A scissors-like lifting mechanism is connected to the horizontal base and has an upper end movable between a raised position at a distance above the horizontal base and a collapsed position near the horizontal base. A force-applying actuator is connected to the horizontal base and to the scissors-like lifting mechanism for actuating the scissors-like lifting mechanism. A wheel tray is connected to the upper end of the scissors-like lifting mechanism for up and down movement thereof between the raised position and the collapsed position. The wheel tray has spaced-apart front portion and entry portion, a bottom surface and a bumper on the front portion.
