ABSTRACT:
A tool and method for permitting materials handling trucks of the type having standard forks on the front thereof to lift and handle loads of stacked boxes, sacks or other articles supported at their bottom only by flexible slipsheet pallets. The tool comprises an elongate frame having a pair of forwardly projecting, laterally spaced horizontal plates at the bottom thereof, such plates being ground to a sharply tapered edge at their leading edges. A respective handle is located adjacent each end of the elongate frame for use by a workman in manipulating the tool into a position such that the leading edges of the plates are at least partially inserted beneath an edge of a load-bearing slipsheet pallet while the slipsheet and load are at rest on the floor. The tool has a vertical rear surface for engaging the tips of a pair of standard lift truck forks so that the forks can be used to forcibly push the plates fully beneath the loaded slip sheet so as to be sandwiched between the slipsheet and the floor. At the bottom of the rear surface of the tool at locations directly to the rear of each of the respective forwardly projecting plates, a downwardly cammed surface having at least the width of the lift truck forks is provided. The cam surface permits the forks to be forcibly inserted beneath the forwardly projecting plates and thus below the slipsheet to permit the forks to operatively engage the underside of the loaded slipsheet and thereby lift the load.
