Abstract
An apparatus for handling palletized goods stacked in tiers consists of a pivoted cradle having two substantially perpendicular supports for the goods, one of said supports normally constituting a horizontal loading plane and the other a vertical supporting plane, said planes being adapted alternatingly to support the goods due to the pivoting movement of the cradle. According to the invention the supporting plane is composed of a plurality of carriages which are movable towards and away from the loading plane in such a way that the various tiers are separable from each other when supported by the supporting plane formed of the carriages.
