Move awkward sheet materials with more control.

The HighestForge Panel Grip Pro is a general-purpose top-gripping carrier for large, cumbersome sheet goods. Its self-adjusting gripping plates use the weight of the panel to increase clamping force, helping you lift and position common building materials with a clear view of where you are going.

Built for the materials you move every day

From thin sheet material to standard 3/4-inch panels, the Panel Grip Pro is designed for a broad working range. It grips from the top edge, so you can keep the panel beside you rather than wrapping your arms around it.

Wide gripping range: 0 to approximately 22 mm, slightly over 3/4 in.
Rated capacity: up to 200 lb when used correctly.
Self-adjusting grip: pivoting plates stay aligned with the material surface.
Non-marring contact: rubberized gripping pads help protect finished surfaces.
Cushioned handle: designed for a more comfortable, controlled hold.
Top-edge carrying position: helps preserve forward visibility while moving large panels.

Why HighestForge

HighestForge is built around practical tools that earn their place on the job. The Panel Grip Pro focuses on one task and does it well: giving you a secure point of control on sheet goods that are difficult to carry by hand alone.

How the grip works

Place the gripping plates over the top edge of the panel and lift through the handle. As the material loads the tool, the handle acts as a lever and increases clamping pressure. The pivoting plates automatically adapt to the thickness of the material while remaining parallel to the surfaces being gripped.

Made for sheet goods

Suitable for many commonly handled flat materials within the rated thickness range, including:

3/4 in. plywood
1/4 in. plywood
Drywall and gypsum board
Thin sheet metal
Thin plastic sheet
Other rigid sheet materials within the tool's gripping range and load rating

How to use

Confirm the panel is within the tool's thickness range and rated capacity.
Inspect the tool and gripping pads before use.
Place the gripping plates fully over the top edge of the material.
Lift smoothly through the cushioned handle and allow the mechanism to clamp under load.
Keep the panel controlled and close to your body while moving.
Lower the material completely before releasing the grip.

Care

Keep the gripping pads clean and free from dust, oil, adhesive, and debris. Inspect moving parts and grip surfaces regularly. Store the tool dry and do not use it if any component is damaged, excessively worn, or unable to move freely.

Safety

This tool is intended to assist with handling sheet materials, not to eliminate lifting risk. Do not exceed the rated load capacity. Make sure the material is sound, stable, and suitable for gripping. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe lifting practices. For large or heavy panels, use additional help when necessary.
