Abstract
Vehicles supporting a load are propelled between a load receiving station and a pallet unloading station. When the loaded vehicle is in a predetermined location, the pallet unloader is actuated causing the unloader ram element of the pallet unloader to contact the load and urge the load off the support vehicle and onto the load receiving station. This unloading is accomplished while the vehicle continues to move through the unloading station. The rate of unloading is coordinated with the speed of the vehicle through the unloading station.
