ABSTRACT:
A new and improved transport apparatus which can be used to transport a load between different level surfaces according to a novel method of use of the present invention. The transport apparatus includes an undercarriage including a front and rear trucks having an elongated upright track assembly mounted therebetween for defining a predetermined path of travel that a load will follow as it is moved between a ground level position and an upper load destination position substantially above the ground. A load carriage unit mounted movably to the upright track assembly is coupled to a motor adapted to move the load reciprocatively rectilinearly along the predetermined path of travel. The front and rear truck construction facilitates transportation over a variety of terrain. Substantially, the trucks and upright track assembly are coupled together in a set of triangular arrangements that form a rigid, stable, load moving construction.
