Marshalltown Panel Lifter
The Marshalltown Panel Lifter is a heavy‑duty, pro‑grade drywall lifting tool engineered to make sheet handling, positioning, and fastening significantly easier for contractors, drywallers, and DIY installers. Its tapered front end slides smoothly under drywall, plywood, and other sheet materials, giving you the leverage needed to lift and hold panels in place for nailing or screwing—ideal for one‑person installation.
Constructed from rigid, long‑lasting steel, the Panel Lifter features a ribbed back, weighted nose, and roll‑wheel, making maneuvering large panels effortless while keeping the tool stable under pressure. A non‑slip checkered surface provides dependable foot traction, ensuring secure and controlled lifting. Its self‑righting design keeps the tool upright and ready to use at all times, improving workflow and reducing downtime during installation.
Compact yet powerful, the Panel Lifter enables precise positioning of drywall sheets, helping installers achieve tighter seams, cleaner joints, and more professional finishes. Whether you're lifting full‑size 4' x 8' boards or smaller sheet pieces, this tool boosts efficiency and reduces the risk of strain during repetitive lifting tasks.
