Abstract: A portable apparatus for moving a workload, comprising a base frame, a translation assembly, a non-telescoping mast, a tilting assembly, a lifting frame, and a hoist assembly. The translation assembly engages the base frame to facilitate movement of the base frame. The non-telescoping mast has a lower end pivotally engaging the base frame, an upper end, and a length extending between the lower end and the upper end. The tilting assembly engages the mast and the base frame to selectively adjust the incline of the mast relative to the base frame. The lifting frame operatively associated with the mast. The hoist assembly engaging the mast and the lifting frame for selectively lifting the lifting frame along at least a portion of the length of the mast.
