ABSTRACT:
A device for transferring load units comprises a transfer apparatus for transferring such load units in an elevated condition between first and second carriers each having at least two upwardly open channels extending transversely to the longitudinal direction thereof, the channels being bridged by the load units when located on the carriers, the transfer apparatus being arranged on the second carrier and comprising at least two separate arms each having lifting devices and being displaceable from the channels of the second carrier to the channels of the first carrier and vice versa transversely to the longitudinal direction of the carriers, the channels of the second carrier housing the arms when inactive. Loading platforms for the load units formed by supporting chassis of the carriers each comprises a plurality of partial loading platforms, the partial loading platforms on each of the carriers being located between and beside the channels recessed into the chassis and being rectangular as viewed from above, each of the partial loading platforms being formed by chassis portions extending on one hand in the longitudinal direction of the chassis between the sides of adjacent channels or between the ends of the chassis and the sides of the channels located adjacent thereto, and on the other transversely of the longitudinal direction of the chassis from one longitudinal side of the chassis to the other. Each of the transfer arms is provided with its own separate operating mechanism for individually performing the displacement of the arm between the channels of the carriers.
