An end effector assembly is provided which allows for transport of test fixtures between storage locations and testing locations. The end effector assembly includes a pivotable frame, a pair of loading arms which can be separated or drawn together, and a pair of gripping members which provide a wristlike action. Operation of the apparatus is provided by manipulating the apparatus into the vicinity of a first location, manipulating the elongate arms such that they engage the opposing handles, lifting the test fixture from a first position, manipulating the apparatus into the vicinity of a second location; and lowering the test fixture into the second position.
