly makes loading or unloading these top-heavy objects a breeze. Its unique design allows just the "scoop" section to pivot instead of tilting the entire dolly. This eliminates lifting injuries by not lifting. By adjusting the support saddles forward or backwards, the center of gravity of the object is kept over the dolly base. Objects from 3 ft. to 12 ft. tall can be carried. The unique design allows the dolly to operate like a hand truck on a dolly. Unlike standard hand trucks, the object can be moved in any direction making long objects easy to move. Unlike conventional door dollies or drywall carts, the carrying section pivots instead of the entire dolly. This makes the dolly ergonomically easy to use for one person. Once loaded and tilted back, the load on the Scoop Dolly remains stable without needing to be supported by the operator. Load it and roll it or walk away!

New Wood's Powr-Grip  8-inch Hand Cup Pad Redesign

Hand-Cup Features Fast Attach and Release.

Considered by glaziers to be Wood's "Best One Yet"

If you are familiar with the profile of the Wood's Powr-Grip hand-cup, at first glance the new hand cup looks the same, but the 8-inch pad underwent a redesign that rolled out in 2023. The changes are sure to please users: When the cup is first applied firmly to a load surface, the pad establishes an initial grip onto the load, keeping the cup in place until the user finishes the vacuum attachment by pumping the plunger. While some users were able to do this with earlier versions of a standard 8-inch hand cup, the result was never a certainty because it had never been engineered into the pad design. Now, this initial grip can be achieved more consistently.
