The standard pallet has a pallet base and plates are piled on the pallet base directly. The multi-pallet comprises a pallet base and pallet components stacked on the pallet base. Each pallet has pallet components which each store a single plate. A transfer device is provided for loading a blank plate (pre-worked plate) to the laser machine and unloading a post-worked plate from the laser machine. Returning devices are provided for returning post-worked plates to the stack yard.
