A platform assembly is connected to the first end of the frame assembly. A handle assembly is connected to the frame assembly at the second end of the frame assembly, and a plurality of roller assemblies are connected transversely between the lateral frame members. An extension assembly has a first end adapted to be connected to the second end of the frame assembly. The extension assembly includes a pair of lateral extension frame members spaced apart from each other by and connected to a pair of transverse extension frame members located at respective ends of the extension assembly. The extension assembly also includes a plurality of roller assemblies connected transversely between the lateral extension frame members. The platform assembly includes a first platform portion which extends forward of the frame assembly and includes a second platform portion which extends rearward of the frame assembly. The second platform portion includes receivers adapted for receiving a portion of the extension assembly for supporting the extension assembly.
