ABSTRACT:
Business forms are stacked using a cart having first and second portions pivotally movable with respect to each other from a substantially L-shaped configuration to a substantially in-line configuration with each portion having a conveyor associated with it, and a docking station. The cart with the first and second portions in the substantially L-shaped configuration is moved into operative association with the docking station. The cart is lifted and rotated in the docking station so that the second portion is substantially horizontal, and the first portion of the cart is pivoted with respect to the second portion so that the first portion is in the substantially in-line configuration with respect to the second portion. The conveyors are operated so that business forms are moved onto the first portion, and then onto the second portion, with the second conveyor operating at a speed of at least fifty percent greater than the first conveyor (e. g. about ten times as fast). An indicator automatically indicates when the frame is substantially full of forms and then the forms are moved off the first portion and operation of the conveyors stopped, and then the first portion is pivoted back to the substantially L-shaped configuration, the cart is lowered and rotated so that the second portion is substantially vertical, and the cart is manually rolled out of contact with the docking station.
