<p>A method and a device for transferring a load unit (6) between two carriers (1, 2a) are based upon a first of the carriers comprising a transfer arrangement (3) comprising at least one arm (4), which is extensible and contractable respectively in a transverse direction of the first carrier (1) and which forms a path of movement for a carrying member (5) included in the transfer arrangement. The carrying member is guidedly movable along the arm and adapted to carry the load unit which is to be displaced. The second carrier (2a) comprises securing members (7) to secure the load unit (6) by engaging with corresponding securing means (8) thereon. The securing members (7) of the second carrier (2a) are arranged adjustably movable vertically in order to raise and lower respectively a load unit (6) resting on the securing members. The vertical adjustability is adapted to the transfer arrangement (3) such that a load unit resting on the securing members (7) may be lowered, from an elevated position, such that the load of the load unit is transferred from the securing member (7) to the carrying member (5) introduced under the load unit.</p> |
