Claims5
An apparatus for moving a merchandise gondola, said gondola having at least one horizontal base support for contacting a floor surface, said apparatus comprising:
- a first elevation means, said first elevation means having a jack assembly mounted on at least one wheel;
- a second elevation means, said second elevation means having a jack assembly mounted on at least one wheel;
- and
- an elongated base support connection for connecting with said base support, said base support connection having a first end opposite a second end, said first end able to releasably connect with said first elevation means, said second end able to releasably connect with said second elevation means;
- wherein, said jack assemblies able to raise said attached elongated base support connection first and second ends thereby lifting said horizontal base support and thereby lifting said gondola.
An apparatus for moving a merchandise gondola, said gondola having at least one horizontal base support for contacting a floor surface, said apparatus comprising:
- a first elevation means, said first elevation means having a jack assembly mounted on at least one wheel;
- a second elevation means, said second elevation means having a jack assembly mounted on at least one wheel;
