A carton filling apparatus has a primary conveyor section 1 for transporting cartons 2 along the length of the apparatus, and a secondary conveyor section 3 for conveying objects 4 intended to be inserted into the cartons in parallel with the cartons. Each object 3 is aligned with an open mouth of a carton 4. A pushing mechanism incorporates an overhead gantry arm 5 arranged above the conveyors to be moved along the conveyors in the longitudinal direction. A pusher bar 8 is arranged to be moved across the gantry arm over the conveyors. Pushers 9 act upon the objects in such a way as to move the objects into the cartons as the cartons and objects are moved along synchronously on the conveyors.
