The invention provides a free standing load transfer device for transferring bulk goods supported on a first pallet to a second pallet. The device comprises a unitary three sided load platform supported for rotation between an upright and an inverted position and adapted to receive the bulk goods on the first pallet. The platform comprises a floor, side member and rear wall all of reinforced rigid sheet material. A lid also of reinforced rigid sheet material is slidably supported in spaced relationship to the floor and is adapted on inversion of the load platform to support the base of a second pallet placed with its load accepting surface on top of said bulk goods. Actuating means are connected between the load platform and lid to extend the lid away from the floor thus allowing the bulk goods and pallets to be loaded into the platform. A stand having a rotatable shaft mounted thereon which is affixed to the rear wall is provided to support the load platform. Means for rotating the load platform between an upright and an inverted position are provided.
