Abstract: The invention concerns moving of load units laden on pallets or load sheets. The invention provides a load truck (10) (FIG. 2) for moving load units (40). The truck (10) includes a load support structure (12) and a travelling member (28) for pushing a load unit (40) from the structure (12). It includes also a hydraulic cylinder assembly (32), acting between the member (28) and a member (26) fixed with respect to the structure (12), for displacing the member (28). The invention further provides a method (FIG. 6) of offloading a load unit (40) from a load truck (10). It involves anchoring the truck (10) during at least a last stage of forward pushing of the load unit (40) from the truck (10) by means of a load shifting mechanism (25) of the load truck (10), thereby to restrain the load truck (10) against rearward displacement and push the load unit (40) against an object (48).
