Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a skate device for transporting unwieldly, large flat objects with ease. The device comprises an elongated base member containing a pair of brackets at each end and a clamping bracket member at its midsection. Rollers are provided on the bottom of the base member and are all in line. The end rollers are mounted slightly above the midsection roller to enable the skate to be tipped backward or forward on the end rollers for maneuverability. The skate is clamped to an edge of the flat object for transporting.
