ABSTRACT:
Apparatus suitable to be appended to a transfer press system, which fabricates panel products of various shapes and sizes, for palletizing them in any of several different modes depending upon the nature of the pressings. As a conveyor transports successive pressings from the transfer press system, a loader picks up one pressing at a time from the conveyor and carries it to a loading station, where the pressing is released either in a recumbent attitude or, after being turned 90 degrees, in an upstanding attitude. Released recumbently, the successive pressings are stacked on a pallet either in a controlled flatwise loading mode or in a free-fall flatwise loading mode. A controlled flatwise loading mechanism and a retractable fork assembly are provided for the two flatwise loading modes. Either an insert loading mode or an edgewise loading mode is possible for the pressings released upstandingly from the loader. For the insert loading mode a pallet is used which has planted thereon uprights with horizontal arms extending from their top ends, in combination with pressings having apertures formed therein. An insert loading mechanism transfers the apertured pressings from the loader onto the horizontal arms on the pallet. The pallet with the uprights also allows the pressings to be loaded edgewise thereon by leaning against the uprights.
