A method and apparatus for use with a load-elevating carrying device having a load-discharging push mechanism for accurate direct transference of a load from the load-elevating carrying device without the necessity of repeated positioning and adjustment maneuvers of the load device during off-loading procedure. The apparatus of the invention includes a platform member for receiving a load which has a generally vertical wall joined to and extending uprightly from one edge thereof and motion guide elements fixed to the platform member for enabling the motion thereof along a rectilinear path corresponding to the movement of the motion guide elements in response to a force applied in the horizontal direction. There is also includes a transfer track on which the motion guide elements with the platform are mounted for limited travel preferably in an inclined direction so that a load can be pushed from the elevating member of the load-carrying device onto the platform member as it rises up the incline to meet the load and accurately position it thereon without repeated adjusting maneuvers, and be returned by the force of gravity.
