A convertible medical appliance support apparatus includes a box-shaped hollow main body portion A suspended from overhead by a support apparatus B. A horizontal support table C extends forward from the front face of the vertical main body column to form a platform for supporting associated medical equipment. Multiple gas connections D are provided the main body portion together with a manual handle E near the bottom of the main column on a side of the column opposite from the support table to provide a convenient point to grip and move the body column into a desired position. Manually actuatable controls are provided at the handle, including brake release pushbuttons I and a motorized height adjustment toggle switch J. Multiple electrical connections F are included on the main body together with optional shelves G selectively attachable below the main platform. The appliance support system is convertible through use of replaceable pairs of face wall members that are held in a vertical orientation by a set of elongate corner connection members adapted to selectively engage and attach to edges of the face wall members. The hollow main body portion is easily re-configurable in width, depth, and height dimensions by mere replacement of selected pairs of face wall or corner members to realize a medical appliance support column having a range of selectable sizes and cross-sectional areas H.
