摘要

Methods and means for forming and lifting parcels comprising at least two stacks of units of goods (A, B) comprising a lifting sling or a load carrying band (1) that is arranged to surround the stacks in a manner where it follows the outer contour of the stacks and where a loop of the band is arranged to protrude upwards in an intermediate space between the stacks to form an intermediate section (3) that can be served by a lifting device (2). The intermediate section (3) is arranged at a vertical level below the top of the stacks and further above the centre of gravity (G) of the parcel. The invention also relates to an apparatus for forming said parcel.
