Claim 19:
20. A system for transporting a modular foundation, comprising:
a load frame;
a load arm operatively coupled to the load frame;
a load frame leg depending from the load frame and coupled to the load arm so that the load arm can rotate relative to the load frame leg;
a force-producing device comprising a hydraulic ram or a linear motor operatively coupled between the load frame and the load arm;
wherein the load arm engages a tension reaction point on an end of the modular foundation;
wherein the load arm also engages a compression reaction point on the end of the modular foundation; and
wherein the force-producing device is energized to apply a compressive force at the compression reaction point, apply a tension force at the tension reaction point, and lift the modular foundation while the modular foundation is in compression.
