ABSTRACT:
Load engaging and gripping apparatus for attachment to the lifting mechanism of a conventional lift truck for handling loads which are crushable and yet may be compressed slightly without damage thereto. The apparatus comprises a lift assembly adapted for mounting on a lift mechanism of a lift truck with opposed carrier plates affixed to opposite ends of the lift assembly. The carrier plates on their confronting faces slidably mount load engaging and gripping platens whereby when the opposed platens are in contact with the load under light frictional engagement and the lift assembly is moved vertically upward, the platens will be moved inwardly toward each other to frictionally and firmly grip the load therebetween for lift purposes.
