Arrangement for handling a load

An arrangement for handling a load, comprising:

• a jack including a wheeled base and a piston-and-cylinder assembly supported on the base, the piston-and-cylinder assembly being shiftable between a retracted, lowered position and an extended, raised position and including an upper end presenting a first receiving structure;
• a platform assembly including a second receiving structure adapted for receipt on the first receiving structure, a first docking component, and mounting structure adapted for connection to the load;
• and
• a stand including a second docking component adapted for receipt of the first docking component of the platform assembly so that the platform assembly and load can be transferred between the jack and the stand, wherein the platform assembly includes a plate, and the mounting structure includes at least one mounting arm extending from the plate and a removable lift pad assembly supported on the at least one mounting arm at a position spaced from the plate.
