A combination of a panel and a panel handling system for use in moving the panel around a site is provided. The panel comprises a preassembled wall panel having a base portion, opposing end portions and a top portion, the top portion including at least one further fixing part. The handling system comprises a first and second end plate, each of which includes at least one fixing part which co-operates with a respective first and second end portion of the wall panel to secure the end plates to the panel, and further includes first and second movers. Each mover comprises an end plate fixing part which includes means for fixing each mover to a respective one of the first and second end plates and a support part which supports the fixing part above the ground and is in turn supported above the ground by at least one ground engaging wheel or roller. The end plates and movers are so arranged that with the end plates fixed to the ends of the panels and the movers fixed to the end plates the system supports the panel wholly above the ground permitting it to be moved around a site in a direction parallel to the length of the panel. The end plates can be removed from the end plates so that the end plates support the panel clear of the ground.
