Abstract
A device for transporting banana bunches includes two substantially horizontal slides supported by a platform. The slides are formed with first and second interconnected levels of moving tracks receiving a purality of pairs of rollers. Each pair of rollers is interconnected by a cross-bar, so that each pair of rollers moves laterally and passes from the first level to the second level and visa versa. A purality of shock absorber units are anchored to each cross-bar. Arrangements for hanging the banana bunches are situated between the shock absorber units.
