Abstract

A detachable dolly for moving heavy electronic equipment employs a mounting bracket and a wheel assembly, the mounting bracket having a support plate and a mating flange. The mounting bracket is secured to the equipment by the support plate, having at least one lifting dowel, and at least one mounting bolt. The wheel assembly has a wheel mounted within a wheel bracket and a rotation adjustment mechanism for raising and lowering the wheel and is detachably engaged with the mating flange on the mounting bracket by the use of a mating member. The mating member is movably coupled with the adjustment assembly such that when the mating member is engaged with the mating flange, rotation of the adjustment assembly serves to vertically raise or lower the equipment.
