An apparatus is provided for transferring articles from a pickup position to a pickoff position and thence to a dropoff position. The apparatus includes apair of pickup arms which are spaced apart to engage lugs oppositely extending from an article to be transferred. As the transfer arms are caused to be moved rotatably, the article is transferred to the pickoff position whereat the lugs are adjacent to stepped end portions of a pair of pickoff arms. Further movement of the transfer arms causes the article to engage surfaces of the stepped free ends of the pickoff arms and to be supported by engagement of the lugs with surfaces of the stepped end portions of the pickoff arms. Afterwards, the pickoff arms are turned to allow the article to descend until, at a predetermined position, the lugs of the article become engaged with a conveyor and become disengaged from the pickoff arms. Successive ones of the articles are supported by engagement of thelugs with the conveyor such that main body portions of the articles are submerged in a treating bath beneath the conveyor.
