Abstract

A transportation apparatus for transporting heavy loads, particularly for transporting print product reels in the printing industry, has a frame (2) and at least one rigid axle or axle journal (6) with at least one wheel or roller (5). During transportation the apparatus is raised in such a way that only one horizontal transport load axle or one or more axle journal (6) located on an axial line exert an action. These axle journals (6) are arranged in a first area (17) of the outside of frame (2), the axial line being substantially at right angles to a line connecting the center of the frame to the first outside area. At least one lifting element (8) for supporting on the straddleforks (11) or forks of the vehicle (10) is, in a second area (18) of the outside of frame (2) facing the transport load axle, fixed to the frame. The straddleforks (11) of a transporation vehicle (10) are so introduced beneath the frame (2) of the transportation apparatus ( 1), that the axles of the support wheels (13) are at least approximately located on the axial line of the rollers or wheels (5) of the transport load axle or axle journal or are supported by the transportation apparatus.
