  • Patent number: 9365226
    Abstract: Aspects of a transport dolly for repositioning a drive unit are described. In one embodiment, the transport dolly includes a base frame, an elevated handgrip bar, and a wheel lock assembly that locks at least one jack wheel of the drive unit into an engaged position for manual displacement of the drive unit using the elevated handgrip bar. The transport dolly may be relied upon to assist an individual with manual movement of the drive unit, by engaging and locking one or more jack wheels of the drive unit into a position which lifts the drive unit off the drive wheels of the drive unit. Once the jack wheels are engaged and locked in position, the drive unit may be more easily repositioned manually.
