A construction panel positioning tool includes a ramp member having a support platform to support a panel edge, and a downwardly inclined ramp section configured to slidingly engage and guide a panel edge placed thereon toward the support platform. A stabilizing member coupled to the ramp member engages a structural building component to support the ramp member in position. A construction panel support tool includes a suspension frame having guides that slidably engage a ceiling joist, and a support member cantilevered thereto, which has a top surface spaced from the bottom of a ceiling joist to provide clearance for a construction panel. A system includes one or more of each tool. The positioning tool(s) is/are installed to position and support a first panel edge. The opposite panel edge is then lifted against the ceiling and then supported by the support member of a support tool that is moved into place.
A construction panel positioning tool to position and support at least one edge of a construction panel relative to a panel installation site, the positioning tool comprising:
A construction panel support tool to temporarily support a construction panel relative to a panel installation site, the support tool comprising:
The panel support tool of claim 15, wherein the top and bottom guide members are adjustably coupled to allow adjustment of the distance therebetween to thereby accommodate ceiling joists of different heights.
A construction panel support system to position and temporarily support a construction panel relative to a panel installation site, the panel support system comprising:
