Pallet deck mounted on 10-in. wheels was developed at Walker Naval Yard of Vickers Ltd, and has been put on show; it is designed to facilitate quick loading and unloading of cargo stowed in wings of holds and 'tween-deck areas; it is moved by pushbutton from sides of holds to position under open hatchway where cargo in container units can be loaded down on to it; pallet then slides back into its original position and locking device ensures that it is secure for sea.
