A SYSTEM FOR HANDLING COMPRESSIBLE ARTICLES SUCH AS LOADED BAGS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A system for handling a load of compressible items such as bags of glass fibre insulation includes a cart having a predetermined distance between its end walls but open on sides. A forklift truck is provided with upright side walls movable towards and away from each other, and with means spanning the upper edges of the side walls, combined with fork elements in forming a generally rectangular load receiving compartment which corresponds to the generally rectangular load receiving compartment of the cart. When the load is lifted from the cart, the side walls can be actuated to contract the load by restricting the width of the load receiving compartment such as to allow the driving of the forklift truck into the cargo space of a tractor trailer or another suitable transport vehicle. The unloading from the forklift truck is effected by a pusher plate known per se. The advance in the art is in simplified structure of the equipment and in faster operation as the respective carts become available immediately upon the unloading of the load. The structure of the cart itself is also simplified.
