Abstract
A power train handler having a first inverted T-shaped stand and a second inverted T-shaped stand the height of each of which is preferably independently adjustable. A T-shaped support is slidably attached to the upper end of each inverted T-shaped stand. Either an inverted U-shaped tip plate is rotationally balanced on a T-shaped support or a slotted bar having rotationally mounted arms is attached to the T-shaped support. Preferably, wheels are attached to the bottom of the inverted T-shaped stands; and, preferably, the inverted T-shaped stands are releasably, slidably, and lockably connected to each other.

- a first inverted T-shaped stand having a vertical portion with an upper end and a horizontal portion;
- a first T-shaped support having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion with the vertical portion of said T-shaped support being slidably attached to the upper end of the vertical portion of said first inverted T-shaped stand;
- a first inverted U-shaped tip plate rotationally balanced on the horizontal portion of said first T-shaped support;
- a second inverted T-shaped stand having a vertical portion with an upper end and a horizontal portion;
- a second T-shaped support having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion with the vertical portion of said T-shaped support being slidably attached to the upper end of the vertical portion of said second inverted T-shaped stand;
- and
- a second inverted U-shaped tip plate rotationally balanced on the horizontal portion of said second T-shaped support;
- the handler further comprising:
- a means for elevating said first T-shaped support attached to said first T-shaped support and to said first inverted T-shaped stand;
- a means for elevating said second T-shaped support attached to said second T-shaped support and to said second inverted T-shaped stand;
- and
- a means for releasably, slidably, and lockably connecting said first inverted T-shaped stand to said second inverted T-shaped stand;
- wherein:
- the upper end of the vertical portion of said first inverted T-shaped stand is open with the vertical portion of said first T-shaped support slidably inserted into the vertical portion of said first inverted T-shaped stand;
