Abstract: A carrying device used by an individual to manually carry large panels of material in a vertical position. The carrying device includes an upper curved member that includes parallel first and second gripping members. Attached to the upper curved member is a hand grip. The upper curved member is aligned perpendicularly to the first and second gripping member and the first and second gripping members are sufficiently spaced apart so that when the upper curved member is placed over the upper horizontal edge or a vertical edge on a panel and an upper force is extended on the hand grip, the first and second gripping members rotate and bind against the panel so that the panel may be carried. An optional extension arm is provided that pivotally attaches to the handle so that the device may be used to lift panels when users are standing above and a distance from the panel.
