Apparatus for lifting and rendering mobile for movement about a floor, a stand upon which a plurality of slot machines are mounted, the stand having a front wall and a rear wall, and a top wall upon which the slot machines are mounted, the invention including wheel-equipped lifting assemblies that are removably mountable to the stand, and each lifting assembly comprising a horizontally extending cross-bar that spans the stand top and lies adjacent thereto, and a pair of wheeled upright members attachable to opposite ends of the cross-bar and lying adjacent the stand side walls, the upper part of each upright being adapted to slidably embrace the cross-bar to firmly hold it at about 90.degree. to the cross bar and to be adjustable therealong with a device to releasably clamp the cross-bar to the upright member. The lower portion of the upright member is adapted to engage a lower edge portion of the stand and the upright member includes a lifting-jack equipped component with a floor-engaging wheel that is operative to extend downwardly to engage the floor and to urge the remainder of the upright member upwardly to engage the stand and raise it off the floor. A plurality of lifting assemblies mounted to the stand at spaced apart locations are operative to support the stand on wheels so that the stand may be rolled to other locations on the floor and lowered into a new position as desired.
