Abstract

A box erecting device and method has two rails and two platforms upon moveable clips that provide for a wide range of product sizes and configurations. The rails begin near each other then widen apart along their length. The two rails extend from a fore upright downward and outward to a cross member. The two platforms include a middle member and an aft upright. A spine connects to the fore upright, the middle member, the cross member, and the aft upright. A fore leg and a mutually parallel aft leg descend from the spine to their baseplates. The baseplates attach to a supporting surface. The rails extend below the elevation of the spine and below the aft member. The components of the invention connect with mechanical clips inserted into slots upon the components. Installation, adjustment, and maintenance of the device utilizes hand tools.
