Abstract: A tarpaulin dolly has a first base plate with a plurality of wheel assemblies attached to its underside surface. A flexible tarpaulin sheet is secured between an upper facing surface of the first base plate and a second base plate disposed above the sheet so as to provide a captured portion and a larger excess portion of the sheet. A method of moving material, article, or debris using the tarpaulin dolly which is particularly useful in removing used roofing shingles from a pitched roof, includes the steps of providing the tarpaulin dolly to a location, placing material, article, or debris upon the excess portion of the tarpaulin sheet or the second base plate, and moving the tarpaulin dolly.

Abstract: A tarpaulin dolly has a first base plate having an upper facing surface and an underside surface, a plurality of wheel assemblies attached to the underside surface of the first base plate, a tarpaulin sheet disposed upon an upper facing surface of the first base plate, a second base plate disposed above the tarpaulin sheet, and structure for securing the first and second base plates together and securing the tarpaulin sheet therebetween. The first and second base plates and the tarpaulin sheet have vertically aligned holes to accommodate a nut and bolt securement of the same, and the wheel assemblies, to each other. A method of moving material, article, or debris using the tarpaulin dolly which is particularly useful in removing used roofing shingles from a pitched roof, includes the steps of providing the tarpaulin dolly to a location, placing material, article, or debris upon the tarpaulin sheet or the second base plate, and moving the tarpaulin dolly.
