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;

    at least one weight sensor mechanically coupled to the second platform, the at least one weight sensor configured to measure a portion of weight of a load upon the apparatus; and

    a compression spring control module communicatively coupled to at least one compression spring of the plurality of compression springs and the at least one weight sensor, the compression spring module configured to tune the at least one compression spring based at least on the portion of weight of the load measured by the at least one weight sensor; and

    a third platform having a substantially planar third surface substantially parallel to the second surface, the third platform mechanically coupled to the second platform via the at least one weight sensor.
