Abstract
A lifting and transporting device for toilets includes a wheeled frame to which a pair of moveable lifting bars are attached. Moveable support collars and adjustable lifting rods are attached to the lifting bars, and the collars and rods are selectively positionable about a toilet to perform a holding and supporting function. The lifting bars are selectively vertically moveable by a hand actuated threaded rod. After a toilet has been lifted from the floor, it can be transported by the invention to a desired location and then lowered into position by a reverse operation of the threaded lifter.
