Abstract

A load forming system includes a feed conveyor, a load former, a transfer platform and a shifter having a contact body and an actuator for moving the contact body toward and away from the load former to shift objects from the transfer platform onto the load former. The shifter has an enabled state in which the actuator can move the contact body, and a disabled state in which movement of the contact body is prevented. The transfer platform includes a first section and a second section hingedly connected to the first section. In an automated configuration the second section is raised and the shifter is enabled and a guard is mounted at the second edge of the second section, and in a worker-assisted configuration the second section is lowered and the shifter is disabled.
