Title
Handling Device for Transporting Components of a Checkout Station
Abstract
A reusable handling device is specially designed for transporting components of a checkout station to a location within the store where the checkout station is installed. The handling device includes casters and is designed to removably mount to a checkout station component (e.g., bagger) having adjustable feet when there is a need to move or transport the checkout station component (e.g., during installation). Generally, the handling device is configured to extend between and engage two of the adjustable feet of the checkout station component. Two or more handling devices can be mounted to the checkout station component to move the checkout station component during installation and can be removed when finished. After the installation is complete, the handling devices can be returned to the manufacturer or supplier of the checkout station component for use in another installation.
