<p>The tire-stacking device (800) includes a platform (417) for placing a plurality of tires side by side when the device is in a horizontal position. The device is thereafter raised by the lifting apparatus of a lift truck to a vertical position. The stack of tires is supported in this vertical position by a clamping arrangement (418) attached to the base end of the device. The clamping arrangement (418) is selectively releasable to permit an operator to deposit the stack of tires at a desired location. A hook (561) is also provided for connecting the device (800) to the lifting apparatus of a lift truck. A fork apparatus (745) is further provided to be used in cooperative arrangement with the hook (501), a pair of existing fork lift forks (720), and a lift truck to lift and transport objects. A cart apparatus (900) is also provided for facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the hook (561) to the lifting apparatus of the lift truck.</p> |
