Abstract
These rolling platforms are designed to protect oversize objects that will not fit into museum cabinets, and to provide a system for safely handling large objects when they must be moved. Some typical (and often heavy) objects for which rolling platforms might be needed are: stone and metal objects, large composite ethnographic objects, large skulls, mounted specimens and large fossils.
