Abstract
A load leveling foot assembles with a panel for adjusting the height of the panel relative to a support surface. The load leveling foot comprises a foot body, a pivot portion projecting from the foot body for engagement with the panel, a base portion located on the foot body spaced apart from the pivot portion for engagement with a support surface, and an actuator-engaging portion located on the foot body spaced apart from the pivot portion and from the support portion. The actuator portion is configured for engagement with an actuator for pivoting the foot about the pivot portion in such a manner that the base portion rotates relative to the pivot portion so as to increase the distance between the base portion and the panel when the foot body is pivoted in one direction and to decrease the distance between the base portion and the panel when the foot body is pivoted in an opposite direction.
