Abstract

A second side face opposes to a first side face. A first handle is provided on the first side face at a first position and adapted to be used to lift an image forming apparatus. A second handle is provided on the second side face at a second position which is higher than the first position, and adapted to be used to lift the image forming apparatus together with the first handle. A center of gravity for the image forming apparatus is located closer to the first side face than the second side face.
