In a continuous conveyor positioned on goods vehicle platforms and comprising equidistantly spaced carriages, load carrying elements provided with guide rails and blocking means arranged to cooperate with correspondingly shaped guide and blocking means on said carriages for interconnecting said carriages and said carriers whereby the latter may be advanced by means of said conveyor.

A cargo conveying apparatus on a motor truck is described which is capable of moving cargo on the motor truck in a rotational manner by means of a series of conveying mechanisms, and wherein substantially all of the area of the truck bed is utilized without producing a dead space on the motor truck bed while performing loading and unloading operations. The conveying apparatus is characterized by a longitudinal conveying mechanism which consists of a pair of longitudinal rails installed on the floor of the motor truck rear body, a pair of longitudinal feed pawls which are reciprocably installed within the longitudinal rails to convey cargoes only in one direction, and connecting means for reciprocating, in opposite directions, the longitudinal feed pawls, a lateral conveying mechanism which consists of lateral rails installed in the lateral direction at the front end of the aforementioned rear body floor and lateral feed pawls which are reciprocably installed within the lateral rails to convey cargoes only in one direction, an interlock device which interconnects the aforementioned longitudinal conveying mechanisms with the aforementioned lateral conveying mechanism, and a fluid pressure cylinder unit which serves as a power source for driving the aforementioned longitudinal and lateral conveying mechanisms simultaneously through the interlock device.
