Abstract:
1. A shallow-draft transportable dolly for moving a pre-fabricated storm shelter through a threshold having a threshold height, wherein the pre-fabricated load has a height approximate to the threshold height, the dolly comprising: at least one rear wheel; at least one rear wheel attachment structure having a mechanical reception for a rear portion of a pre-fabricated storm shelter; two front wheels, each having an axle and each being attached to a wheel arm; and two front corner structures, each being attached to a wheel arm, and each having mechanical reception for a front corner of the pre-fabricated storm shelter; wherein, upon reception of the pre-fabricated storm shelter by the at least one rear wheel attachment structure and the two front corner structures, the pre-fabricated storm shelter is carried by the wheels, such that the front wheels extend beyond a width of the pre-fabricated storm shelter for straddling an open pit, and such that a bottom surface of the pre-fabricated storm shelter is positioned at or below a level of the axles and above a bottom of the wheels, thereby allowing the pre-fabricated storm shelter to be rolled on the wheels over the open pit with the wheels astride the open pit, removal of corner structures following suspension of the pre-fabricated storm shelter, thereby leaving the pre-fabricated storm shelter suspended over the open pit.
