ABSTRACT:
Newspaper stacks are transported from stacking and tying equipment to a loading dock by a closed-loop endless train of carts moving on a contoured track which can allow horizontal or vertical movement of the cart train. The individual carts may be loaded, while in motion, with one or two stacks at cart loading stations along the closed-loop path from bundle entry devices which are interlocked and synchronized with the moving cart train. The contents of each cart can be discharged at preselected discharge regions in a truck loading dock by tilting the track and the cart at a 30.degree. angle as the train passes the loading dock, and selectively opening a bundle retaining gate provided on each cart, to enable gravity discharge of the stacks to the desired loading dock location.
