A cargo suspension frame apparatus from which an aggregated or unitized block of discrete cargo units may be suspended by flexible straps so that the block of cargo is held immediately below the suspension frame and free of any lower pallet. The suspension frame has been adapted for use in conjunction with an ordinary forklift and is fitted with a sling for use in cooperation with a dockside crane. On the upper edge of at least two sides of the suspension frame, cylindrical reels are rotatably disposed at spaced positions to wind and unwind the straps. A manual or power actuated set of locking cams releasably connects the opposite ends of the straps to the suspension frame. The reels are turned in a winding or unwinding direction by an electric gear motor or a hydrostatic drive unit.
