  • Patent number: 10214227
    Abstract: A foot lever assist mechanism permits transport dollies to be more heavily loaded, saving the worker additional trips to deliver the entire supply. The lever assist may be configured to move from dolly to dolly, being secured by a pair of thumb screws or welded in place, secured to the axle. An auxiliary feature of this lever assist is the provision of a telescoping ladder-like extender and an extra long base which maximizes the advantage this foot lever assist mechanism provides.
