Abstract: An apparatus for lifting furniture in place to install floor covering underneath the furniture. The apparatus comprises a plurality lifting assemblies. Each lifting assembly includes a substantially vertical piston and cylinder assembly. A piston rod is attached to each piston. The piston rod extends from the upper end of the piston and cylinder assembly and a substantially L-shaped member is attached to the piston rod. A pressurized fluid control system is constructed and arranged to uniformly supply pressurized fluid to the lifting assemblies; whereby, the lifting assemblies act together to simultaneously lift furniture in one movement when pressurized fluid is uniformly supplied from the pressurized fluid control system to the lifting assemblies.
