A conveyor primarily useful for handling palletized loads comprising in combination a walking beam conveyor and a non-powered roller conveyor. The palletized load is normally supported on a static support and the roller conveyor, but when it is desired to shift the load longitudinally, the walking beam conveyor lifts the load only a distance sufficient to lift a portion of the load resting on the static support by taking advantage of the inherent flexibility in the pallet while the pallet still rests on the roller conveyor. The walking beam conveyor then shifts the load longitudinally along the roller conveyor.
