Abstract: A portable cart for transporting highly sensitive equipment such as an excimer laser is disclosed. The portable cart includes a first frame support including spaced feet for supporting the equipment on a floor surface. A second frame support includes rollers for rolling movement of the equipment. The first frame support is vertically movable relative to the second frame support. Expandable/retractable shock absorbing element are positioned between the first and second frame supports. The shock absorbing elements when expanded lift the first frame support including the spaced feet above a floor surface while rollers of the second frame support to engage a floor surface for rolling shock absorbing movement of the equipment. The expandable/retractable shock absorbing elements when retracted lower the first frame support to cause the spaced feet to engage a floor surface for fixed support of the highly sensitive equipment on a floor surface.

Abstract: A mobile laser surgical center includes a truck body in which the surgical center is housed and a truck cab which transports the surgical center from one location to another. The surgical center includes a laser, a control for the laser and a patient seat. The truck body includes a floor, side walls, and a top. The laser is secured to the floor such that substantially no realignment of the laser is needed when the center is transported between locations. The truck body is also stabilized so that the truck body floor will be maintained in a level condition during a surgical procedure.
