LIFT DOLLY FOR USE WITH STAND-MOUNTED TOOLS.

摘要

A lift dolly (10) is provided for lifting and transporting stand-mounted power tools (57) and the like, with little effort. The dolly (10) includes a pair of platforms (12, 18) and a wheel system (30) having at least three castors (30) extending downwardly from the platforms (12, 18). The dolly (10) is designed such that one step onto a latching or locking mechanism (58) by the operator causes the wheel system (30) to be forced downward relative to the stand (57) thereby slightly lifting the power tool and stand (59) off the ground and enabling transport of same via the castors (30). Another step on the locking or latching mechanism (58) disengages the wheel system (30) and permits gravity to return the stand and tool (57) firmly to the ground for use.
