Portable suspension system for highly sensitive equipment

A portable cart for transporting highly sensitive equipment, comprising:

• a first frame support including spaced feet for supporting the equipment on a floor surface;
• a second frame support including rollers for rolling movement of the equipment;
• the first frame support being vertically movable relative to the second frame support;
• and
• a plurality of inflatable pneumatic shock absorbing elements positioned between the first and second frame supports, said shock absorbing elements when inflated lifting the first frame support above said floor surface while enabling the rollers of the second frame support to engage said floor surface for rolling/shock absorbing movement of the equipment, said shock absorbing elements when deflated lowering the first frame support to cause a plurality of spaced feet to engage said floor surface for fixed support of the equipment on said floor surface.
