Abstract:
A load transporting dolly includes a frame having a flange on a lower end thereof to be positioned above an upstanding wall of a tray containing a load and a foot positioned in spaced relation with the flange for engaging the load when the flange is placed above the side wall. Spaced, parallel legs joined to opposing lateral ends of the flange extend upwardly therefrom, and arms for positioning and holding the load upon the frame are mounted, respectively, on the legs for selective rotation around a first axis and selective sliding movement along the first axis to extend along lateral sides of the load perpendicular with the foot. The arms are rotatable around a second axis perpendicular with the first axis and are slidable along the second axis to selectively position gripping fingers in the arms and planes containing the arms to permit the gripping fingers to be placed in a clearance adjacent lateral sides of the load and positioned to extend along a back of the load. Wheels mounted on the frame support the frame on the ground or floor, and a handle on an upper end of the frame allows the frame to be rotated around the wheels to lift the load from the tray and support the load against the frame while the arms position and stabilize the load. A frame support is rotatably mounted on the frame for selectively supporting the frame and, therefore, the load in a selective angular position with the ground or floor.
