A retention collar rigidly attaches to a missile guidance assembly, and a transport cart lifts, supports, transports, and lowers the retention collar and thereby a retained assembly. The retention collar comprises a pair of trunnions for attachment to a workpiece, such as a missile guidance assembly, and for positioning on opposite sides of the workpiece. The transport cart includes a movable base with a frame attached thereto. The frame includes left and right side frame members which support a pair of rotatable bearing members so positioned to engage a corresponding one of the retention collar trunnions. A slot in each bearing member engages a collar trunnion. The slots include a bearing position at which the trunnion is held and which is raised or lowered by rotating the bearing member. The trunnions may also be rotated while at the bearing position. A frame/bearing locking pin selectively prevents rotation relative to the frame of the rotatable bearing member. A bearing/collar locking pin selectively prevents rotation of the retention collar relative to the bearing member. A work/storage table specifically adapted to accomodate the cart includes a plurality of work station support surfaces adapted to fit between the cart left and right side frames, thereby permitting the cart and a retained retention collar to engage a workpiece over the support surface.

A workpiece transport cart assembly, comprising: a retention collar for rigid attachment to a workpiece, the collar having a pair of trunnions projecting from opposite sides of the collar, the center axis of the trunnions defining a collar mounting axis; a transport cart for releasably supporting said retention collar, the cart including a movable base, a frame attached to the base, and a pair of bearing members rotatably mounted on the frame, the bearing members being spaced apart and each being positioned for releasably engaging a respective one of said trunnions; each bearing member having a slot for engaging a respective one of said trunnions, the inner end of each slot comprising means for rotatably supporting a respective trunnion and being at a position spaced from the axis of rotation of said bearing member on said frame; first locking means for releasably locking said bearing members in a selected position against rotation relative to said frame; and second locking means for releasably locking said trunnions in a selected position against rotation relative to said respective bearing members.
