Abstract: A method and apparatus for lifting modular furniture, the apparatus includes an electronically controlled jack and a lifting bar that will engage modular furniture. The lifting apparatus can be interconnected with more than one side for the unit of modular furniture. Each lifting apparatus can be controlled by a master control unit which will cause each lifting apparatus to lift the sides so that modular furniture can be lifted as a unit and maintenance such as painting, and/or removal and replacement of flooring can be accomplished. Synchronous lifting is accomplished by comparing the rate at which each lifting apparatus raises the side and by sending a signal with the master control unit to each lifting apparatus to either stop or adjust its raising rate to insure that tilting, which can place undue stress on certain parts of the modular furniture does not occur.
