ABSTRACT:
A method of transporting stacks of thin, planar products, such as periodicals, books, newspapers or the like, and a load carrier for such transport. The load carrier comprises a bottom (5) and four sides (1-4), and at least one pair of the mutually opposite sides (1, 3 resp. 2, 4) is provided with one or more upwards open slots (b 6, 7 resp. 8, 9 and 10, 11), whereas the bottom (5) is provided with a corresponding opening pattern in the form of upwards open channels (22, 23) which are open towards the slots. The load carrier is transported on a chain conveyor, and the product stack (18) placed on the carrier possibly is strapped while resting on the carrier, and the carrier is separated from the stack (18) by introducing a supporting device in the bottom channels (22 or 23) of the carrier beneath the stack, whereafter the stack is separated from the carrier by relative movement therebetween.
