The apparatus also has a motive power unit removably mounted on the dolly, the unit having a dolly lifting device for lifting the dolly from the floor, a chair holding device mounted on a pair of rails capable of being disposed in a space below the chair-guide bar, and provided to hold and move each chair between the chair-setting position on the floor and the chair-collecting position on the chair-guide bar, and driving and steering wheels for free movement on the floor.
