ABSTRACT:
A bundle carrier attachment for a fork lift truck has a longitudinally extending, rectangular horizontal upper framework which is supported on longitudinally extending parallel tines of the fork lift truck. A pair of vertical support legs extend downwardly, one from each end of one longitudinal edge of the horizontal framework, and a bundle carrier tine is rotatably mounted with respect to each of these vertical load support legs in vertically spaced relation generally below one of the fork lift truck tines. These bundle carrier tines are integral with rotatable bundle tine support shafts which extend up inside of vertical support legs to and through the upper horizontal framework of the attachment. Means is provided to rotate these shafts to selectively position these bundle carrier attachment tines in mutually aligned relationship, parallel to the longitudinal edge of the upper framework thus to allow the bundle carrier attachment to be lowered over an elongated bundle to be lifted by manipulation of the fork lift truck tines; and means is provided to rotate these bundle tine support shafts to position the bundle carrier tines in transverse relationship with respect to said elongated bundle and said longitudinal edge of said upper framework when the framework is so positioned as to lie over such a bundle so that the bundle can be lifted and transported by the bundle carrier tines upon manipulation and lifting of the fork lift truck tines.
