ABSTRACT:
A pair of upstanding vertically elongated components are provided and each component includes upper and lower ends. The upper ends of the components are pivotally connected for relative swinging movement of the lower ends thereof toward and away from each other. The lower end of one of the components includes abutment surfaces facing toward the lower end of the other component and the lower end of the other component includes a wedge facing toward the abutment surfaces. An extendable hydraulic motor is operatively connected between the components for forcibly angularly displacing the components relative to each other to swing the lower ends thereof toward each other. The wedge-equipped component includes lower end foot structure for stationary support from a horizontal support surface and the abutment surface-equipped component includes lower end opposite side ground-engaging support wheels. Further, opposite side portions of the upper end of a first of said components includes horizontally outwardly projecting handgrip structure and the handgrip structure may be used to move the components about upon a horizontal support surface with which the support wheels are engaged in the same manner in which a hand truck may be wheeled and maneuvered over a horizontal support surface.
