ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device which is for use as or as part of mechanical handling apparatus. It includes an elongate body, and, in the embodiment described, a support for supporting the load and an internal member housing rollers and which is movable above and below the support by an inflatable device in the form of an air bag. The body member is elongate so that it forms a kind of track and it includes a stop in the form of a plate which can be moved between a position in which a load can be moved along the track and a position where it prevents or hinders movement along the track. The track can thus be kept "live" during all loading and unloading operations and the stop keeps loads in their desired positions on the track both during handling and transport.
