Abstract: An apparatus for protectively mounting an object including a support member that can be positioned under an object while the object rests on the ground or other given plane. A resilient shock absorbing member, that has a first portion resting against the ground and second portion, isolated from shock and vibration with respect to the first portion, is connected to the ends of the support member. A screw-type elevating device serves both to join the support member to the isolated portion of the shock absorbing member and to adjustably elevate the support member with respect to the grounded first portion. As the support member raises, it first contacts the object and, thereafter, lifts the object off the ground plane leaving the object protectively mounted.
