Article transfer apparatus having a permanent magnet movable in a housing, the housing and magnet being supported by a cable which extends upwardly from the magnet and housing through a carriage movable in an inclined traverse arm between loading and discharge stations. An anti-slack cable system includes a pulley engaging the cable and mounted on an endless belt the opposite end of the cable carrying a deadweight engageable with a stop to limit its movement. At the discharge station, parallel arms carry a plate which engages the upper surface of the housing, to provide movement of the magnet in the housing to discharge articles and to prevent swing of the magnet, the housing and the load. The cable at the loading station passes through a resilient foam disc having radial slits, which brushes objects only loosely magnetically attracted to the magnet.
