The center of gravity is high on the intermediate

Leg fitted to aid in its transportation. There are
two safe modes of handling depending on the
environment.

designed for use on flat, concrete or tarmac
surfaces. This is the ideal mode for moving the
A-Frame in a factory or depot environment.
The ‘Wheelbarrow’ Configuration keeps the
center of gravity of the A-Frame as low as
possible and is designed for maneuvering on
rough ground and open areas
