ABSTRACT:
A cart loading machine including a loading section for loading objects onto a multi-tiered cart, and an infeed conveyor section for conveying the objects to the loading section. The loading section includes a framework defining an open area for receiving the multi-tiered cart, and a elevator mechanism for vertically moving the cart relative to the framework within the open area. A stationary accumulation table is disposed adjacent to the framework and accumulates an array of the objects thereon. A pusher is associated with the accumulation table for pushing an accumulated array from the accumulation table and onto one of the shelves of the multi-tiered cart. Initially, the cart is raised so that its bottommost shelf is level with the accumulation table, such that when the pusher is actuated, the accumulated array is loaded onto the bottommost shelf. The cart is then lowered until the next shelf is level with the accumulation table, while the next array is being accumulated on the accumulation table. The new array is then pushed by the pusher onto the next shelf. This process is repeated until all of the shelves of the cart are filled.
