ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a method and device for loading high-loft materials such as batting into the cargo compartment of a truck, container or railroad car. The high loft batting is rolled and packaged in plastic bags. The device has a number of tubular cells provided to hold said bags, and a support structure having a piston for each cell. The bags are inserted into the cells, and the device is then rolled into the truck. The bags are ejected from the cells by the pistons which push the bags out. The cells are arranged so that they form a shape which is similar to the cross-section of the cargo compartment. As the bags are ejected from the cell they maintain that shape thus insuring optimum loading of the compartment.
In order to reduce the volume of the bags, the bags are collapsed by removing some of the air contained within the bags prior to their insertion into the cells.
