ABSTRACT:
This loader has one or more frames mounted to travel around a central pivot post. Each frame has preferably two fork arms extending radially out and curved inward like a gear or sprocket tooth profile to mesh between pedestals on a vehicle moved tangentially past the loader with a slope to transfer a load thereto or from according to the direction of movement. Grooved wheels support the frame on a circular cam track concentric about the pivot and are mounted on legs that swing to switch between concentric tracks having reverse slopes to transfer to or from a vehicle in either direction. Cradles on the forks have fingers to engage the side of the vehicle to align for transfer. The vehicle can have side couplers which engage behind the forward fork arm on its inner curve to gradually accelerate the loader into alignment for transfer or the loader can be powered or started to mesh its forks between the pedestals. After transfer the loader is pushed away from the vehicle by the side couplers, or the loader pushes the vehicle and turns out therefrom. The loader runs in a circle between a train and storage dollies to load or unload the train selectively nonstop. The loader can be stationary or vehicle mounted and can transfer cargo or passenger containers, dollies, or pallets for loads such as autos, semitrailers, buses of passengers, freight, etc.
