<p>A wheeled transport vehicle of the kind disclosed in my prior application Serial No. 553163 is provided with at least one laterally adjustable barrier member which forms a side or end of an interior space within which successive layers of bales or other articles are formed on or over the floor. A vehicle of the aforesaid kind has a body which is open at the back and comprises spaced side walls and a front wall and a vertically movable floor is arranged therein and is progressively lowered as successive layers of articles are formed within the upper part of the body. The said barrier member may have the form of a rail or bar or it may be an auxiliary wall which preferably is shallow in depth so as to be disposed wholly above the level of the floor when the latter is in its uppermost operative position whereby it is movable inwardly above the latter. The said barrier member or one or more of them, is preferably movable inwardly by power actuated means, thereby to push the bales or other articles closer together. More particularly each of the barrier members is disposed inwardly of, and adjacent and parallel to, a corresponding side or end wall of the body which nay also be open at the bottom so that the floor may be lowered onto the ground and then detached from its raising and lowering means. The floor may also support a longitudinally slidable pallet or false floor so that the latter may be discharged together with a stack of bales formed thereon.</p> |
