Patent attributes
Apparatus for moving catalyst containers includes a lifting jack having first and second legs each supporting a roller, and each having a relatively short length to avoid contact with the discharge hopper of the container. First and second idler rollers are inserted under one end of the container base. A load plate of the lifting jack is engaged with the second end of the container base, and raised, allowing the container to be moved. The load plate is rotatably supported by a support plate positioned between the legs of the lifting jack. In use, a first end of the base is raised, the idler rollers are inserted, the first end is lowered, the lifting jack is inserted into the second end of the base, and raised to permit transport of the container.
