Abstract: The invention provides a tray support plate assembly instead of a single cast unitary part for a tray carrier used in a mogul machine. The high wear or failure areas of the tray support plate assembly have been designed as removable and replaceable separate parts that are fastened onto the tray support plate. The support plate may be machined from aluminum billet material. The individual parts such as the end pick plate may also be made of aluminum plate material. Preferably the cam plate is made of steel material. A pair of cam mechanisms can be provided on opposed sides of the tray support plate.
