112 and cargo supports 104 106 is closely confined between end walls 113 and 114 no separate restraint of coils 100 102 is provided fig1 is a similar view of container internal space 103 partly loaded through end doors 115 spacer 109 and cargo support 104 are in position and spacer 110 is being moved longitudinally as shown by arrow 116 towards its final position coil 100 has been placed on cargo support 104 by means described below after placement of cargo support 104 in position similarly coils 101 and 102 will be placed on their respective supporting cargo supports 105 and 106 in the same way after placement of spacers 105 and 106 in space 103 a difficulty with stowing in the way shown in fig1 is that it can be impossible for a suitably sized forklift to enter space 103 fig1 shows a way in which this problem can be overcome a wheeled apparatus 121 is provided which can be attached to a forklift 120 and which has a chassis 123 the chassis 123 being mounted on wheels 124 and a support in the form of an elongate sling 122 that can pass through coils such as coil 100 the chassis has a lifting means in the form of a hydraulic cylinder 125 whereby sling 122 can be raised and lowered as shown by arrow 126 a rearwardly extending elongate coupling in the form of a beam 127 is mounted to sling 122 in this embodiment at a pivot 128 and is coupled at its opposite rear end to a counterweight 129 coupling of beam 127 to counterweight 129 allows a degree of relative movement between them counterweight 129 is.
