Summary:This invention relates to an unloading device for shipping containers, such as trucks. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus for pulling a load from a container. Apparatus for unloading a load from a container having a floor, includes a floor sheet placed on the floor of the container, the floor sheet having a top surface with a coefficient of static friction less than about 0.3. A pull sheet placed on the top surface of the floor sheet, the pull sheet having a bottom surface with a coefficient of static friction less than about 0.5. The pull sheet has a tensile strength sufficient to enable the pull sheet to be pulled from the container while maintaining the load on the top surface of the pull sheet to unload the load from the container.
