A cart for heavy folding tables facilitates the loading, folding, erection, and unloading of one or more conventional folding tables therefrom, by a single person without substantial effort by the person performing the operation. The present cart includes a table receiving bed at such a height that a table tipped with its lower edge resting upon the base is slightly overbalanced toward the lower edge, with nearly all of the weight of the table still resting upon its lower two legs. The base of the cart includes a series of ridges forming pairs of notches for holding the lower edge of tables placed thereon.

1. A cart for heavy folding tables of a type used by hotels, convention centers, schools, and other institutions having a planar upper member supported by a rectangular support frame thereunder that includes a pair of spaced folding leg members for supporting said planar upper member approximately 29-30 inches above the floor, said cart comprising:a base frame having an upper table receiving bed for supporting the lower edge of a table tipped thereon; said bed having a height equal to or greater than one-half the height of said folding tables, the height of said bed relative to the height of said folding tables being such that when the cart is placed beneath a table, and the table is tipped over to a position approximately corresponding to the equilibrium position of the weight of the table, said bed is capable of supporting the weight of the table; said base further including a tipped table support extending upwardly and at an angle from said bed for supporting a table top in the tilted and transporting position; said table support having a steep slope extending upwardly and outwardly from said base such that the table, with the top thereof placed against said support structure and with the legs thereof extended over said base, is leaning slightly against said tipped table support in a stable orientation; said bed further including guide ridges along at least opposed ends of said base frame defining a plurality of table edge holding notches therebetween; whereby a single operator can easily load and unload said heavy folding tables.
