Zusammenfassung:Lifting transporter devices, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. Representative devices can have a plank-like configuration, with multiple devices fitting under a load to lift and move the load. A representative device includes an elongated body and a pair of drive trucks carried by the elongated body and positioned toward opposite ends of the elongated body. Each drive truck can include a pair of drive wheels and a lift device positioned and actuatable to raise the body between a first position and a second position. The device can further include one or more outrigger assemblies positioned between the drive trucks and having casters positioned laterally outwardly from the drive trucks. The casters are positionable to engage a surface on which the drive trucks are supported when the lift devices are in the first position, and disengage from the surface when the lift devices are in the second position.
