- a central support depression member connecting said side arms;
- an axle rotatably supporting said support members said axle being attached to said frame;
- a pair of adjustable pivot arms connecting to said support members for adjusting the length of said pivot arms a selected distance of travel, wherein said pair of adjustable pivot arms are substantially normal to a lower and of said leg members through a range of motion;
- and
- means for pushing attached to said adjustable pivot arms, wherein said means for pushing extends outwardly in a straight forward motion parallel to said platform base.

- at least one support member comprising at least one side arm and at least one leg member extending downwardly normal thereto;
- a central support depression member connecting said at least one side arm;
- an axle rotatably supporting said at least one support member said axle being attached to said frame;
- at least one adjustable pivot arm connecting to said at least one support member for adjusting the length of said at least one adjustable pivot arm a selected distance of travel, wherein said at least one adjustable pivot arm is substantially normal to a lower end of said at least one leg member through a range of motion;
