Abstract:
The present invention discloses an apparatus, system and a method providing for a self-contained, adjustable, mobile, mechanical pallet and cart stacking system for use in (a) stacking and staging all types of products and related implements within the seller/vendor's warehouse facilities, (b) stacking and securing the products, and implements within the enclosed delivery truck cargo spaces during the transport to customers of such implements, while increasing/maximizing the utilization of space within the enclosed cargo area of the transport truck by adjusting to the heights of less-than-full pallets of said implements thereby allowing for more implements to be loaded and transported, and finally (c) the self-contained process of off-loading, receiving and staging of the implements at the location of the customers of the implements without the need for additional equipment. The disclosed system, however, allows for adjusting the apparatus to accommodate stacking multiple pallets and/or carts to maximize cubic capacities and reduce square footage requirements.

Claim (Index 1):
