Apparatus for Transport of Equipment and Method for Manufacture Thereof
First Claim
1. An apparatus for transporting equipment, comprising:
- a first platform having a substantially planar first surface;
a second platform having a substantially planar second surface substantially parallel to the first surface, the second platform mechanically coupled to the first platform via a plurality of compression springs allowing movement of the second platform relative to the first platform; and
a bearing assembly mechanically coupled to the first platform and the second platform and configured to maintain registration of the second platform relative to the first platform.

Abstract
An apparatus for transporting equipment and a method for the manufacture of the apparatus are disclosed. A method of manufacture may include providing a first platform having a substantially planar first surface. The method may also include providing a second platform having a substantially planar second surface substantially parallel to the first surface. The method may further include mechanically coupling the second surface to the first surface via a plurality of compression springs allowing movement of the second platform relative to the first platform. Additionally, the method may include mechanically coupling a bearing assembly configured to maintain registration of the second platform relative to the first platform.
