A sheet handling device for handling large sheets of glass or other sheet
material, the device comprising a wheeled trolley having an upright
support shaft (2), a carriage movable along the shaft (2) into a selected
position, and at least two vacuum grips mounted to the carriage to engage
the sheet at positions displaced in the height direction of the sheet. In
another embodiment the carriage is movable by operation of a winch. The
trolley is normally used in conjunction with a second like trolley so
that the vacuum grips of the two trolleys engage the sheet at spaced
positions along the length of the sheet. The two trolleys are preferably
interconnected by releasable bracing which can be stored on the trolleys
for ease of transportation. In a further embodiment there is also
disclosed a glass installation guide to facilitate guidance of a large
glass sheet into a frame during installation.
