Abstract
A portable article lifter, separator, and compressor capable moving a variety of articles. The core components are a frame, a motor, a power source, and a set of interchangeable end effectors suitable for moving different types of articles. This device is used to lift an article, separate multiple articles from each other, and compress one or more articles. Multiple devices can operate collaboratively to move a large and/or heavy article via daisy chaining the devices using synchronization modules. A transmission between the motor and the end effector controls the speed and the torque of the end effector. The device further provides an ON/Off module, a frame base, a handle, a level, wheels and rollers, and a work light.
