Abstract
An automatic palletizer for bundled stacks of sheets wherein bundles of sheets coming from a stacker are positioned on a receiver which collects and supports the stacks in a generally upstanding position. A tiltable pallet holder is adjacent the receiver and supports a pallet in an upright position, and the bundles of sheets are moved onto the pallet holder and against the pallet. Supports and controls are associated with the pallet holder for tilting the pallet holder to position the pallet in a horizontal position and thus have the bundles of sheets in a prone position on the horizontal pallet holder.
