ABSTRACT:
A transport vehicle comprises a rigid rectangular frame which is open at one end, a vertically movable load supporting floor and a longitudinally extending conveyor supported on and near the top of a side wall of the frame.
A transverse conveyor extends across the top of the frame near the level of the longitudinal conveyor and deflector means may be provided to transfer articles from the latter to the former. Thus hay bales picked up in the field and delivered to the longitudinal conveyor may be distributed over the floor and after one complete layer of bales is formed, the floor may be lowered to enable a second layer to be similarly formed on the first layer and so on to form a stack on the floor. The frame is preferably open at the bottom to enable the floor to be lowered until it rests on the ground and the vehicle may be provided with pusher means by which the stack may be pushed from the floor onto the ground. Preferably however the floor after being lowered onto the ground may be detached from the vehicle so that the latter may then be moved forwardly away from the floor and the stack thereon. Means are also preferably provided for subsequently pulling the floor forwardly into register with the vehicle and during this operation the stack may abut against closed doors on the open end of the vehicle whereby the stack is progressively pushed from the floor.
