such as by welding to the underside of the beam elements 11 a fig3 as a result the support 3 which is affixed to the platform 43 of the base 5 can be pivoted with respect to the base by extension or retraction of the piston rod 65 with respect to the housing 63 by operating the telehandler 39 s hydraulic system as shown the support 3 is moveable using the hydraulic cylinder 61 from a generally horizontal position fig1 to a 45 degree slope fig9 with respect to the base the support 3 can be pivoted to substantially any angle within the range it is contemplated that the range in which the support 3 can be pivoted with respect to the frame 41 of the base 5 can be larger or smaller than the illustrated configuration using the controls for the telehandler 39 s hydraulic system a telehandler operator can selectively tilt the support 3 about the tilt axis ta to place the roofing panels in a desired slope along their lengths thus roofing panels supported by the support can be positioned and maintained at slope about equal to the pitch of the roof fig1 in operation the material handler 1 can be used to sheath a pitched roof on a structure using elongate panels of sheet material having a.
