A cart apparatus for lifting and moving aircraft chair units is described. The cart comprises a U-shaped frame with two sets of swivel-mounted casters on the bottom of the frame for mobility. A pair of upright support tube members with angle support members at their ends extend above the frame to support the rear stretcher bar of the chair unit. The baggage bar of the chair unit is held in place by a stop at the end of each leg of the U-shaped frame. A releasable retaining device for holding the baggage bar against the stop is also provided. The cart enables a single person to easily place the chair unit on the cart and move the cart and chair unit from place to place.
