ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for installing carpet which provides for assembling and suspending a wheeled gantry hoist over a work domain for lifting furniture or other objects in a work-space, raising the suspended furniture by as little as one-half inch, and subsequently installing rolled carpet beneath the furniture. The wheeled gantry hoist comprises a pair of mobile support trusses spanned by an elongated beam of sufficient length to permit the full width of the carpet to be passed thereunder. The beam suspends at least one ratchet winch adapted to lift modular office panels and furniture and be slidably and detachably suspended from the beam. The carpet roll, having been rolled onto a spindle, is horizontally supported by a mobile carriage for spooling out the carpet. A blower is disposed to force high-velocity air beneath adhesive carpet to lift the carpet and prevent adhesion of the carpet to the floor as the carpet is being pulled beneath the raised furniture to be set in place by an installer. The environment is thus readied for carpet to be set in place.
