ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for manipulating and transporting equipment such as electronic equipment racks is engageable with a rack in either its upright position or its horizontal position and is controllably positionable to rotate the engaged rack to a horizontal position for transport and vertical position for installation. The apparatus comprises a horizontal mainframe which is supported on casters so as to be easily rollable. The mainframe supports a battery-powered drive unit coupled to a first piston manipulator, one end of which is pivotally attached to the mainframe and the other end of which is pivotally attached to a rotatable rack-support mast. The rack support mast unit contains a second piston manipulator one end of which is attached to the support mast and the other of which is attached to a translatable rack engagement subframe having an engagement footplate at one end of the rack support mast. The rack-support mast is pivotally attached to the mainframe so as to be rotatable between a horizontal position, at rest on the mainframe, and a vertical position, rotated 90° with respect to the mainframe, at which the support mast and its translatable foot may engage an upright equipment rack. The mainframe is further provided with a pair of stabilizer arms which pivot horizontally about the end of the mainframe whereat the support mast is rotatable to its vertical position.
