Building The Premier Dream Shop - Part 3

What happens here

A telehandler (Manitou MTA 6034 Series III) is used to lift stacks of plywood sheets from the ground to the upper level of the structure. Workers on the ground cut plywood panels for the gable ends, using a circular saw for long, precise angled cuts based on measurements from the gable framing. The cut panels are then moved by hand to be installed.

Goal: Utilize a telehandler to safely lift bundles of plywood sheathing to the roof level. Workers on the ground cut plywood pieces with a circular saw, making angled cuts to fit the gable roofline.
