  • Publication number: 20050178091
    Abstract: A material handling method (and corresponding apparatus) packages material (such as loose-fill thermal insulation product) into elongate bags, and automatically arranges the elongate bags into groups, wherein at least one group has a cross-stacked configuration. The bag groups are automatically lifted and transported, group by group, to form a multi-row stack of elongate bags whose bottom row is realized by a cross-stacked group. The multi-row stack is transported to a customer. The elongate bags preferably each have dimensions of about 38? by 21? by 8.5? and carry about 27 lbs. of product. Preferably, a modified clamp truck is used to lift and transport the bag groups. The clamp truck has two clamp members that translate relative to one another with one clamp member having a central support bar integral thereto and laterally disposed between said two clamp members.
