transport stand for tonneau off-truck

Have an older, heavier tonneau on my '03. Getting the tonneau moved out of the way and stored after I've tipped it off the truck is an issue. Anyone made a wheeled stand to vertically move it away from the truck? Lifting this by myself really mars the back edge up.
Picked up 4-wheeled wood dolly (30" wide) to mod, not sure how to back brace the tonneau in a somewhat vertical position for good weight balance.
Thanks.

I rigged up a way to simply raise it off the bed, and suspend it with ropes and hooks, in the garage.
Then I just backup underneath it and lower back down to re-attach. One-person job.

Thanks, but no garage.
I may have found a solution, I'm looking at plate glass transports for trucks.
