ABSTRACT A load transfer device is provided which enables bulk goods packed in sacks, boxes and the like and supported on a first pallet to be transferred to a second pallet. A load platform receives bulk goods stacked onto the first pallet and includes a floor onto which the pallet can be placed, and a side member for retaining bulk goods resting against it. The load platform is supported clear of ground contact on a suitable framework and is pivoted at its rear face. A lid is slidably supported on the load platform in spaced parallel relationship to the floor for movement towards and away from the floor. The lid supports the base of a second pallet placed in the load platform with its load accepting surface resting on the top of the stack of goods. Actuating means connected between the load platform and the lid which are extended to move the lid away from the floor to allow the first and second pallets to be loaded into the load platform are then retracted to cause the lid to engage the base of the second pallet. The load platform is then rotated by suitable means from an initial upright position to an inverted position, the direction of rotation being such that the side member supports the load during the inversion. The lid can then be moved downwardly to release the load.
