Product Information

Full details

The Gorilla Gripper 44011 Panel Carrier is designed for contractors, DIYers, and anyone who needs to move large, heavy sheet materials like doors, countertops, or slabs of stone. Its primary benefit is significantly reducing the strain and risk of injury associated with carrying such items, while also preventing damage to the material itself. A potential caveat is its specific gripping thickness range, which may not suit extremely thin or thick materials. This tool features a top-grip design for leverage and visibility, non-marring pads, a comfortable handle, and a robust load rating.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the Gorilla Gripper can hold?

The Gorilla Gripper 44011 has a load rating of 200 lbs.

What materials can the Gorilla Gripper carry?

It is designed for flat, rigid materials such as solid core doors, countertops, wood tabletops, and slabs of marble or granite, with thicknesses between 1-1/4 and 2 inches.

Will the Gorilla Gripper damage my materials?

No, the carrier features non-marring rubberized pads specifically designed to provide a secure grip without scratching or damaging the surface of the materials.

How do I clean the Gorilla Gripper?

Wipe the carrier with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the rubberized pads.

Is the Gorilla Gripper suitable for very thin materials?

No, the carrier is designed for materials between 1-1/4 inches and 2 inches thick. It will not securely grip materials outside this range.

What is the warranty on the Gorilla Gripper?

The product comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Can one person operate the Gorilla Gripper alone?

Yes, the ergonomic design and top-grip leverage are intended to allow a single user to safely maneuver many heavy panels, though assistance may be beneficial for extremely large or awkward items.

Troubleshooting

Grip is not secure on material.

Ensure the material thickness is within the 1-1/4 to 2-inch range. Verify the rubberized pads are clean and free from debris. Make sure the handle is fully engaged to maximize grip pressure.

Handle is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions or debris in the grip mechanism. Wipe down the moving parts. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Carrier seems unstable when carrying very large panels.

For extremely large or unwieldy panels, consider using two Gorilla Grippers, one at each end, to provide better stability and control. Ensure the weight distribution is even.

Rubber pads show signs of wear.

Contact Landon Innovations customer support for information on replacement pads. Regular inspection is recommended.
