Abstract

A device for preparing metal sheets for transport wherein the sheets are delivered on a conveyor belt from a shearing region to a stacking region in which the sheets are engaged from above at the discharge end of the conveyor belt and transported longitudinally and deposited on selected ones of tables to build up stacks of sheets. The stacks of sheets are moved laterally by lateral movement of the tables or by laterally extending chains to a lifting station wherein the stacks of sheets are engaged from above by cranes and conveyed thereby to a binding station for binding of the stacks of sheets.
