ABSTRACT:
A method of transporting bagged cargo is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of placing elongated bags on a strap with the transverse midline of each bag aligned on or over the strap. The strap is then fastened around the sides and over the top of the bags, therefore forming a matrix. The matrix is lifted by applying an upward and inward lifting force to the straps which contain the matrix, therefore unitizing the bags. In preferred embodiments, the height of the matrix is greater than or equal to 0.7 times the width of the matrix. In other embodiments, an intermediate cross strap is provided to unitize the bottom half of the matrix separately from the top half. The resulting method permits a great number of bags to be efficiently transported to transshipment points with greatly reduced manpower and at reduced cost.
