An apparatus useful for moving a load. The apparatus includes a carriage with two frames, each one has a hinge end. The frames are hingeably connected to each other at the hinge end. One frame is mounted on a rail to move the carriage therealong. The other frame is moveable relative to the first frame about the hinge end. A jack assembly is connected to the frames and is actuatable to move one frame relative to the other frame about the hinge end. A brake assembly is located away from the hinge end and has a brake plate member connected to one frame for resilient axial movement. The brake assembly also has a brake plate stopper connected to the first frame, and is moveable between a carriage stopping configuration, in which the brake plate stopper engages the brake plate member, and a carriage moving configuration in which the brake plate stopper is retracted away from the brake plate member.
