Abstract: A dolly consists of a generally planar platform having opposed front and rear ends and lateral sides. The wheels are configured to contact a surface so as to support the platform above the surface when the platform is placed on the surface. The platform is relatively low to the ground, and enables one operator to arrange and transport heavy loads with the dolly.

Abstract: A lifter of furniture and other loads has a wheel-mounted base comprising a plurality of radially extending beams and a transversely mounted, planar support structure. One of the beams lies within the plane defined by the support structure. The support structure has a bracket extending transversely away from the floor surface and adapted to accept a telescoping support in a sliding fit. The telescoping support lies in the plane of the support structure and is adapted to engage a bottom surface of a furniture load and urge it vertically upward relative to the floor surface. The telescoping support and/or the bracket have at least one transverse bore therewithin to accept a cotter pin therethrough as a locking mechanism. The telescoping support is urged upward by a jack mechanism which may be removable for use with other lifters once the telescoping support is locked into position relative to the bracket.

Abstract: A wall partition lifter has a vertically extending support beam, a sleeve that is freely slidable therearound and has a ledge extending transversely outwardly from one side. An engagement protuberance extends transversely outwardly from a second side. The engagement protuberance engages and vertically supports the wall partition and may comprise a series of hooks adapted to engage complementary slots in the wall partition, and/or a foot plate for supporting a bottom surface of the wall partition. The support beam has a base with a lip that extends beyond one side thereof. An extension actuator such as a jack may be positioned on the lip and engage the underside of the ledge such that when the jack is extended, the sleeve extends vertically, elevating the wall partition. A plurality of bores in the support beam provide a locking mechanism together with a cotter pin to prevent the sleeve from descending beyond a desired elevation, even when the jack is retracted and/or removed.

Abstract: A dolly consists of a generally planar platform having opposed front and rear ends, lateral sides, an upper face and a lower face. The wheels are configured to contact a surface so as to support the platform above the surface when the platform is placed on the surface. The dolly can have a reversible mode or a single platform mode. The platform is relatively low to the ground, and enables one operator to arrange and transport heavy loads with the dolly.
