A transport pallet 1 has an inclined load bed that extends from a low end to a high end. A vehicle 15 is driven onto the pallet 1 from the low end, which is close to the ground. As the pallet 1 is longer than the vehicle 15 carried on it, the gradient of the load bed is small as compared to conventional loading ramps. Thus, there is very little risk of the vehicle 15 grounding as it is driven onto the load bed. The vehicle 15 is secured to the load bed by tie-down points around the load bed. A forklift truck lifts the pallet 1 by engaging its forks within recesses at the high end. The truck then places the pallet 1, low end leading, into a shipping container 14, lowers the pallet 1 so that it rests on the floor of the container 14, and disengages from the pallet 1. Thus, the vehicle 15 is housed safely within the container 14, with little risk of damage during shipping. |
