Abstract
The invention relates to a method for transporting a stack of rolled-up turf sods, whereby the rolled-up sods are stacked on top of one another in several layers. Each layer comprises a few rows of rolled-up sods, located side by side, whereby each row consists of a few rolled-up sods, being in line, and the longitudinal axes of the rolled-up sods in the one layer extend transversely to the longitudinal axes of the rolled-up sods in a layer located under and/or above said layer. The stack of rolled-up sods, in order to be transported, is carried by a fork having a number of teeth, whereby the rolled-up sods of the lowermost layer are directly supported by the teeth extending parallel to the longitudinal axes of the rolled-up sods of the lowermost layer, such that each rolled-up sod of the lowermost layer is supported by two teeth located side by side.
