ABSTRACT:
A supporting rack comprises a plurality of cradle sets arranged in a series upon a lift platform, to translate a plurality of substantially identical load units or subassemblies, one to each cradle set, from one station or location to another. The cradle set comprises a pair of parallel, opposed, spaced apart nest members having elements projecting laterally therefrom in opposing relationship to support a load unit or subassembly therebetween, and a pair of lateral separator and tieing members removably secured to the ends of the nest members whereby to maintain the latter in upright, spaced apart relationship for facile reception of the said load unit or subassembly by and discharge from the nest members. The cradle sets can be arranged in parallel, adjacent, side-by-side series, in which case one of the lateral separator and tieing members is designed to separate and connect the nest members of parallel, adjacent, side-by-side cradle sets.
