Abstract:

An apparatus for supporting and transporting a Christmas tree including a base having an upper surface with a center point and a lower surface with a periphery. A Christmas tree stand or other support device is disposed generally above the center point of the base for supporting the Christmas tree. A set of wheels are rotatably mounted generally about the periphery of the lower surface of the base for transporting the base. The wheels are spaced from each other to provide balanced support for the base. The wheels can be locked to prevent unintended transportation of the base. An extension member may be attached to hooks on the underside of the base for facilitating transportation of the tree.
