Moving heavy load
Discussion
I'm having a delivery of 12 sheets of 2.4x1.2m plasterboard.
The problem is, the delivery vehicle can't get close to my property due to a narrow bend + tree overhang.
So if the driver dumps the load on the shared road/drive I have had to carry them individually about 100 metres previously. This time I wondered if the palletted sheets could be lowered onto this dolly and trundled most of the way?

I estimate the sheets weigh about 300kg in total.
Would it work, or the other thought was to tie a rope to the pallet and just drag it closer with my car

Thanks for all the suggestions........I think.
Well I "manned up" as many of you thought I should, I'm pushing 60 by the way, and got a Roughneck board carrier.
So, I walked roughly 2 miles, half off which while carrying an extra 25kgs - about a third of my body weight.
I'm still alive, although I think I have one arm longer than the other now - which might come in useful in picking the drywall screws off the floor without bending down.
