ABSTRACT:
A method for rapid transportation and loading of stacks of cartons aboard vessels is provided which may include the mounting of slings about the stacks of cartons, transporting the cartons to the dock by a flatbed vehicle, hoisting the stacks of cartons off the flatbed vehicle and into the hold, depositing the cargo onto a landing pad, lifting the cargo off the landing pad with a lift truck, preferably a load push type lift truck, and depositing the cargo in the hold at the appropriate location. A sling pallet and a landing pad for use with the method are also disclosed. The method provides the advantages of improving the quality of the product by, inter alia, reducing the risk of thawing or spoilage, reducing costs by eliminating labor, eliminating the need to remove pallets and debris from within the vessel, reducing the likelihood of injury to workers, saving demurrage charges and speeding the transportation to and loading of the vessel.
