A moving apparatus for moving a shelving assembly having a vertical upright, the moving apparatus comprising:
- a support leg connectable to the shelving assembly, the support leg comprising
- a first portion releasably engagable with the vertical upright of the shelving assembly,
- a second portion, and
- a jack coupled to the second portion of the support leg, the jack actuatable to raise the shelving assembly relative to a support surface;
- and
- a fastener coupled to the support leg, the fastener movable with respect to the support leg to and from a position in which the fastener is releasably engaged with the vertical upright,
- wherein the jack is operable to raise and lower the first portion with respect to the support surface, and the first portion is retained against disengagement from the vertical upright responsive to being raised by the jack.
