Abstract: A cart for unloading and transporting chain is provided. The cart includes a frame with a number of tracks of a predetermined configuration which are superimposed over one another. Long segments of chain are routed from an oven onto a transfer rail assembly which, in turn, routes the segment of chain to a given track mounted in the cart. Subsequent segments are similarly routed to other tracks in the cart after the cart is elevated to register the empty track to be loaded with the corresponding transfer rail. As a result, the unloading and transporting chain for rebuild and repair is significantly simplified while reducing the overall time and burden associated therewith.
