ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for palletizing unit loads including an input roller conveyor, a guide displaceable between the driven rollers of the input roller conveyor and having a plurality of stirrup-shaped elements liftable above and sinkable below the upper surface level of the rollers and having a stepped upper surface with at least two unit load supporting surfaces, a stacker located adjacent to and sidewise of the input roller conveyor, and a sliding device for shifting a unit load layer formed in the waiting area of the input roller conveyor onto the stacker; with the method of palletizing unit loads with the use of the palletizing apparatus including sequentially lifting rows of unit loads with stepped support surfaces of the stirrup-shaped element above the upper surface level of the input roller conveyor and displacing the lifted rows into the waiting area, and lowering the guide so that the unit load support surfaces are located beneath an upper surface level of the waiting area, whereby the first and second rows are deposited onto the upper surface of the waiting area.
