The unit lowered onto the trailer bed. The jacks have an elongated support arm for insertion into an opening in the perimeter frame of the building. The perimeter frame has vertical support columns therein, so that the force from the jack in lifting the building is spread in the perimeter frame and directed into the vertical columns.
