ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for stacking brick in packages suitable for shipping or handling is disclosed. Such package is provided with two spaced voids adapted to receive the fork of a lift mechanism for handling the package. Arrays of rows of superposed pairs of brick are received at a setdown position and are conveyed to a transfer position where they are assembled in grids for stacking. A void row grid is formed by removing as a unit the upper layer of selected rows of brick to form a first void and such upper layer is subsequently inserted between adjacent superposed pairs of brick at another location to form a grid having a full lower layer and an upper layer having spaced voids therein. The void row grid is transferred to the stack by gripping the lower full layer thereof.
