Each side member further has a recess on a lower end adapted for receiving a wheel for mobility. A plurality of rigid sections are horizontally disposed within the braces and form a platform for the mechanic and helper to stand on. A plurality of ladders urge the helper to mount one of the side braces after the wallboard is resting on a plurality of pintles against the side members. A plurality of wheels provide mobility for the system without disassembly of the system as the wallboard is installed overhead.
