ABSTRACT:
A pallet transferring arrangement and method for positioning a pallet transfer deck relative to a load transfer station is provided. The pallet transferring arrangement has a jack assembly for elevationally moving a load carrying member between first and second spaced positions relative to a vehicle frame. First and second guide assemblies guide the load carrying member and a supporting arrangement movably supports a pallet transfer deck on the load carrying member for movement in a plane. A plurality of replaceable deck positioning socket members engage a plurality of replaceable deck positioning cone members at the second position of the load carrying member and maintains the pallet transfer deck from movement in the plane. The plurality of deck positioning socket members are free from engagement with the deck positioning cone members at the first position of the load carrying members. A ground engaging foot is connected to and movable with the second guide assembly, and supports the load carrying member at a first position. Thus, pallet transfer deck positioning and stability are achieved in an efficient and economical manner. The pallet transferring arrangement is particularly suited for use on automatic guided vehicles.
