Abstract

See full text

A system and method for unloading palletized cargo from an intermodal shipping container is provided, including a platform of conveyer rollers and a winch with a motor and cable connected to a hook. The hook may have prongs with grappling hooks that can be attached to a pallet at the base and can pull the pallet from the container onto the platform where the pallet can be picked up with a forklift. The platform can be adjusted to the height of the floor of the container. The hook may have a V-shape with two arms with grappling hooks at the distal end of each arm and a bolt in the apex to control the spreading of the arms.
