A fitting stand including a frame arrangement, a platform, and a wheel arrangement. The wheel arrangement includes front and rear wheel assemblies. The frame arrangement is configured to pivot the platform between a lowered position and a raised position. In the lowered position, a base frame of the frame arrangement is lifted from the ground such that the only the front and rear wheel assemblies contact the ground to provide transportation of the fitting stand when either loaded or unloaded. In the raised position, legs of the frame arrangement contact the ground such that the front and rear wheel assemblies are lifted off the ground.

What is claimed is: 1. A fitting stand, comprising: a) a frame arrangement including pivoting legs; b) a platform interconnected to the pivoting legs, the platform being selectively pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position; and c) a wheel arrangement arranged to transport the fitting stand when the platform is in the lowered position, the wheel arrangement including a front wheel assembly and a rear wheel assembly; d) wherein the wheel arrangement contacts the ground only when the platform is in the lowered position, and wherein only the pivoting legs contact the ground when the platform is in the raised position. 2. The fitting stand of claim 1, wherein the frame arrangement includes a base frame, the legs of the frame arrangement being pivotally interconnected between base frame and the platform to pivot the platform between the lowered position and the raised position. 3. The fitting stand of claim 2, wherein each of the legs includes an extension that extends beyond a connection location between each of the legs and the base frame. 4. The fitting stand of claim 3, wherein the extensions of the legs are sized such that the front and rear wheel assemblies lift off the ground when the platform is in the raised position. 5. The fitting stand of claim 3, wherein the front wheel assembly is coupled to the base frame and the rear wheel assembly is coupled to the platform. 6. The fitting stand of claim 1, wherein the frame arrangement pivots to a transport orientation to permit transport of the fitting stand by the wheel arrangement when the platform is pivoted to the lowered position. 7. The fitting stand of claim 6, wherein the frame arrangement includes a base frame, the base frame member being located a distance from the ground when the frame arrangement is pivoted to the transport orientation. 8. The fitting stand of claim 6, wherein the transport orientation is a first transport orientation, and wherein the frame arrangement pivots to a second transport orientation when a load is placed upon the platform, the second transport orientation permitting transport of the fitting stand by the wheel arrangement. 9. The fitting stand of claim 1, wherein the front wheel assembly includes at least one brake. 10. The fitting stand of claim 1, further including a power unit coupled to the frame arrangement to raise and lower the platform between the raised and lowered positions. 11. The fitting stand of claim 1, wherein the frame arrangement includes: a) a base frame; b) the legs being pivotally connected to the base frame; and c) at least a structure interconnected to at least one of the legs, the structure being arranged to contact the base frame to pivot the base frame to a transport orientation such that the base frame is located a distance from the ground when the platform is in the lowered position. 12. The fitting stand of claim 11, wherein the structure is a cross-support structure that interconnects two of the legs of the frame arrangement. 13. A fitting stand, comprising: a) a frame arrangement including a base frame; b) a platform interconnected to the base frame, the platform being selectively pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position; and c) a wheel arrangement arranged to transport the fitting stand when the platform is in the lowered position, the wheel arrangement including a front wheel assembly and a rear wheel assembly; d) wherein the base frame pivots to a first transport orientation, relative to the platform when the platform is in the lowered position, the base frame being located a first distance from the ground when the base frame is pivoted to the first transport orientation; e) wherein the base frame pivots to from the first transport orientation to a second transport orientation, relative to the platform, when a load is placed upon the platform; and f) wherein the base frame is located a second distance from the ground when the base frame is pivoted to the second transport orientation, the second distance being greater than the first distance.
