Abstract
A device for moving a building module along the ground, the device includes: a first frame member and a second frame member, spaced apart from the first frame member. The device also includes a first wheel assembly having at least one first wheel, the first wheel assembly being operatively coupled to the first frame member, and a second wheel assembly includes at least one second wheel, the second wheel assembly being spaced apart from the first wheel assembly and operatively coupled to the second frame member. The device further includes at least one cross-member having a first end removably secured to the first frame member and a second end removably secured to the second frame member.
Claims20
A device for moving a building module along a ground surface, the device comprising:
- (a) a frame mounted on a drive assembly for allowing the device to move along the ground;
- (b) a lifting assembly mounted to the frame, the lifting assembly being operable to move between a lower position and a raised position;
- and
- (c) a support beam assembly mounted on the lifting assembly, the support beam assembly configured to engage the building module;
- (d) wherein when the lifting assembly moves from the lower position to the raised position, it urges the support beam assembly to move upwardly;
- (e) wherein when the lifting assembly moves from the raised position to the lower position, it urges the support beam assembly to move downwardly;
- and
- (f) a turning table assembly mounted between the frame and the support beam assembly, the turning table assembly allowing the support beam assembly to rotate relative to the frame about a vertical axis.
A device for moving a building module along a ground surface, the device comprising:
- (a) a frame mounted on a drive assembly for allowing the device to move along the ground;
- (b) a lifting assembly mounted to the frame, the lifting assembly being operable to move between a lower position and a raised position;
- (c) a support beam assembly mounted on the lifting assembly, the support beam assembly configured to engage the building module;
- (d) wherein when the lifting assembly moves from the lower position to the raised position, it urges the support beam assembly to move upwardly;
- (e) wherein when the lifting assembly moves from the raised position to the lower position, it urges the support beam assembly to move downwardly;
- and
- (f) wherein the support beam assembly comprises a central loading portion mounted on the lift assembly and at least one side portion, the at least one side portion being movable between a retracted position and an extended position to adjust a length of the support beam assembly.
