<p>The invention provides a load handling system which includes at least one roller guideway (14, 16, 18) arranged to support and guide a load along a predetermined path, and pneumatically operated load support members (22, 24) disposed parallel to the guideway which are movable between a retracted position is which they allow the load to move freely on the guideway, and an extended position in which they are forced into contact with and lift the load off the guideway. A roller chain drive mechanism (32) moves the load along the guideway. The system can be installed in a cargo vehicle and uses the compressed air system of the vehicle.</p> |
