Abstract

Apparatus and methods for an assembly jig are disclosed. The assembly jig includes an elongate support frame that has a first end and a second end, a fixed beam at the second end, transversely oriented to a long axis of the support frame, a pivotable beam at the first end, transversely oriented to the long axis and pivotable in a vertical plane that is substantially perpendicular to the long axis, and a floor contacting transport assembly connected to at least the pivotable beam and configured to enable selective movement of the assembly jig relative to a floor surface.
