Here is another idea we also use to keep the lifting better. Go to Harbor Freight tools and buy a 12 X 18 Hardwood dolly. Cost is $14, but on sale often for $10. On our 40 foot dock (6 foot wide with cedar panels of 2 per section = two 6X5 panels per 10 foot section), we accumulate 135 ft (35+30+25+20 ft, etc)of lifting and traveling work to get the panels to the shore end. Using the dolly lets us just roll the sections along easily. We use it both in the spring to launch as well as fall to remove. These roll so easily. Then the lifting is just a short distance on the shore end. At 75, I need all the mechanical advantage I can garner.
