ABSTRACT:
A portable inverter, adapted to be moved to a desired location by a fork lift truck, enables bulk goods packed in sacks, boxes and the like and supported on a first pallet to be transferred to a second pallet. The inverter comprises a unitary three-sided, rotatably supported platform, the three sides of which are reinforced by intersecting ribs, which receives bulk goods stacked onto the first pallet, and includes a sheet metal floor onto which the pallet can be placed, a sheet metal side wall for retaining bulk goods resting against it, and a sheet metal rear wall which is longer than the side wall so that the first pallet can be loaded widthwise onto the load platform from the front thereof. A lid is slideably supported on the rear wall of the load platform in spaced parallel relationship to the floor for movement, by means of a hydraulic ram actuator, towards and away from the floor. The lid is adapted to support the base of a second pallet which is placed in the load platform with its load-accepting surface resting on top of the stack of goods. After the two pallets and the intervening bulk goods are loaded into the load platform, the lid is retracted to engage the base of the second pallet, the load platform is then rotated from an initial upright position to an inverted position, the direction of rotation being such that the side wall supports the load during the inversion, and the lid is then moved downwardly to release the load.
