A support or jig (6) for handling packs including elongated articles, especially lumber packs (2a,2b), is adapted to support the lumber pack during the handling and to be brought to an appropriate position in front of an input opening in a rack (1) for the transfer of a loading pack between the handling device (6) and the rack (1). During the transfer between the handling device and the rack, the weight of the pack gives rise to a tilting moment. Therefore, the device (6) is provided with supporting arms (10a,10b) which securely engage supporting means (11a-11e) in the rack (1) so that the handling device (6) during the transfer operation is supported in the area of the rack openings. The arms are locked in their extended positions by the load and hold the jig next to the rack, even if a tilting moment is created during transfer.
