ABSTRACT:
A pallet conveyor assembly for moving, positioning, and transferring a heavy palletized load comprising a pallet, support means having a plurality of independent support modules each including a power driven closed loop vertically oriented link chain, the chain including engagement pins, means for supporting the pallet for displacement along the support means in a selected direction, pin engagement means mounted to the pallet including an engagement plate having a spaced pair of downwardly opening slots in which one of the engagement pins can be located, and spring means for biasing the engagement plate between an upper position whereat one of the slots can engage an engagement pin on the top run of the link chain, to a lower position, adjacent modules being selectively spaced and engagement pins being selectively located on the drive chain so that as a pallet is driven forwardly from one module to another an engagement pin of the one module will become disengaged from the front slot and an engagement pin of the other module will simultaneously engage the front slot when the engagement plate is at the lower position.
