A heavy duty moving system including a base sled having two sets of integral, drop-leaf, heavy duty caster wheels (FIG. 1) and a lever arm assembly (FIG. 6) for moving heavy equipment, for example, the “XEROX”copy machines of the 2400 series. The sled is slid under the machine (FIG. 8) and then raised at one end by the lever arm assembly (FIG. 9), after which one set of integral, drop-leaf caster wheels are lowered into position and locked. The opposite end of the sled is jacked up and the second set of integral, drop-leaf caster wheels are lowered and locked into position after which the lever arm assembly is removed. The machine then rests on the sled and its caster wheels and is ready for transportation. The machine is taken off the moving system in the opposite manner.

A moving apparatus for moving a heavy load having a portion of its bottom area offset from the surface on which it rests comprising; a sled for positioning beneath the offset bottom area of the heavy load in juxtaposition thereto, said sled having first and second integral sets of heavy duty carriage members movably mounted thereon, said carriage members being drop-leaf casters which are rotatably mounted on said sled and have a raised, inoperative position and a lowered, operative position at a 90°angle with respect to each other, said casters being movable from one position to another by being rotated the 90°; L-shaped Leverage means for raising both ends of said sled so as to permit said first and second sets of carriage members to be moved into a lowered operative position under the heavy load, thereby enabling said heavy load to roll freely on the lowered carriage members, said leverage means provided with transportation means on said leverage means for transporting said sled on said leverage means; and spring biased locking means on said drop leaf casters for locking said drop leaf casters in their respective operative and inoperative positions.
