Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring loads between selected stations includes a transfer car operable for selective shifting along a predetermined path interposed between first and second stations and a load carrier mounted on the transfer car operable for reciprocative shifting relative to the transfer car from a pre-spot position to load receiving and depositing positions. An orienting device such as a turntable is positioned adjacent the predetermined path and is operable for selectively rotating the transfer car and the load carrier through a predetermined angular displacement.
