ABSTRACT:
A cargo consisting of stacked compressible bales, such as bales of straw, positioned on a flat cargo bed of a cargo vehicle is compacted and compressed laterally of the cargo bed to eliminate excessive overhang of the cargo beyond the sides of the bed by pressing compacting members against opposite sides of the cargo to exert opposing compacting forces on the cargo laterally of the cargo bed. The disclosed compacting members are rollers between which the cargo vehicle is driven in a manner such that the rollers undergo relative rolling movement along the sides of the cargo to progressively compact the cargo from one end to the other.
