Method and apparatus for connecting and moving objects
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for moving objects between locations using a moving apparatus coupled to a lifting device, such as a forklift. The moving apparatus is engageable with the lifting device when seated on a surface and is secured to the lifting device by a retaining assembly when the lifting device lifts the moving apparatus off the surface. The moving device includes a connector assembly which is used to retain or secure an object, article, or piece of equipment to the moving apparatus. The connector assembly may be any suitable hitch-type apparatus such as a standard ball hitch or a gooseneck hitch. In other embodiments, the connector assembly may include a platform which is rotatably mounted to a body of the moving apparatus. The platform defines a platform channel into which a portion of the object, article, or piece of equipment is received.
