A pallet (1) has in its bottom endwise open slots (22) underneath article receiving spaces so that articles are supported by the undersides of laterally projecting portions (12) of the articles. The slot (22) is used for loading and/or unloading purposes by engaging therethrough chain conveyors 8. The longitudinally- extending pallet parts 18 are connected by framework 17 lifted by a T-piece 28. The T-piece can be retracted into a slot so that stacking is possible. In a modification, the pallet slides on rollers 30 to load and unload instead of the articles being carried by a conveyor. The articles may be engaged by flanges on their upper parts. <IMAGE> |
