Abstract: OF THE INVENTION A freight transporter is disclosed herein which includes a load support which has a load support face arranged to underlie and support load units during transportation thereof and a carriage which has a load carrying face. An elevator mechanism is provided for adjusting the relative positions of the load carrying face of the carriage and the load support face of the load support so that the load units may be selectively supported by the load support means or the carriage. When the load units are supported by the carriage, they may be moved with the carriage along the freight transporter and when supported by the supports, they are suitably supported for transportation by the transporter.
