ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An animal transport unit comprises a housing having a bottom, a top, a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls, the top being movable between an open position whereat the housing is fully uncovered to provide a top opening and a closed position whereat the top forms a closure covering the top opening, and a floor inside the housing and overlying the bottom, the floor being movably mounted for movement between an upper limit position adjacent the top and a lower limit position adjacent the bottom. The unit further includes an opening formed in at least one of the walls and openable closure means covering the wall opening, the closure means being openable to allow an animal to enter or exit the housing through the wall opening and to be supported on the floor when in the housing, and means for positively raising and lowering the floor under control to move same between the upper and lower limit positions, while maintaining the floor stable during raising or lowering such that when the top is in the open position, the floor can be raised to elevate the animal through the top opening of the housing for access to the animal. There are also provided ventilation means permitting air to enter and exit from the interior of the housing as well as roller means for enabling the housing to be moved with the animal therein to transport same. The animal transport unit according to the invention is particu- larly useful for transporting show animals at showgrounds where the top of the unit can be opened and the floor raised so as to form in the elevated position a grooming tabletop for grooming the animal and on which the animal once groomed may stand for inspection. - 1 -
