Abstract
Hot slabs to be carried to a soaking pit by a railborne transporter, provided with two sets of vertical guide bars flanking an array of vertically reciprocable gripper arms, ride prone on a first roller conveyor to a pickup area where they are erected by a first group of swingable prongs for engagement by the gripper arms as the transporter moves over that area. Cooled slabs coming from the soaking pit are delivered by these gripper arms to a receiving area alongside the pickup area where they are transferred to a second group of swingable prongs subsequently depositing them prone on a second roller conveyor for removal to another destination.
