    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for transporting a plurality of palletless product units at a single time. A palletless product handling vehicle comprising two clamping pads capable of being positioned on either side of a plurality of product units maintained in side-by-side relation can be used to transport the product units during manufacturing, distribution, and storage processes. The clamping members can be maintained at a neutral camber, open to a distance of at least 96 inches, and close to a distance of about 28 inches or less. As a result of the camber, the improved mobility of the clamping members, and the improved clamping pads, two or more palletless product units can be transported in side-by-side relation at one time without causing damage or creasing to the product units. Thus, more efficient and cost-effective transportation of product units and product storage can be achieved.
