Claim 12:
13. A system for transporting a modular foundation, the modular foundation having two ends opposite each other, the system comprising:
a pair of load frames, wherein each load frame comprises at least one load frame leg depending from the load frame;
a plurality of load frame arms, each load frame arm having a first end and a second end, each load frame arm rotatably coupled to the at least one load frame leg at a pivot point that is closer to the second end than to the first end;
a force-producing device operatively coupled to the first end of each load frame arm;
each load frame arm operatively engages adjacent the second end a tension reaction point on one of the two ends of the modular foundation;
each load frame arm also operatively engages between the pivot point and the first end a compression reaction point on the one end of the modular foundation; and

wherein the force-producing device is energized to apply a compressive force to the modular foundation at the compression reaction point, a tension force to the modular foundation at the tension reaction point, and lift the modular foundation while the compressive force is applied to the modular foundation.
