A strap feed and take-up mounting member is adjustably mounted up and down along the pivoting member, and a strap feed and take-up assembly is mounted on a mounting surface of the strap feed and take-up mounting member. A chute having a rectangular frame with a channel for receiving a strap from the strap feed and take-up assembly is coupled to the strap feed and take-up assembly, wherein the chute is pivotably adjustable in relation to the base plate, and wherein the chute is adjustable up and down along the pivoting member. Removable wheel mounting bars are disposed on the front and rearward portions of a bottom surface of the base plate, and each wheel mounting bar includes casters disposed on opposite ends thereof by a shoulder screw.
