LOAD CARRYING APPARATUS Apparatus for transporting a load by means of a vehicle having lifting forks reduced in length to combine with a rectangular pallet having side and end edges. The pallet has transversely extending floor boards and longi- tudinally extending stringers separated by spacer blocks with a deck of transversely extending boards mounted on the stringers. The assembly provides transverse channels into which the forks can be entered from either side edge to pick up the loaded pallet, and also provides longitudinal chan- nels for receiving the forks entered from either end edge. By reducing the effective length of standard forks, the outer ends of the forks are prevented from projecting from the remote side edge of the pallet when the forks are fully entered into the transverse channels. The length of the pallet plus the arrangement of the floor boards place the outer ends of the lifting forks clear of the outermost floor board when the forks are fully entered into the longitudinal channels. For a vehicle with standard lifting forks fitted with wheels, the forks are shortened to the required length and the wheels are shifted to a position locating the foremost edge of the wheels close to the overhanging outer ends of the forks and the wheels are positioned between floor boards when the forks are fully entered into the longitudinal channels. A framework is attachable to a vehicle fitted with lifting forks of standard length to obtain the same result as removing a portion of the forks to reduce the effective length.
