Abstract: A material handling apparatus for transferring a load of material to a work-in-storage position and unloading the material onto a floor such as in an opening of a building under construction is disclosed. The apparatus includes a platform. Extension members are supported by the platform and protrude forwardly and outwardly from the front side of the platform for protruding in an opening such as a building under construction. A material transfer is mounted to the platform for supporting a load of material thereon and is moveable on the platform onto the extension members to an extended unloading position where the material transfer is supported by the extension member to permit the unloading of a load of material supported thereon without the necessity of entering onto the platform.
