ABSTRACT:
A method of changing a load supported by a first pallet to a second pallet comprises placing the first pallet supporting the load adjacent a stop member rigidly mounted on a floor surface, the stop member having an opening at a lower end sufficient for the pallet to slide under the stop member and having an abutting surface above the opening for engaging a side of the load on the first pallet. The first pallet is first positioned so that it has a rear edge facing the stop member opening and a front edge on an opposite side facing away from the stop member. A spacer member is placed under the front edge of the first pallet to raise the front edge of the first pallet above the level of the second pallet, the spacer member being moveable inwardly toward the stop member along with the first pallet. The second pallet is placed against the front edge of the first pallet and is slid toward the stop member while being positioned against the first pallet, such that the first pallet is forced under the stop member while the load is held in place, thus causing the load to be slidably transferred from the first pallet to the second pallet. The elevation of the front edge of the first pallet by the spacer facilitates sliding transfer of the load.
