ABSTRACT:
An apparatus designed to assist the manual transportation of large, heavy or unwieldy articles. The preferred embodiment is an economically-designed mattress caddy fabricated of a variety of strong light-weight materials (e.g. nylon, aluminum) to provide functionality and durability. The main components of the present invention include a support strap, with handles formed at each end, and two cradle assemblies. To transport a mattress, the apparatus is first laid out lengthwise, with the cradle assemblies positioned open-end-up, to facilitate the loading of the mattress. The cradle assemblies are then positioned along the strap at intervals. A long edge of the mattress is then placed into each of the cradle assemblies. Each individual then grasps a handle with one hand, places his/her other hand on opposite surfaces of the vertically-oriented mattress to balance the load, and lifts the mattress off of the ground/floor.
